Six stars! Of all the providers we worked with in our surrogacy journey (other lawyers, doctors, clinics, hospitals, agencies, etc) Marla was far and away the best and our favorite. In addition to being an exceptional attorney (knowledgable, deep expertise, optimal outcomes), she is incredibly responsive, supportive, compassionate, and on top of everything. Even the hospital staff remarked that Marla was the most "professional and on the ball lawyer we've ever worked with." It's a pleasure to recommend her to you!

Marla is the true definition of the word Mensch. Through the entire emotional surrogacy process Marla never made us a feel like just another client. She truly made us feel like she was part of her family. Marla has an extensive knowledge of the insides and outs of surrogacy from a legal and judicial standpoint. Honestly, there were no delays in any steps of the legal process due to Marla's experience. You can tell Marla has a true passion for her job. We always felt comfortable asking any question to Marla.The surrogacy process is very emotional for the intended parents, Marla understands the emotional side and has true compassion. We would very highly recommend Marla. If there was an option for a 10 stars review, Marla would get 20.

Never had to worry for a moment, she was thorough, and always kept us in the loop during the whole process. Highly recommend!

Marla is not only an amazing attorney, but a great support and wealth of information. My husband and I have gone through two surrogacy journeys, with separate carriers, and would not want anyone other than Marla representing us. All documents were presented to us in a timely manner and everything was clearly explained from all angles. The surrogacy process is not very clear cut and it is high emotion. Marla supported us through both pregnancies past birth. I have and will continue, to recommend Marla's services to anyone looking into surrogacy.

Marla is an excellent lawyer in case if you ever need any help with representing during the surrogacy process. Since, this was our first time getting involved in surrogacy process, both me & my husband were scared. Especially after hearing the experiences that some of people had regarding the legal part of this process, we were not sure if we wanted to go that way. However, after meeting Marla, we felt that we can do this. From day one she has been there to answer all our questions & doubts. Marla was very professional, experienced & yet was sensitive about our situation. She had not only went out of her way to make us feel comfortable provided guidance in every step of this process from legal point of view.
I will highly recommend Marla if you ever you need any help with legal consultation for the surrogacy process or anything else for that matter. Our best wishes are with you & your family!! Meenal & Prashant

We contacted Marla to be our surrogacy attorney as she was referred to us by our doctor at our IVF clinic. She has been not only professional, but caring as well. She took to the time to make sure we are taken care of and addressed all our questions and needs thoughtfully though this complicated and amazing process. This is the kind of quality that anyone would want when going through surrogacy. Would 100% use her services again in the future given the opportunity.

Amazing and quick experience. She made sure all my questions were answered no matter how many I asked and suggested things that were not on the contract to protect my interests. #AWESOME!!!

Excellent service from Marla Neufeld supporting us navigate the legal process in Florida.

Marla was an awesome attorney from start to finish. She was very knowledgeable, answered any questions in a very timely manner and was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her services!

I started my first surrogacy journey back in the earlier half of 2018. I had no clue as to what attorney I needed to assist with the review of my contract. My agency suggested Marla. I was SO please with going through her. She quickly went between myself and IP's attorney to get things resolved in a very timely manner. Any questions I had she was able to resolve those as well. Even after my journey she continued to assist with anything she could. Calling & emailing after hours. She is very knowledgeable and eager to assist in any way possible. I highly recommend her!

We had a decisive decision when we´ve met Marla Neufeld and she gave us the fantastic support to have our baby.
we only have to thank her for her job, first class!
She was really the best we could have.
Sincerally,

Marla was an excellent lawyer for our surrogacy! She was informative and kind, everything was on time with no issues whatsoever. We never felt any difficulty whatsoever with the legal process. I would highly recommend Marla for this process, everything went off without a hitch!

Marla was amazing to work with - AGAIN for our sibling journey. Repeat business speaks for the amount of trust we have in her. Both of our surrogacy journeys were independent from an agency so having someone on our side that knew the ropes and gave advice really made it possible for us to still continue down this path to parenthood on a somewhat restrictive budget. Her advice helped us while we screened our potential surrogates and prepared for contracts. We also liked that she had been in our position before after growing her own family through surrogacy. She knows how vulnerable of a position that intended parents are in and is a very compassionate person to work with.

Working with Marla was AMAZING! She was so persistent and helpful with my journey as a first time surrogate. Thank you Marla! Looking forward to working with you on my next journey as a surrogate!

At the end of a very long battle with infertility, my wife and I entered the legal phase of our gestational surrogacy arrangement with the same concerns as we had every step of the process to that point. We didn't know what to expect, what we should be concerned about, or how to make sure that we were protected. As an attorney myself, I wanted to make sure that when our child was born, we could concentrate on our family without the fear of legal concerns.

Marla exceeded all of our expectations. She was knowledgable. She was compassionate. She was thorough. She was professional. And she was kind.

Looking back, we were vulnerable and afraid before we met Marla. We lived in Chicago. Our gestational carrier lived in Florida. It sounds like hyperbole, but the distance didn't concern us...because we had Marla. Never once, did we feel like we weren't in the best hands possible with Marla. She tailored our agreement based on our expectations, she negotiated on our behalf and, most importantly, she was always one step ahead in securing our legal parentage.

My wife and I will be forever grateful for the work of the medical professionals, surrogacy agency, and our selfless gestational carrier. But, we will never forget the calm and reassuring legal hand of Marla Neufeld. We will always remember her as a significant and irreplaceable reason why we have a family.

We only wish that there was a louder way to recommend Marla. She is clearly among the very best in her field.

If you are looking for an attorney to assist you with the Surrogacy process, then Marla is the perfect attorney. She helped us with all legal aspects in the process of having our miracle baby. She was very responsive, knowledgeable, caring and helpful with everything we needed from her during this time. I highly recommend Marla Neufeld Esq!

Marla is wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her. As a surrogate she looked out for my interests, thoroughly explained my lengthy contract to me and made the whole process quick and easy! She also was genuinely excited and supportive when I was matched with my perfect couple. Thank you Marla! If you need surrogacy services please call her. You will not be disappointed

Great surrogate attorney. I was a gestational surrogate and I lived far away so I couldn’t come to her office. However, she was super responsive to my Emails and texts and keeps your best interests a priority! She explained all my rights thoroughly so I knew what to expect. She made signing my contract a breeze. I highly recommend her!

Marla was amazing to work with! She was essential in helping us with our adoption/surrogacy process. Made us feel comfortable and totally unstressed.

Incredible person. We never meet personaly, but she did a great part in the most important time of my life. Never had to worry about anything, Marla always provided all the help that I need it even during her childen school activities. Thank you for everything.

Marla was pivotal in helping us have a family. She is kind, compassionate and very knowledgeable. She helped us navigate the process from start to finish and was always available for any questions. I highly recommend Marla to help anyone navigate the surrogacy process and help build their family.

We could not have been any happier with Marla and her services. She was informative, responsive, and was there for us every step of the way. Anytime we had a question it was answered quickly and accurately. She told us what to expect and when to expect it and she was on-point every single time. She made what is obviously a very stressful process as easy-going as it could be. I could not recommend her more.

Marla gave me so much confidence through the process of having our twins through surrogacy. Before even retaining Marla, she spent over an hour on the phone with me answering all sorts of questions. As our attorney through the process, she was constantly responsive and helpful. She was professional and kind, and we felt extremely lucky to have her help us navigate this difficult process. Thank you so much Marla!

Marla took our struggle with infertility and turned it into her passion. She regularly lectures, writes articles, and has co-authored a book on Surrogacy, Same Sex Adoption and other reproductive technology matters. Her clients are always thankful because Marla is responsive and goes above and beyond. Again, this is because she personally went through this often-difficult and emotionally-draining process herself.
