Divorce and Separation 60%

If you are facing a divorce, an experienced attorney is not an option. It is a requirement. Divorce can be extremely stressful and confusing. My clients often tell me that hiring the right attorney was the best decision they made because it allowed them to focus on their children or their day-to-day lives without the burden of scheduling court hearings and filing motions, and meeting deadlines. I can help you through the process. Call today for a free consultation. (616) 965-1040.

Top Notch Lawyer

I would highly recommend Mr. Helder for your attorney needs, he is very knowledgeable, very thorough and also very caring with his clients. His attention to detail is excellent, his professionalism is shown in his work. He took over my case after some disappointments with another attorney and he pick...ed up the pieces of what was not being done on my behalf, I was very satisfied with the results that Mr. Helder achieved for me.

An attorney who actually cares.

I was referred to Mr.Helder by an old college pal of his whom works with me. Not only was he attentive and dedicated to my case, he fought for my rights like they were his own. Mr.Helder is a compassionate and genuine human being, which is refreshing to encounter in the search for counsel. A few firm...s I consulted prior to him made me feel like I was simply just a source of income. He genuinely has a passion for helping humans fight for their rights against a system that all too often has lost it's respect for humanity. I was kept well informed throughout the entire process and Mr. Helder went above and beyond to produce more than satisfactory results for my own legal troubles. I would reccomend him for your own counsel gladly, knowing you'll be in great hands.
