Great professional and very caring lawyer

I have engaged Helena Trachtenberg and her office to be my representative in one of family related issues. Helena helped me to get an understanding of the whole process, always available to answer all of my questions with very thorough feedback. Her advice was always suitable and communicated very cl...early and easy to understand, that made the whole process effective and efficient. Helena came across not only as a great professional but also as a truly caring and intelligent lawyer! I am very grateful for the support and highly recommend Helena to anyone seeking a legal counsel. Kind Regards, Mariya

TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME

Took tons of money and there's no result, literary ignoring my phone calls, they are never in the office ,I just keep receiving statements and balances , that don't do their job, no advice, nothing, at least do you job if you are getting compensated.

Exceptional Legal Support and Compassionate Service

I am beyond grateful for the incredible support I received from Helena Trachtenberg and her entire team during one of the most challenging times in my life. From the very beginning, Helena was not only a skilled and knowledgeable professional but also incredibly compassionate, making me feel suppor...ted every step of the way. Her attention to detail and dedication to my case was evident in every conversation, and I always felt well-informed about my options. Helena and her team were prompt, responsive, and truly listened to my concerns, ensuring that I felt heard and respected. The legal process was smooth and efficient thanks to their expertise, and I am so thankful for the way they handled everything with the utmost professionalism and care. They made what could have been a difficult and overwhelming process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Cooper Trachtenberg Law Group to anyone who is looking for a divorce lawyer who is not only brilliant in the legal realm but also genuinely cares about their clients. I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Thank you again for everything!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
