I would highly recommend Tanya and her firm for legal representation in divorce matters. Tanya exhibits compassion and concern during what is a tumultuous time and she remains steadfast in her desire to achieve the best outcome for her client. Her honesty and trustworthiness combined with her knowled...ge of divorce law is what propels her beyond the "average" divorce attorney. Should the need arise again, I would contact her immediately for legal consultation.

I went through two attorneys in over a year trying to get a divorce in a somewhat complicated situation involving someone institutionalized in New Jersey. Though we were originally married in New York, when I realized that the NY judge was unable or unwilling to help with the matter, I decided to se...e about pursuing the matter in NJ. Tanya and her team spoke with me initially, then took on the research of my situation to see if it looked like they could help. A divorce that looked to me like it would never happen was finalized in months. The team was very communicative, straightforward, knowledgeable and professional during the entire process. Additionally, when it came time to meet with the judge, the judge knew and respected my attorney. Their rapport certainly went a long way in helping the finalization of the divorce that day. I would highly recommend this group.

Tanya was very caring when I had questions she always got back to me an I had alot of question she went to the court house with me an my husband explained everything what would happen even after we where done with my case she still would answer my questions an what really is great about her was ev...erthing was done quickly and you understand an her staff is just as helpful if anyone asked me for a lawyer I would send them to tanya hefland an if I needed her again for anything else I would hire her she was great with my bankruptcy .

I recently went through the divorce process over a very difficult 2 year period. Without question it was the most difficult and trying times of my life emotionally, physically and of course financially. You spend years building up a life and family together with a person and then the divorce proces...s requires you to pull it all apart and somehow divide it equally. It's a huge understatement to say it's a daunting task which is realistically not all that feasible without going through a lot of emotional peaks and valleys. I hired Tanya Helfand from the Helfand Group after working with another lawyer for approximately 6 months. I was dissatisfied with my previous lawyer because I didn't feel like he and I connected on what we were looking to accomplish. Ms. Helfand was very good at quickly getting up to speed on my case and guiding me through the entire divorce process. Throughout, Ms. Helfand helped keep me balanced and grounded to focus on the outcomes and trying to remove the emotion from the process as much as possible. She had no issue with telling me when she thought I was being unreasonable and helped me understand the options and alternatives I was faced with across all various areas, including financial assets, property, IRA's, and most importantly custody of our children. Ms. Helfand helped ensure that the interests of our children always kept in high consideration. Although I may not have appreciated her as much at the time, because it was such a painful process, I truly appreciate having Ms. Helfand and her team as my lawyers. I feel like I had a partner who worked to understand what was important for me and my children both short and long term and helped us arrive at a place where we could start the next chapter in our lives.

Tanya along with her assistant were knowledgeable regarding the steps of the process. Tanya along with her assistant Ann Marie reminded me that sometimes people go through tough financial times and that I was not an idiot for being in the situation that I was in. The office staff made all necessary ...photocopies so basically my legal fees included everything.
