A great help to me

She is a terrific lawyer. My case was a mess. I tried to represent myself and was completely confused. After my first session with Helene, I felt like I understood the basics of what the issues were the court could look at and what the law was. She was very responsive to my many phone calls and kept ...me well informed at every stage of the process. I am so grateful and my kids are in much better shape because of the advice she gave me and the outcomes she won in court. We even settled the case, even though my husband and I fought about everything in the beginning.

Great Attorney

Helene did a frantastic job representing me. Very knowledgable and once I talked to her she made me feel very comfortable. She settled my case in a very short time. Living in Georgia was hard to find an attorney in Seattle that had my best interest, but Helene represented me so I didn't have to pay t...he expense of traveling to Seattle for my case. A GREAT ATTORNEY!!!!

Client Review

She was an awful lawyer. She charged me $225.00 per hour for 'legal services' consisting of her personal advice/opinions and self righteousness. She advised me that I needed therapy. She even drove me to the bank in her car so that I could withdraw $855.00 in cash for her. She never even gave me ...a receipt and counted the money right then and there. She never answered my questions and gave me advice on child rearing and marital counseling. When I e-mailed her requesting even just a receipt, she roundly ignored me. There was no consultation, just a barrage of personal opinions and constant interruptions consisting of paralegals rushing in to make her appear 'important' and busy.
