I worked with Christine Hanisco on my surrogacy contract. She was incredible knowledgeable and helpful during the time we were negotiating my contract. She always availed herself when I had a question whether it was by email or phone. I appreciate her caring empathic ear while I had many questions and concerns while going through this process. I recommend Christine Hanisco for all of your legal needs due to surrrogracy. She also has a wide knowledge of other ‘s in and out of her field that can help with many different avenues when planning to become a surrogate such as but not limited to financial planning, employment attorneys and so forth. She practices in New Hampshire and is well versed in many other New England state’s laws. I live in Massachusetts and had no concerns at all about her knowledge of my state laws verses New Hampshire.

Attorney Hanisco was simply amazing through my entire ordeal. No matter how small or how big my questions were she always took the time to make sure that I totally understood her answers. I never felt that if I said to her I don't understand she would be upset having to explain it all over again. She stayed right on top of my case the entire time. I was always contacted each and every time there was any information or movement for my case. Once may "day in court" arrived I was very very nervous. Again, she was able to keep me calm by saying we were not leaving that conference room until I was completely calm and I understood everything. Once we were called, I knew I had hired the right attorney. She was calm but yet spoke with authority and confidence. At one point I thought I was going to faint. She was right there asking the court for a moment. She made me feel like I was the only one in that court room at that moment. I was her #1 priority before, during and after. I would recommend her to anyone who need an attorney. God forbid I every need an attorney again but if I do I will be going directly to Attorney Christine Hanisco.

Thanks Chrissy. Glenn L.
