Nina Macfadden Helwig

Mrs.Helwig was the BIA for my younger sister about 2-3 years ago throughout the ongoing case for custodial modification between my father and his ex-wife. When I met with Mrs.Helwig, she was very friendly, and even more, she was very compassionate to the situation and my sister. When she met with my ...family, she showed real interest in getting to know each individual member, and asked questions that revolved around the stability of our household and my sister. She never once brought up the opposing party, or her opinion on that side of the case. She was not biased at all, and only had interest in what was important - my sister. Rather than engaging in friendly, meaningless conversation, she got down to the nitty gritty, and did her job. When the case turned out in my father's favor, his ex-wife was very spiteful and blamed Mrs.Helwig, calling her "unprofessional and biased". However, that is not truthful, and quite frankly she acted out as a "sore loser". As someone who was not directly involved in the case, but as a mere outsider who has been in both homes, I can honestly say that Mrs.Helwig did her job, and she did it well. PSA to those who write bad reviews because the case did not turn out in their favor: find something better to do with your time!!!

Nina Helwig was appointed by the court when I was going through a terrible custody battle over my two sons. My ex-wife and I had recently gone through a messy divorce in which neither of us were really blameless. Nina entered the case with a completely open mind. She was very respectful and did no...t take sides. Basically, she tried to determine the best situation for our kids. She interviewed everyone in the family as well as relevant friends and school officials. I did not completely win the case, but I think her recommendations were very fair and sensible for my kids.

Over 2 years ago my husband and I received full guardianship of our nephew from his mother who has severe mental health and drug addiction problems; 6 moths ago his mother filed to terminate the guardianship with the courts. Needless to say my husband and I where both scared and knew we needed a good... attorney to represent us and help us protect the best interest of our nephew. Finding Nina was such a blessing. I knew from the moment we spoke she was the attorney for us. I felt like I had known her for years and I had never met her before. Nina was able to have the motion to terminate dismissed two times (the mother filed a 2nd time after 1st dismissal). It is rare to find an lawyer who truly cares about their clients and the law. Nina exudes professionalism and compassion for the case and her clients. I could spend an entire day writing out how much I love Nina and what a gifted Attorney she is, but there is not enough space her to do that. Finding people like Nina in such a cruel, selfish and greedy world is rare. I believe that things happen for a reason and that people are placed in our lives for a purpose. Nina has changed my view on our legal system by showing me there are still great Lawyers out there who actually are in it because they care about the law and about the people. There are not enough stars in the world for me to give Nina. She is and will always be the #1 lawyer and in my personal opinion should receive an award for her dedication and compassion to the law and her clients. If you need a family law attorney do not pass up the opportunity to have Maryland's Best attorney represent you. Contact Nina Today and see for yourself :)

I found Nina Helwig to be an articulate and considerate best interest attorney for my children. Despite the outcome of my custody trial, I believe my children’s best interest were first and foremost in Nina’s delivery to the court. Her findings and recommendations were impartial, and she drew her con...clusions based on facts ascertained during her numerous interviews of myself and the other parent, school officials, and other parties who are actively involved with my children’s day-to-day. Despite not gaining custody as I had desired, I believe Nina did an excellent job and really believe she is an advocate for the child (children), and is not a representative for either parent’s interest.

Nina was a blessing to us during my custody battle in America in 2011. Nina was recommended by the court as Best Interest Attorney to my two children and rescued the children from their violent father and his unaccommodating wife. Nina came on board at the dying moments of the case, when I had alm...ost lost hope and was about to head back to England, without my two children. She came and changed all that for the children and myself with her incredible work. Nina was quite thorough with the way she handled the case. She quickly made things go easier than we had anticipated with her thoughtful guidance and experience and this was truly appreciated. Beyond legal advice, she showed great care as a human being, listened to the children, took them out for lunch and became a friend to them. A friend they could trust and speak to, as they were so fearful to speak to dad and his wife who forbade them from speaking to anyone else, including myself, their mother. Nina, you were a blessing and joy to work with and I can’t imagine what we would have done without your recommendations and presentation in the Child Custody case. Nina, I want to thank you again for doing a great job representing my children. We’re so grateful to you and look where we are now – we’re on the other side! I feel like I have gotten to know you fairly well; as have my children. It has been emotionally stressful for all of us, but we have remained strong. You were incredibly supportive and now, it is unto another stage of our lives; a much more positive one. Thank you so much, again!
