A Message of Gratitude:
It has been a profound privilege to serve clients during the last four decades. I am sincerely grateful for the trust you have placed in me and for the opportunity to be a part of your life’s journey. The practice of law has taken to places beyond anything, I could have dreamt – watching adoptees blossom into wonderful productive adults, traveling to countries to open doors for adoption, and seeing the patriotism of new American citizens. I am deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in me.
Administrative Matters Relating to Former Files and Records:
While I am no longer providing legal services or accepting cases, I will remain available to assist with administrative matters relating to former files and records until March 31, 2027.
If you have an administrative question or require information concerning a former file or record, please send your inquiry to Steffaslaw@gmail.com. In your email, please include your full name, telephone number, email address, and a brief description regarding your inquiry. I will review your message and, where appropriate, respond within 72 hours. Please note that this availability is limited to administrative matters and does not constitute the provision of legal advice or legal services.
Information regarding the custodian of adoption files will be posted on this website once those arrangements are finalized.
For Former Immigration Clients:
If you require legal advice, representation, or assistance with an immigration matter after my retirement, I encourage you to consult with a qualified immigration attorney of your choosing. Licensed immigration attorneys may be located through American Immigration Lawyers Association – AILA’s Immigration Lawyer Search at https://www.ailalawyer.com
For Former Adoption Clients – Adoptees, Adoptive Parents & Birth Parents. For adoption clients and families whom I have had the honor of serving, please note that post adoption searches, reunion inquiries, and related requests should be directed to the appropriate:
- State reunion registry
- Authorized agency
- Superior Court in the state where the adoption was finalized
Thank you for the privilege of allowing me to serve you. I extend my heartfelt appreciation and my very best wishes to you and your family.
With Sincere Appreciation,
Irene Steffas
