Honest, Thorough & Empathetic

Consulted Helena about my difficult marital situation. She analyzed the situation very quickly and was honest & forthright about the viability of pursuing a legal option & clearly explained the various scenarios that can play out in the legal process despite it being the initial consultation. She see...med quite thorough. competent, empathetic & practical. I would definitely feel comfortable in availing her services.

Wonderful lawyer!

Helena made my life so much easier through the whole very stressful process. She was knowledgeable and helpful and eased my mind that everything was going to get taken care of, and that I was in good hands. She was on top of everything and was always there to answer my questions. Everyone in her offi...ce was also very helpful and kind. I would 100% recommend her!

Helena Trachtenberg: a force to be reckoned with.

Helena Trachtenberg is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. She knew my case inside and out and fought for ever detail I needed to rebuild my life after a long and messy divorce.

Professionalism in Divorce at its Best!

I arrived to Helen after communication with a couple other attorneys in the area. She was by far the best and I knew it from the first conversation we had. I had a tight timeline on my case and she was on it immediately with quick response and advise. Her confidence and professionalism really made th...e difference in my case. She helps you to understand your options and why you should or should not do something in your case and the reasons why. I highly recommend her for anyone going through a divorce case or family law in general.

Avvo Rating

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.
