Helena is GAL who helps your child in the first place

Helena Trachtenberg was appointed as GAL to our complicated divorce case. It could not work better. Helena really helped my daughter to protect her best interests in this case with Helena's reasonable and objective approach. Highly recommended as GAL.

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.

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.

Excellent for Parent/Child(ren) Divorce Cases

Helena did a wonderful job being personable, professional and helped me be detailed about my divorce with children. I started the divorce process by myself, however, was stuck satisfying the judge with final paperwork and Helena did a great job ensuring all documents were in order and no stone was le...ft unturned and addressed. I appreciate all of her attention to detail.

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.
