HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Working with Hellen was very easy, she explains the processes and helps through every step. She worked with me on costs and had allowed me to save money by offering the option to do some things myself but would've handled them herself, if I chose to have her do it, and she explained clearly what was ...needed from me when I completed some of the work to save on costs. She was confident and strong in hearing and very knowledgeable. She was compassionate with my feelings and understands the emotional roller coaster it is while going through this process and reminds you that you are NOT alone. I would highly recommend hiring her for any divorce/separation issues you need. She has one area she focuses on and it is helpful she is strictly focused in that area and not others. She managed her caseload well and everything was done in a timely manner on our end. Additionally, great support staff assisting her! HIGHLY, HIGHLY, recommend!!!

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.

Highly Recommend

Ms. Hernandez was our lawyer in a difficult and complex divorce case, yet throughout the entire divorce process, Ms. Hernandez maintained a high level of ethics and she was always professional, no matter what. We highly recommend Ms. Hernandez as a competent and high-class lawyer. Ms. Hernandez w...as thorough, very well-organized, and she had full knowledge of the law and details of our complex case. Ms. Hernandez promptly notified us when there were changes, deadlines, or new developments regarding our case, and she explained what we needed to know in a detailed and understandable manner. Ms. Hernandez made every effort to contain costs and fees. Ms. Hernandez worked hard and we felt she truly cared about us; she was compassionate, and she understood the intense emotional trauma that so often accompanies the process of divorce.

Knowledge and Professionalism of the Highest Caliber

Hellen recently helped me and my ex through our divorce and I was extremely pleased and thankful that I had her handling things. She is very professional and knowledgeable about the subject and was always good to be honest and prepare me for what to expect/not expect. There was a mix-up regarding t...he divorce papers at the court (not her fault) and she was very expeditious in getting papers back to the court to avoid further delays; she hand-delivered them to the court the very next day. She was also very responsive to questions and in contacting me with updates as they became available. This was my first time hiring a lawyer and I was also concerned about getting gouged but I never felt that way with Hellen. She was always very up-front and transparent about costs and was also cognizant and respectful of my financial situation. She made the divorce process as painless as possible and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of help getting through this difficult and sometimes complicated process. Thank you Hellen!
