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!

Very Professional

Helena represented me in a domestic relations case as well as a civil case involving multiple court appearances. The things that stood out to me about Helena were her professionalism and her great courtroom demeanor. Like her colleague, Martin Delaney, Helena always meets filing deadlines, re...turns phone calls within the day, even if its after hours, and is always on time to court appearances. Helena is friendly and cordial, but will not hesitate to ask the Judge to decide a matter if faced with unreasonable, rude, or bullying opposing counsel. Helena is great at providing no outward response in the courtroom to questions, comments, and rulings, but definitely lets you know how she feels away from the courtroom. I would highly recommend Helena to anyone seeking top notch family law assistance.

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.
