Dylan came referred to me by the fertility clinic I used to complete a known sperm donor agreement. In short, he has been simply wonderful on all fronts and gone above-and-beyond in fulfilling the actual counselor role when there was a medical incident. There were unique nuances to the agreement, and a few changes back and forth until everyone was happy. Dylan was prompt, thorough and best of all a warm human during a stressful process with a great sense of humor to lighten things up. When I saw the initial draft that addressed and referred multiple times to existing case law in a burgeoning and ever-changing field, I had a sense of confidence (and crash course in reproductive law) that this was as ironclad as could be at this time. During the review of requested changes, it was actually a “fun” time as we discussed possibilities and situations. If you find yourself needing Dylan’s help, know that he has your back and will advocate for you in a balanced manner... Such a professional class act! - Priscilla

I retained Dylan as my lawyer for a surrogacy journey. We connected through Men Having Babies. I’ve always had his greatest attention, availability and most importantly - since actions speak more than words - his swift action. He kept the ball rolling and never slows down a legal process. This journey isn’t easy and could be pretty stressful, and Dylan is great at navigating the hurdles. He's empathic and personable and if you are about to embark on a complicated surrogacy journey, these traits of his definitely come into play. From drafting a comprehensive contract to working on the pre-birth order, Dylan showed dedication, professionalism and passion for my best interest. He struck a delicate balance while considering the surrogate’s well-being. His communication & instructions are very clear, making things easy & efficient. Unfortunately, my first journey was unsuccessful and Dylan kept representing me for the 2nd journey while taking into consideration my financial constraints. I will forever be grateful to Dylan for his tremendous assistance in helping me turn my parenthood dream into a reality.

Dylan was our attorney during two surrogacy journeys (as the surrogate), and was great each time! Dylan is personable, knowledgeable, experienced, and responsive. We absolutely recommend him.
