Laurie Goldheim received a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University and a Juris Doctor from Boston University School of Law. Laurie\u2019s work as an ART and adoption attorney is much more than just a career – it is a core part of who she is as a person.

She provides not only legal but also emotional support and guidance to all of her clients to help them through their unique family building process. Each journey is of the utmost importance to her. Laurie is always available to respond to your questions and concerns. Being an adoption and ART attorney is, to her, rewarding, meaningful, and fulfilling.<\/p>\n
