Welcome to the Law Office of Elizabeth Swire Falker, Esq., PLLC.
My name is Liz (I am sometimes known as The Stork Lawyer® ), and I am a former infertility patient whose life was transformed as a result of a near ten-year quest to become a parent. You can read more about me and my journey through infertility and to becoming a reproductive lawyer here… but suffice it to say that had it not been for my own experiences trying to build a family over 20 years ago, I would not be here, in a position to help you build your family, or help someone else achieve their dream of a family.
In the 20+ years I have been practicing reproductive law, I have had the privilege of helping well-over 2,000 families grow. It is an often-overwhelming process and can be prohibitively expensive. I understand that because I lived it.
Because of my own personal experiences becoming a parent, it is my mission to provide compassionate and personalized legal services.
Legal Services
Third-party assisted reproduction arrangements, like egg and sperm donation or gestational surrogacy, present unique legal challenges. Among the many issues you need an attorney to assist you with are those surrounding confidentiality and anonymity, informed consent, future contact, financial issues and arrangements, and escrow management. New York recently adopted a new statute, The Child Parent Security Act, legalizing surrogacy in New York for the first time. It is—IMHO—one of the best surrogacy statutes in the United States. But there is no doubt that it can be overwhelming to navigate, especially if you are doing an independent surrogacy journey. You can find out more about New York’s surrogacy statute on this website.
