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!

Отличный результат и сэкономленные десятки тысяч долларов

Елена не просто хороший адвокат. Она адвокат, который понимает психологию развода, владеет тактикой и стратегией переговоров для этой категории дел. Я получил развод на таких условиях о которых я даже и не мечтал: без алиментов бывшей жене, без алиментов на ребенка. Елена тут превзошла мои самые смел...ые ожидания. При этом я сам без пяти минут адвокат заканчивающий юридический факультет и примерно понимаю, как работает развод в США. Я решил послушать ее (отказавшись от моего первоначального видения) и попробовать получить наилучшие условия развода – все что Елена предсказал как возможный результат – ВСЕ было получено по соглашению о расторжении брака. Елена работает очень быстро в отличии от многих адвокатов, у которых я работал в качестве сотрудника в США. Все было подано в суд без каких-либо задержек. Елена быстро отвечает на сообщения и емэйлы. Ни разу она не перенесла назначенный звонок. В общем могу рекомендовать Елену как адвоката по разводам. Еще мне было приятно общаться с Еленой, она дает советы в ненавязчивой форме, что видимо наилучший вариант для людей в непростом эмоциональном состоянии.

Highly recommend!!!!

Me. Farber is an excellent attorney that really understands the needs of her clients. She fought tooth and nail on my behalf and gave me invaluable advice along the way. Many attorneys in this industry are more concerned with billable hours, but she not only didn’t do that to me, she did her best to ...keep the opposing counsel from doing it as well. She truly cared about what’s best for me. Highly recommend!!!
