Smart, professional

I hired Hellen for my divorce case, and I’m incredibly grateful I did. She is a sharp, intelligent, and tenacious attorney who truly fought for me every step of the way. Despite the other party being extremely difficult to negotiate with, Hellen remained focused and persistent, ultimately helping me ...finalize my divorce within the two-year timeframe. Her professionalism and dedication made a stressful process feel manageable. She was always clear in her communication, strategic in her approach, and genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for me. I’m very happy with her service and will continue to rely on her for my ongoing custody matters. If you’re looking for someone who will advocate fiercely and thoughtfully for you, don’t hesitate to hire Hellen. I’m so thankful she was referred to me—she’s an amazing attorney.

Excellent Bilingual Divorce Attorney In The Sacramento Area.

Ms. Hernandez and her team were always very professional and so helpful. I don't think I could of found a better attorney to handle my divorce. It was a very long process but Ms. Hernandez was always there to support and guide me every step of the way. I would not hesitate one bit on recommending ...her services for any divorce question you may have. FYI, she is also bilingual herself which now days is a huge plus. Gracias Ms. Hernandez

Forever Grateful

Hellen was recommended to me as someone who has experience working with clients going through a challenging divorce. I met her at a very difficult time in my life. From the first moment I met with Hellen at my initial consultation to the time she wrapped up my divorce almost two years later, she brou...ght forth that experience and more. She was patient, compassionate, and supportive as I dealt with the emotions of the divorce process. She was professional, calm, and knowledgeable of the law throughout. Her excellent communication skills and ability to negotiate effectively in a difficult divorce reassured me and allowed me the ability to take back my life and move forward. I am forever grateful.

Highly recommend!

My ex-husband and I went through mediation for our divorce, and Hellen was my consulting attorney. Hellen was an exceptional attorney to work with, and I would highly recommend her. Hellen did a fantastic job guiding me through the process, making sure I understood relevant terminology (ex: community... property vs. separate property), and making sure I knew what I was legally entitled to. All of this was important for enabling me to show up to mediation appointments prepared and confident. Hellen spent time to really know and understand my specific case, so she was able to advise me on all aspects of it. She and her staff were also accurate on all documents. Getting divorced is emotional and exhausting, and the legal side of it can be quite confusing and intimidating. Having someone like Hellen on your team to navigate you through the process is absolutely invaluable.
