Utah Adoption Attorneys
If you are considering adoption in the state of Utah, one of the most important first steps is to consult with an experienced Utah adoption attorney. You must follow a specific process to formalize and legalize your adoption. Don’t leave this part to chance.

Derek Williams and his family, built through adoption.
“My interest in helping you with your adoption comes from a place of personal experience and a special connection to adoption. My wife and I adopted our two children, Ali and Ian, during my early years as an attorney.
Because I adopted my children, I understand your roller coaster of emotions, stresses, and worries. Since I have been there, I know what you need to be supported through the process, and to move you forward toward a successful adoption whenever possible. I want to help you build your family through adoption, just like Candie and I did with ours.”

What our clients say
“Derek and his team paid close attention to the specific needs of our private adoption circumstances and helped us navigate the sensitive and complicated parts to get us across the finish line. Our attorney is now our friend and will be connected to our family always.”

“We recently added to our family through adoption. We have been through this before and were expecting a similar experience with attorneys. We were pleasantly surprised to say the least. Derek, and his paralegal Pam, were incredible to work with. From the very beginning they were very responsive and so patient with our questions. I would have never guessed this process could feel so peaceful and relaxing, but he made it so.”

“Derek assisted us in the adoption of our daughter. He was incredible to work with from the very beginning. He is genuinely kind, he is quick to respond, so knowledgeable, and made the entire process so smooth. We are so appreciative of the time he took to answer all of our questions and make the entire process worry free. We would recommend him to anyone adopting, he is truly the very best!”
