Legal Services by a Nurse-Midwife (hospital births) Attorney
I am an actively-licensed California RN, a Yale-prepared Certified Nurse-Midwife, and a previous member of medical staffs in large teaching and small rural hospitals. I owned and operated a women’s health care practice providing obstetric and gynecologic care. I am also a California-licensed attorney. I practiced “big law” with a major international firm headquartered in Washington DC. You can read more about Deborah Acker’s background.
Our Mission to Advocate for Families and “ART” Participants
Our firm’s mission is to advocate for individuals, couples, and entities involved in family formation/assisted reproductive technologies (“ART”) from a broad perspective; providing education, guidance, and excellent legal service at a fair price in a compassionate atmosphere based upon absolute integrity. You can read more about our approach to our practice.
We hope you enjoy our site. We have an active family formation blog and continue to gather reproductive legal resources that are hopefully of use to our visitors. Our pro bono efforts support organizations doing great work for animals.
