Simi works with both independent and agency-represented clients.  All prospective families are welcome to engage the firm; Simi Denson, Attorney at Law, P.C. does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, marital status, age, race, religion, or disability.  Initial consultation is free of charge.  

Each side of an assisted reproduction agreement must be represented by independent legal counsel-- for example, Simi cannot represent both the intended parents and the gestational carrier in a surrogacy arrangement. She is happy to refer the other party to competent counsel, including fellows of the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys. The attorney drafting or reviewing the agreement should be licensed in the state whose law will control the agreement (usually the state where the child will be born).

Other A.R.T. or third party reproduction services may be available-- please contact Simi Denson, Attorney at Law, P.C. using the information on the Contact page.  

This is a list of available services, not an agreement to provide these services.  Fees and scope of services will be agreed in the representation agreement between client and Simi Denson, Attorney at Law, P.C.  Most services are offered on a flat fee basis.
