Do not hire hrt

I hired this attorney to represent me in a family law matter and was very disappointed with the experience. From the beginning, communication was poor—emails and calls often went unanswered for days. Important details of my case were overlooked, and I had to repeatedly remind her about deadlines and ...documents that needed to be filed. I did not feel that she advocated for me effectively, and I often felt like I was handling the case on my own. I expected professional guidance and support, but unfortunately, that was not my experience. I would not hire her again.

Amazing lawyer

Helena went above and beyond for my case, she is a brilliant lawyer! I am very grateful for her professionalism, passion and dedication throughout my divorce. She helped me understand the entire process and what my likely outcomes were. Without hesitation I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who ne...eds legal support. I could not be happier with my decision to have Helena represent me!

Great lawyer

Helena is truly the best in her field. She is responsive, direct and straight to the point and she get's the job done in the best possible way. My ex didn't want to respond on divorce until I hired Helena and she did what was needed to make him respond. Btw he was unpleasantly surprised when he found... out who I'm working with because Helena is known for winning difficult cases. Overall, I'm very happy I hired Helena for my case and I would suggest her to anyone who has to go through divorce.

An Excellent family lawyer

I would like to thank Helena Farber from the bottom of my heart for the great job she has done with my case. I had hired Helena to lead my divorce process. It was a complicated international case. She was very attentive and considerate to me. The way she communicated with me through emails was very c...lear, she had provided me with instructions to follow step by step to get success. I felt her sincere empathy that supported me during all the struggles. She briefly and clearly responded to my husband's claims, thus relieving me of unpleasant disputes with him. She explained my options and answered clearly to all my questions and suggested services for preparation documents that were needed. Helena was on top of the case at all times, she took care of all the details in very efficient and timely manner. I would gladly recommend Helena Farber as a divorce attorney for those who want to get desired result knowing they are protected by a professional attorney and that their case is being taken care of in the shortest terms possible!
