In San Diego Gay & Lesbian News, Windy City Times, Gay Today.com, Outword Magazine and Sacramento Bee articles, Lowenstein Sandler is highlighted for successfully representing a gay interracial couple in a custody suit of their twin daughters. The girls were born via an anonymous egg donor and carried by the non-biological father's sister, who later challenged the fathers' right to primary custody. On December 13, the court granted the biological father sole legal and physical custody of the couple’s daughters, emphasizing the importance of their commitment to their children’s well-being and their values of tolerance and inclusion.,
