Services & Costs

The Law Office of Katrina Cassidy will provide all services to Intended Parents in a compassionate, affordable and timely manner. Unlike many agencies, we do not attempt to fit available surrogates to the Intended Parents and ask Intended Parents to compromise on this extremely important choice. Rather, it is our belief that a custom search should be done for each set of Intended Parents based on their specific location, needs and criteria. The Law Office of Katrina Cassidy offers any or all of the services listed below at the indicated prices.
