Testimonials
Trusted by Families Across North Carolina
Families come to Village Law Group during some of life's most important moments. We're honored to walk alongside them and grateful for the trust they place in our team. Here's what some of our clients have shared about their experience working with us.
Jennifer and her staff were absolutely wonderful to work with through the adoption of our son. We are a LGBTQ+ couple who felt it necessary for the non birthing parent to legally adopt our child (sad but safe), and Village Law Group made the process seamless.

An Advocate, Ally, and Exceptional Lawyer. We are incredibly grateful to Jennifer and her team for guiding us through the adoption process of our daughter. As a same-sex couple, the legal system doesn’t always reflect the reality of our family.

Wonderful experience. Cannot recommend enough, especially for second / lgbt parent adoption. Village Law was recommended to us, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. They were very communicative and gave very clear information about the paperwork.

I am a first time gestational carrier. Working with this law group (Jennifer especially) has been a great experience. I have felt so informed and protected throughout this process so far. She asked me questions I would not have even thought of.

After reaching out to over 20 family law firms, Amy and Jennifer at Village Law Group were a breath of fresh air. Amy was quick to respond to my submission form on their website requesting to speak with an attorney.

Our experience with Jennifer and her team could not have been easier. They were quick, efficient, and extremely kind and attentive throughout the process. Being new to surrogacy they helped walk us through each step, were transparent on pricing.

When we began our gestational surrogacy journey, we were recommended Village Law Group and we could not have been happier. The entire operation from top to bottom is top notch. There was a rigorous screening service to find surrogates.

My family and I recently worked with Jennifer Tharrington and the Village Law Group to ensure we have the right protections in place to take care of our family. While it is unfortunate we have to take these steps, working with them was reassuring.

My husband and I used Jennifer Tharrington to draft our surrogacy agreement with our gestational carrier in North Carolina. We also used her to establish our Pre-Birth Order. Being from New York, we found Jennifer to be extremely knowledgeable.

Starting a family, while beautiful, can often be messy and stressful in the early stages. Now take that stress and amplify it by throwing in a combination of donor eggs and a gestational carrier...overwhelming right? Not at all at Village Law Group.

I utilized Village Law Group’s services to secure my step-parent/second parent adoption for my daughter. I highly recommend this law firm to any LGBTQ family seeking to do the same. Jennifer Tharrington and Amy Scoville were amazing, patient, and professional!
Trish O'Malley

I cannot say enough about the experience we’ve had with Jennifer Tharrington and her team. After a very negative experience with another attorney in the area, Jennifer was empathetic, helpful and efficient. She knew exactly how important our adoption was.

Jen and Scott are an amazing duo! No one *wants* to have a lawyer, but if you do and the reason is within their scope, I would definitely recommend them. I immediately felt welcomed in their presence. They were very kind.
