Surrogacy Lawyer Gold Coast
Sarah Jefford is a surrogacy lawyer, assisting people on the Gold Coast and across Australia. Sarah is the only lawyer in Australia practising exclusively in fertility, surrogacy and donor conception law. A third of Sarah’s clients live in Queensland, and she practices across all states from her home in Melbourne. Sarah has been a surrogacy lawyer for many surrogacy arrangements in Brisbane, Ipswich and North Lakes, Far North Queensland and across Queensland.
