Go-to for Appeals

Helen represented me at the Court of Appeals and the Oregon Supreme Court. Although we do not yet know the outcome, Helen was always very thorough and prepared. I was very, very satisfied with the quality of expertise and support she provided.

Helen Tompkins - an excellent attorney

Helen's professional attitude and caring personality have been really helpful over the past years. She has represented me in trustee matters and really knows her stuff. She responds quickly and takes personal interest in the matters before her. I count her as a friend as well as a great attorney.

Personable and Professional

Outstanding Appeal Lawyer

Helen is bright and very efficient. I would recommend her for any matter she would choose to handle. I used Helen to sort out a domestic relations appeal that was very complicated and had been muddled up by several other prior lawyers. She obtained a favorable ruling that did not cost an arm and... a leg. (They system took too long, but that was not her fault.) In the 4 years the matter took, Helen kept me informed and was always on task. Again, I recommend her highly and would be happy to talk with anyone who wanted further information on my experience with her.

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.
