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

Excellent Divorce lawyer

Helena Trachtenberg is an outstanding divorce attorney who truly goes above and beyond for her clients. During one of the most challenging periods of my life, Helena was a steady and reassuring presence. Her expertise in family law is evident, but what really impressed me was her ability to navigate ...the emotional complexities of my case with sensitivity and care. Helena is a fierce advocate, but she also understands the importance of finding amicable solutions where possible. She was always well-prepared, thorough, and incredibly organized. I never felt like just another case; Helena made me feel heard and prioritized, always taking the time to explain my options and the potential outcomes of each decision. Her professionalism, combined with her compassion, made a difficult process much more manageable. Thanks to Helena, I was able to achieve a fair settlement that protected my interests and allowed me to move forward with my life. If you need a divorce lawyer who is both highly skilled and genuinely cares about your well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Helena Trachtenberg.

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.

Top of her class- high conflict divorce with minors.

I Interviewed a few firms in the area before choosing Helena and her team. Once I spoke with her I knew She understood the challenges and worries I had. As a parent, as a female- I just Knew. She’s sharp, is well connected and most importantly, she’s highly recognized for her ethic and I would Recomm...end her to anyone seeking legal advice and help. Her staff is reliable and consistent, and she expressly helped with anything and everything my kids and I needed during the case. I felt important and in Highly capable hands. Thank you for everything, Helena!! You truly know how to dot the i’s and cross your t’s. The work you did for my kids and will live on and I cannot thank you enough for the peace we’ve been able to reach.

Diligent and Caring

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.
