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.

Joel is great!!

He was concerned with keeping my family in tact through the difficult time of divorce. He was also very knowledgeable and responsive. I would recommend he to anyone!

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.
