About Ellen Rubenstein
"I had the pleasure of working with Ellen to finalize my second Gestational Surrogacy Agreement. Ellen read through the entire document with me, scrutinizing legalese, asking my opinions on inclusions, and suggesting more comprehensive language. She made sure that I was well represented and protected. Ellen was meticulous and efficient making this part of the journey quick and seamless. We are able to start the next steps without having the concern that our contract forgot to cover something important. This experience is very personal for all parties involved and having a contract that addresses all of the "what ifs" provides a peace of mind that is the necessary foundation on which the whole journey is built. Ellen went above and beyond to ensure that happened for us.”
