San Diego-Based Surrogacy Attorney

California has some of the most progressive laws in the world regarding assisted or third -party reproduction. Every year, thousands of people come to our state to arrange a surrogate pregnancy or undergo a medical procedure to become pregnant by an egg, embryo or sperm donor.

If you intend to serve another party as a surrogate or donor, don’t take legal protections for granted. It is important to retain an experienced lawyer to have your rights and responsibilities protected in a legally binding agreement. Without an agreement, you may be opening yourself up to future litigation. It is also important to note that surrogacy law varies from state to state.

I am California reproductive law attorney Erin O’Kane Allen, in Poway, California, near San Diego. I am one of only a handful of surrogacy attorneys in Southern California who practices exclusively in the area of reproductive law, and have done so for my entire career.
