Unfortunately, disputes over such material can arise after they are created.  Fred has extensive experience in this area, having handled the most high-profile cases in the country addressing attempts by one party to take unilateral control over cryopreserved material.  If you find yourself in this situation, or if you wish to make sure that you have the proper documentation to protect yourself, contact our office.  In addition to handling such disputes, we can also advise and review parentage and consent documentation provided by fertility clinics to avoid problems down the road.
