Testimonials

We don’t quite have the words in this moment to describe how grateful we are for Andy, Dean, and Krystel. In what felt like some of the darkest days, you three remained such a light while allowing us to truly stay grounded and prepare to work towards fatherhood. For this, we are forever indebted to you.

When entering into this process, never in a million years did we envision experiencing the last 8 months, but it became clear to us very shortly after meeting you all that your practice is far beyond work, but a passion. That passion led to the successful (and peaceful) birth of our babies.

While we spend the next few weeks in California, we can’t help but reflect on the incredible, calculated, and impeccably executed work of your firm.

We are so thankful we were introduced to you and hope to work with you all on our next journey.

I’m sure we’ll all touch base soon, but in the interim, I’m sending you all love and light and thanking you from the bottom of our hearts for doing the work that changed our lives forever.

I would like to send a big “THANK YOU” to Ms. Krystel Zambrano, who is an absolutely solid professional lawyer. I recall her and will strongly recommend her to my friends if they require her expertise in a particular area.Please send my best regards to Krystel.
Thank you Kwam, for all your help in communications, you are quick in responding, friendly, and professional as well.

I have worked with Vorzimer Masserman law firm in many surrogacy and family law matters over the years, and they are the number one in their field. They have great experience and a very deep knowledge of family and fertility law. They also know how to take care of their clients and take them by the hand throughout their journey.
Super recommended!

I am so impressed at how you have helped with this case. We truly appreciate it and will definitely share our experience with you when surrogates and intended parents ask for our feedback during attorney selection.

Vorzimer & Masserman were great to work with from beginning to end. The consult was very informative, with information regarding our specific case as well as pricing. We had all our questions answered, and after interviewing a few different attorneys, we ultimately decided to work with them. The whole process was easy and super quick! Our attorney worked with our GC attorney, and the negotiating back and forth was minimal. We would highly recommend working with this group!

The entire staff at this office is professional, knowledgeable, and prompt to respond to any questions. They represented us in our surrogacy journey and made the entire process smooth and easy. Highly recommend!

Dean Masserman represented me in a complex interstate custody battle. I am very happy to say that the judgment was granted in my favor, and I retained full physical and legal custody of my child with zero court-ordered visitation to the other parent. Dean was very good at explaining the entire process, always communicated promptly, and I was extremely impressed by his extensive legal knowledge and ability to defend me with his expertise. All in all, he made a very difficult situation much more bearable, and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with this firm!

I had a consultation with Dean, and he’s a great attorney. He guided me through the process, and all the advice he offered was very helpful. His fees are pretty straightforward. I had a clear understanding of how the surrogacy process works after I talked to him. His professional team was able to finish legal within my schedule, so my surrogate did the transfer on time. Thanks to his team, I now have a precious little one! I highly recommend this law firm, and the consultation is complimentary!

It is always a pleasure working with your team and working together to create happy families!
