Helena L Trachtenberg

We hired Helena to complete the modification of a marital agreement that had inadvertently been preventing our completing our estate plan. Helena met with us and identified the steps we needed to take, then completed the process for us, which included going before family court in Illinois. Each ste...p of the way, she explained what we needed to do and why, then she and her office completed the task until we achieved our desired outcome. We had a very pleasant experience working with this kind and competent attorney.

I have had a couple of divorce attorneys over the past decade from my initial divorce to dealing with complex custody and financial issues that arose after. I do not need to look any further if I should require assistance again. Helena was so professional, responsive and thorough. I really felt li...ke she had an in-depth understanding of the many complex issues I was facing. Additionally she is very compassionate and helped me maintain perspective in emotionally charged situations.

I’ve retained Helena for several ongoing joint custody issues. She always responds quickly, is very thorough in understanding the past issues & court orders and always does her best to come to fair & quick resolution. In my experience, she goes above & beyond most lawyers to listen and understand the... impacts disagreements are having on all parties (including my child, ex and myself) before making her recommendations. Overall, I highly recommend Helena for joint parental conflict matters.

This is a great office to work with. I sought representation for my divorce. My representative was Helena, who walked me through the process, told me what to expect and what to be mindful of, and helped make sure my interests were protected while we worked on an amicable settlement. Greatly recommend...!

Helena was helping me with my custody and child support case and she was nothing but wonderful. Very motivating and knowledgeable. She helped me overcome every horrible hurdle that my ex was throwing at me, and through her thorough knowledge of current family laws she was able to negotiate a very agr...eeable custody agreement and a decent child support sum for me. I will highly recommend her to anybody who's in a seemingly hopeless legal situation. Thank you Helena!
