Stephanie has helped us with a surrogacy pregnancy and we have worked with her for 2 years. She has been professional, helpful and has always been there for us when we have needed her during the ride. We are so happy we hired her and recommend her stongly.

Stephanie has taken two cases for me, one more complex than the other. Her genuine care for the family's well being and professionalism from beginning to end, is something that I will always be thankful for. I can honestly say that because of her, my daughter's lives and mine are better. She is brilliant at what she does!

My husband and I, as Intended Parents, used Stephanie for two gestational surrogate journeys and found that she was always knowledgeable about the laws and regulations related to surrogacy and went above and beyond to assist and find answers/resources for out of state relationships. Stephanie was always quick to respond and helped ensure that as we moved through our journey that the legal side of the relationship never held anything up and allowed us to focus on the exciting parts of bringing a child into the world.

Stephanie handled a very confidential matter for my wife and I which was also very complicated. Her communication was excellent and at all times we knew what was going on. We are both trial attorneys therefore we know exactly what to expect from an attorney based on what we give our own clients. We would hire Stephanie again and are thoroughly pleased with her service, especially the communication. I cannot stress the latter enough as that is the biggest complain most people have about attorneys is that they don't hear from them and don't know what is going on - we always did.

I highly recommend the Law Offices of Stephanie M. Brinkley. Stephanie is a consumate professional who genuinely cares about the well-being of her clients. Stephanie's law firm represented my wife and I in the out-of-state surrogacy birth of our first child. My wife and I live in Illinois, while our surrogate lived in South Carolina. My wife and I needed a South Carolina attorney to draft the surrogacy agreement, pre-birth order, and final birth order documents. Stephanie Brinkley's law firm represented quite admirably. From the very first conference call we had with Stephanie, we were very impressed with her knowledge of the subject. My wife and I learned a great deal about surrogacy and the laws impacting surrogacy births in South Carolina. We were also impressed with Stephanie's patience. Stephanie took the time to walk us through the surrogacy agreement, the pre-birth order, and the final birth order documents in painstaking detail, paragraph by paragraph. I was thrilled to have someone who was as detail-oriented as Stephanie. Stephanie was also receptive to feedback. While we were stepping through the surrogacy agreement, Stephanie incorporated some of our suggestions for minor tweaks to the language. While most lawyers would simply tell their clients "this has to be worded like this for legal purposes", Stephanie didn't take that approach. Instead, she carefully considered our point of view and in many cases agreed with our suggestions. Lastly, my wife and I appreciated the personal investment that Stephanie made in us as people. We felt like we had more than a transactional attorney/client relationship with Stephanie; Stephanie made us feel like she cared about our well-being and about us achieving our ultimate goal: the birth of a healthy baby. This was evidenced by Stephanie's willingness to accept our phone call from the hospital when we ran into a bit of a snag with obtaining discharge papers, or when my wife was experiencing challenges with providing proper documentation for her health care insurance provider. Overall, we were very impressed with the professionalism, level of caring, and attention to detail that Stephanie devoted to our case. We would recommend Stephanie to any prospective client seeking a competent, personable, and professional attorney!

During my adoption, was one of the most stressful times in my life. I had minimal knowledge of the laws and information needed for a successful adoption. Calling the Brinkley Law Firm was one of the smartest things I could have done. The knowledge of the laws, and the open communication (days, nights, weekends) during this stressful time really help us. Anxiety and fears of the unknown didn't help, but Mrs. Brinkley and her staff made the process for my family and I pleasurable at times. Going into court we felt prepared. She built a repor with the entire family. From start to finish, she and her staff were more than professional. What a complete blessing it was to work with Stephanie Brinkley. I pray, I will never need her services again, but would recommend her services to everyone.
