I have worked in the area of adoptions for 20 years.  Adoption is my passion.  I work in all aspects of adoption serving adopting families, birthparents, and adoption agencies.

After spending the start of my career in the fields of real estate and finance, I made the choice to go back to law school with the goal of one day working in adoption.. I currently serve as the Treasurer for the Maricopa County National Adoption Day Foundation and have been involved with the organization since 2009. I am also a member of the Juvenile Division of the Maricopa County Bar Association and the Arizona Women Lawyers Association.. My husband and I have three children we adore- and love to take hiking, biking, and generally anything else outdoors.

Representing Adoptive Parents in Alabama and West Virginina, Robert Noone has been an adoption lawyer and advocate for abused and neglected children for over 30 years. He uses that same care and concern to insure that foster parents seeking to adopt receive the best available representation.. Although welcoming a new member into your family is an exciting time, you probably feel like you've waited long enough. Robert Noone helps expedite matters with the prompt processing of your case, bringing his decades of experience of working with adoptions and child law to make the expansion of your family a reality. Adoptions can often be emotional and confusing requiring compassion and skill in your legal journey. We take the time to make sure you understand your rights and meet with agencies, guardians and parents to insure a smooth adoption.. Our office also regularly represents stepparents, grandparents, single parents and others who have had children placed with them by another family member or Child Protective Services for an extended period of time, helping transform that temporary arrangement into a real FAMILY.. Recognizing the generosity you have in opening your home up to a child who often has no one else, Bob NEVER charges any prospective adoptive parent for a consultation. AL: and  WV:

Three principles guide my practice.  First, listen carefully to clients, and help them express what's really going on in their lives.  Second, find the least conflict-oriented path to a resolution.  Finally, pull out all the stops in pursuing that path.  Leave no stone unturned in developing a case.. I practiced business law for two years before moving to family law in 1990. Since then, I have represented state agencies, foster children, juvenile delinquents, parents, foster parents, adoptive parents, and adoption agencies.  I have worked in every aspect of family law, family mediation, and collaborative law.  I have worked with Native Alaskan tribal courts and State Superior Courts all over Alaska.. I have spent as much time in a courtroom as anyone in the state, but I only litigate when there is no good alternative.   That would be the case where the other party is dishonest, or where children are at risk of imminent harm.  Otherwise, there are great alternatives such as mediation and collaborative law.  Collaborative law gives all the support you expect from a traditional attorney-client relationship, but adds open communication within a multidisciplinary team all focused on settlement.   You may be surprised what can be accomplished without going to court.   Either way, my office can help you decide what you want, and achieve it.

Lila Newberry Bradley was delighted to expand the range of her practice by joining the firm in 2013, and she is now a named partner of Claiborne|Fox|Bradley|Goldman LLC. Lila represents clients who are creating and growing families through adoption or assisted reproduction. She believes that all people deserve the opportunity to build a family.. Lila is the former director of the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation’s Children’s Law Programs where she worked with volunteer lawyers to provide pro bono legal representation for children who were in foster care or were the subject of high-conflict custody disputes. To bring attention to the rights and needs of children, Lila authored the publication, “Family Preservation in Georgia: A Legal Guide to Preventing Unnecessary Removal to State Custody”. Lila also served as a visiting scholar with the Barton Child Law and Policy Clinic of Emory University School of Law to provide training to attorneys concerning the legal aspects of family preservation. Lila continues to have a special interest in the legal issues surrounding children in foster care, and she provides training to foster parents on how the law and the court process can ensure that children’s rights and interests are protected.. Lila knows that children will benefit when family members are secure in their legal rights and interests through proper estate planning and LGBT family agreements such as advance directives for healthcare, financial powers of attorney, domestic partnership agreements, post-adoption contact agreements, and standby guardianships. Lila’s background as a business lawyer informs her ability to prepare contracts and instruments to document and secure a family’s legal interests..

Lila is also a member of the Georgia Association of Counsel for Children and the National Association of Counsel for Children, and she served as a member and Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Georgia Association of Counsel for Children for five years.
