    I am writing this client review for Helene Dreyer Koch to share with you how happy I was with the legal services that I received from Helene and her firm at Roemer & Harnik LLP. I've been working with her now for over 3 years and she has done a very thorough and professional job representing our family trust, doing estate planning and settling a legal dispute without having to go to court. Helene came to me highly recommended by a local divorce attorney and I can see why he referred her to me and my family.

    Helene's work was always done in a timely manner and for a fair price. My whole family has enjoyed working with her and knowing our estate planning decisions have been guided by her. It's a very comforting feeling knowing our wills, trusts and health care directives have all been professionally attended to. Some of these areas can be difficult to take on, but Helene makes it a lot easier to deal with.

    Anyone would be very fortunate to have Helene Dreyer Koch representing their Estate Planning needs!

  10. Probate

    • I recommend Helene Koch.
    • I hired Helene more than 3 years ago.
    • Helene handled my Probate matter.
    • I have previously worked with 6-10 lawyers.

    Helene represented me (I live in Colorado) in a probate situation regarding my father's estate in California.

    My father's family involves multiple marriages, children, step children, and a widow. Emotions had a tendency to trump logic. My father's passing occurred in early 2008 just as the economy began its decline.

    Helene handled this long distance representation with professionalism and class. She was thrust into difficult emotional conflicts and was able to get everyone to work towards the necessary legal conclusion with a minimum of ruffled feathers. She did a fantastic job! I would hire her again and would recommend her to others.

    Ms. Koch handled my late wife's estate matters proficiently, very ably and quickly. I have had experience with many lawyers over the years, and found her to be understanding, efficient and knowledgeable.
    She conducts herself professionally, discretely and pleasantly. She will continue to be my attorney of choice, hands down.
