Helen Eileen Casale

I hired Helen for a very contentious divorce in which my ex first refused to move out and then delayed relentlessly at every opportunity. Helen was somewhat helpful in getting my ex out of the house, but was otherwise neglectful and harmful to my case overall. Once my ex moved out, she left me in a p...osition where I was paying unaffordable support payments that put me in a completely powerless position to negotiate. She would disappear and relegate me to her associate. When it finally came time to negotiate, she recommended I offer MORE than was asked. I ended up ignoring her advice. I would not ever use her services again and would not recommend her to others.

OK.... STOP RIGHT HERE AND take a few minutes to read this if you need a family law attorney because.... HELEN IS INCREDIBLE! Helen is a very committed and passionate lawyer, she will fight for you with all she has, believe me! Helen is professional, knowledgeable, prompt with replies and a class act.... She cares about her clients and is objective, always informing or having her paralegal, Stephanie Dise, who is also ACES, informing her clients of various solutions and next steps while remaining supportive and caring. She works hard for her clients and their families.The most confident and educated representation I have ever experienced! DO NOT wait another minute guessing or loosing sleep!! Put your mind at ease knowing this team of aggressive, educated , and confident lawyers has your back!! This was beyond my best expectation. I highly recommend Helen Casale and the others in this firm. I am forever grateful to her. She's the BEST and her staff is excellent too :)

Consulted and hired Helen for a custody/relocation case. Other parent had 60% custody, I had 40% per week. Other parent attempting to move 1,200 miles away. My case was in front of very difficult Judge who Helen had not been had experience with. At the court date, Helen was at the mercy o...f the judge's pre-trial opinion for a settlement, unfortunately. I was frustrated overall with this poor settlement and Helen took it personally. This ultimately led to a 20-minute 'clash' between client and attorney. I asked Helen to request a few terms that would benefit me and my child. She changed 1 or 2 items that benefited me and returned with a printed unsigned settlement. I did ask for additional terms, but Helen was reluctant to even ask the Judge. The most important part of this review is that Helen suggested she would walk out and that I find a new lawyer. I believe this to be unprofessional. There were times Helen displayed legitimate knowledge of an experienced attorney. I would have enjoyed to see her in a trial, however, this Judge made it difficult for all clients and attorneys.

Helen was horrible to me and sold out my kid. My ex has a terminal illness, but Helen refused to negotiate in the divorce for my ex to provide for child support after her death. My ex spent down her retirement on Helen's watch during the divorce and was uninsurable due to her incurable cancer. When ...I finally changed attorneys, it didn't take more than a phone consult for him to help me understand the law and how Helen had ignored my child's best interest. This was on top of Helen treating me like dirt. I expected her to fight for me, not against me when I hired her. I wish I had never met her.

I hired Helen a few years back to help with a custody and support issues. My ex-husband was a police officer and I felt unprotected and alone—until I hired Helen. Not only did she fight for me in getting child support and full custody, she gave me valuable advice that allowed me to see my ex for what... he was. Now, my kids are graduating college, I also was able to go back to school and get advanced degrees since I had the monetary support for my kids. We are definitely a success story!! Thanks, Helen!
