About Us
Hi and welcome to our firm! We are 100% adoption, 100% of the time. My name is Lisa Peck Goldberg and I am the founding attorney of the firm. I earned my law degree at Emory University and have had a diverse legal career as an Assistant District Attorney with the Brooklyn D.A.’s Office, a law clerk for a federal judge, a trial attorney in a large firm and Senior Special Trial Counsel for the New York Stock Exchange. My passions include working with and for children, so after volunteering as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), advocating for abused and neglected children and as an Ambassador to The Miracle Foundation, working to better the lives of orphans in India, I opened an adoption law practice dedicated to helping people build their families. It is my great privilege and a true pleasure to work with adoptive and foster parents and expectant mothers during their unique adoption journeys.
