When it comes to family formation you want a leading expert to guide you.

Are you in need of a sperm donor, egg donor or surrogate? We can assist with the documentation required to enable you to use the biological material of a third party to create your family. We work with numerous fertility clinics in Southern California and throughout to assist people who need to ensure that they are the parent or parents of the children that result from the use of third party genetic material.

The law pertaining to who is a parent is complex and changing.  Things are not always the way they appear.  Despite the best intentions, people find themselves in adverse situations.  As one of the leading attorneys handling parentage matters, our office can provide representation to establish parentage, or defend against a parentage claim. Fred has handled the most high profile cases in California regarding these matters, and has effectuated changes in the law as a result. If you have questions as to your parentage rights, contact us.

In today's society, it is not uncommon for people to freeze sperm, eggs, or even embryos with the intention of using them in the future. Unfortunately, disputes over such material can arise after they are created.  Fred has extensive experience in this area, having handled the most high-profile cases in the country addressing attempts by one party to take unilateral control over cryopreserved material.  If you find yourself in this situation, or if you wish to make sure that you have the proper documentation to protect yourself, contact our office.  In addition to handling such disputes, we can also advise and review parentage and consent documentation provided by fertility clinics to avoid problems down the road.
