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.

Best Attorney in the Business!

I had a seemingly easy case that turned into something much more. I was dealing with a very difficult ex-husband who did not cooperate at any time in the process. My case took over two and a half years, and through it all, Hellen Hernandez was there for me every step of the way. She was always prompt... with her responses (within 24 hours of my request), she offered solid advice, and all of her filings were detailed and accurate. She never wavered in her support for me and for my children. Her preparation for hearings and settlement conference is, in my opinion, unmatched. Hellen made sure to be prepared for any possibility that could occur. Hellen always did her homework. She knew the case law that would best support whatever opposition we were facing, and that paid off with our rulings. Hellen was also emotionally supportive. There were a number of times when I felt like giving up, or I felt that the odds were against me, but through it all she was always there, encouraging me and offering advice that turned out to be invaluable. From day one to the very last day, Hellen was a true consummate professional. Her work ethic never wavered from the excellence she portrayed to me from the day I walked into her office. I could not have asked for a better attorney to have in my corner.

2017 Divorce/Custody case

I hired Hellen Hernandez initially to review and change some ambiguous orders from a divorce and custody case I had. When i was going through my divorce/custody I had hired someone that was pretty inexpensive since i didn't have a lot of money, nor did i know a lot about hiring a professional. I u...nfortunately did not have a good experience and now 2 years later am suffering from some mistakes that were made. Hellen was very professional and warm, and told me exactly what we could do/ask for, and what we could not. She was also honest in every step of the way in her billing, the legal process, and what she felt might happen. This was so refreshing! I knew where my case stood the entire time. I also appreciated the fact I was given options and that multiple decisions were given. She answered all my calls and emails promptly and even stayed late once so i could come in after work. Her dedication to her clients and her work shows! I also learned that when it comes to legal help trust your gut, ask questions, be honest in what you want, and understand that sometime you get what you pay for. So start off with someone great like Hellen.

Child custody case

Hellen recently helped me though a child custody case where my sons mom just didn't want to agree to ANYTHING. Hellen took the time to answer all my questions and prepare me for the upcoming events. She took care of all the confusing paper work and had everything filed correctly and within the correc...t timelines. There were NO slip ups of any kind. She was recommended to me by a friend and I would recommend her to any of my friends going thru a family situation 100%. I hope I never have to go thru this again, but if I do I know who I am calling. Thank you Hellen for all that you do.
