10/6/2017 in Mt. Laurel, NJ - On the faculty for the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education Program entitled Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Law in New Jersey: 2017. Debbie was wonderful! The road to adopting our daughters had been a long one. A friend eventually put us in touch with Debbie, who was so helpful and informative from the start.

I can’t say enough about my experience with working with Debbie Spivack on the re-adoption of my daughter. My re-adoption situation was very timely due to my daughter turning 18 and needing the US re-adoption to take place in a very short time frame. Debbie was incredible and guided me through the whole process with getting all documents needed, working with the courts to secure a court date and bringing the re-adoption all to fruition prior to my daughters birthday. This all could not have happened without Debbie’s expertise and guidance. I also have to mention Debbie’s legal assistant Debbie

This is my first online review in my 45+ years. But I feel compelled to do it because Debbie is a great lawyer and she has a good heart. She helped me adopt a relative's child. Our case was quite unique. It involved internaltional adoption of an older child. I had no clue what to do. I did a random google search and found Debbie's information. When I spoke to her for the first time, I did not have any expectation but she immediately identified a legal strategy. Honestly, I did not know if it would work back then (Debbie, please forgive me for doubting you as I had no legal background). I went with

I highly recommend Deborah Spivack for adoption services. She assisted us with our adoption and our adoption subsidy process. We had a complicated situation, the adoption was across state lines, involved multiple agencies and several appeals. She supported us throughout the entire process and her encouragement was invaluable to us. She is very knowledgeable about the law, especially in these unique circumstances. She has great instincts and gave excellent advice, we would not have made it to where we are without her. She always had our best interests in mind and advocated for our son

We presented the firm with a unique challenge during our adoption process, to pick up our case mid-stream, chart a new course, and navigate the court system during the worst of the pandemic. Debbie and her team were so professional, detailed, and helpful, and turned what was a fraught and anxious process into one we felt well-prepared for. We will always look upon their work and the outcome it produced as one of the most important - and ultimately joyous - experiences of our lives.

Ms. Spivack was great throughout our adoption process. We adopted out of state and she came recommended to us. Unbeknownst to us we adopted a special needs child. She guided us through a very challenging journey. She handled all calls, emails, and even court appearcnces in a very timely and professional manner. She is very knowledgable and a go- getter. We are very thankful we had her as our attorney and would highly recommend her.

What a Fantastic Family Attorney! Wow! From day one Debbie took time to get to know me and our family’s story. Throughout the entire adoption process Debbie was one of my go to calls pretty much every day! There was never a time she didn’t want to talk or help us out. Her knowledge of the subject matter and on adoption and law really impressed me. Going through an adoption is super hard and stressful as it is but having an attorney who you know truly cares made the journey a little bit easier. To know you had someone in your corner who understood and was willing to go the extra mile meant so

I highly recommend the Law Offices of Deborah Spivack. From our first phone conversation, Debbie was truly interested in my family's story. She was always accessible and quick to respond to my phone calls and emails. We were so happy to have her represent our family on the day we finalized our childrens' adoption.

Debbie was assigned to my case from my adoption agency to help me with finalizing my adoption.
It was a pleasure to work with her and her assistant.

My wife and I used Ms. Spivack as our attorney for the adoption of our son and she was excellent. We had a couple of issues come up during the process and she was there to help guide us. She took time to get to know us and made sure we knew everything that was to come. When she called to let us know that the adoption was finalized, the happiness in her voice made me know she was the perfect attorney. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an adoption lawyer, she is terrific!
