Jeanine Castagna, Esq.

Jeanine Castagna is an adoption pro! She is kind, caring, and professional. She is there for her clients 100%. Jeanine takes time to explain the adoption process to you and also coaches you on how to approach each situation that comes your way. Whenever we had to contact her with a question, we got a response quickly- same day. Jeanine truly cares about all of her clients. She is fair and honest. She will never give you the run around. We highly recommend her. She is the reason we are parents.

We had the pleasure of working with Jeanine Castagna throughout our adoption journey. Jeanine is extremely professional, caring, knowledgeable and is very present in her approach to working with clients. We had direct access to Jeanine via phone, email, and text. We emailed Jeanine questions on a daily basis and her turn around time was always quick. At times we'd wake up at 2am with a burning question and would send out an email. Sure enough we'd have a response the next morning and our minds were put at ease. We always felt safe knowing Jeanine was in our corner. Even when out of the country on vacation, Jeanine always checked in and made herself available to us. She never sugar coated anything which is exactly what we needed going through this process. She encouraged us to push forward even when things got tough. We began advertising in May 2018 and our baby came home one year later. We highly recommend using Jeanine as your adoption attorney. She helped us bring our baby girl home, she was with us every step of the way. She truly cares with all of her heart. She is an angel in adoption!

Jeanine Castagna has been an absolute joy to work with, ALWAYS reachable. We were very lucky to work with such high level of professionalism, wisdom and dedication . Thank ypu so much for being there for us not only in the work level, but supporting us throughout this process of adopting our son. I highly recommend her services with 10 stars. Thank you Jeanine!

From the moment my wife and I had our consultation with Jeanine, we knew she would be the attorney we would select. Adoption Law is very specific and the entire process is quite overwhelming. It's important to hire someone who not only understands the laws, but who also has compassion for the emotional roller coaster adoptive parents are on. Jeanine was ALWAYS available to my wife and I. We had hundreds of questions over the course of about 18 months of our search/finalization. From website / advertising suggestions, support groups, home studies, certification and fingerprinting, to vetting some of the "inquiries" we received.... Jeanine was patient, knowledgeable and available. I would often email her at night and even after 10pm, she was responding. When going through the adoption process, your emotions are heightened and with so many variables and things left to chance, it was vital that we had an attorney that knew how the process works. Jeanine knew the various adoption laws in multiple states (because they are different) and walked us through every step of the process. Once our beautiful girl arrived, Jeanine provided documentation for our insurance, doctors and even our priest (baptism) confirming our pending adoption. The day of our finalization, Jeanine was there, calming us down and sharing in our joy as our daughter officially became ours. Should we be blessed with another opportunity to adopt, I will be sure to work with Jeanine again. We highly recommend Jeanine and wish you luck on your journey.

How do you write about the person who helped make you a family? There are no words. From the moment we met Jeanine, we felt a level of knowledge, passion, professionalism, experience, resourcefulness, and empathy that we’ve never before experienced among any lawyer, ever. In fact, she’s not a lawyer; she’s an angel and a gift! We have already recommended her to others wishing to start a family and would not hesitate to do so a million times over. She was always available to answer questions, give invaluable guidance and advice and was fiercely protective of our best interests throughout the entire process. Jeanine loves what she does and it shows. If you want the absolute best, Jeanine is it. Hands down.
