Pioneering Reproductive Law with Melissa B. Brisman
In this enlightening episode of Friends with Fertility, we are joined by Melissa B. Brisman, Esq., a trailblazing attorney and expert in reproductive law. Melissa’s incredible journey began in 1996 when she became her own first client, helping her and her husband become parents through gestational surrogacy. Since then, Melissa has pioneered legal breakthroughs, including landmark court rulings that allowed genetic parents to be placed on birth certificates, set precedents for same-sex couples, and contributed to the creation of surrogacy laws in states like New Jersey and Maine.
