Family law attorneys in Van Nuys, California

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Chirnese Liverpool and the way she handled our second parent adoption! As a married LGBTQ family this step meant everything to us, not because we needed validation of our love, but because we needed legal protection for our family everywhere. From our very first meeting, Chirnese was incredibly inviting, reassuring, and knowledgeable. She immediately made me (the non bio mom) feel seen, respected, and supported throughout the entire process. What could have felt overwhelming instead felt smooth, organized, and empowering. She worked promptly and efficiently, less than a month from our first meeting, we had our finalized adoption certificate in hand!! That kind of professionalism and follow-through is rare! The moment we held that certificate was deeply emotional. It wasn’t just a piece of paper, it was security, protection, and recognition. Chirnese handled our family’s story with care, urgency, and genuine compassion. We are forever grateful for her role in helping make our family fully and legally secure! We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone navigating second parent adoption!"
