I would use her again

Helene helped me with two custody cases and she might not always tell you what you want to hear. That is what lawyers are supposed to do. They are supposed to tell you what the other side's argument will be and what you need to do to win. She always had the children’s best interest as the number ...one priority. She is a child advocate and judges definitely respond to that. We won both times hands down.

Extremely competent and motiviated lawyer who genuinely cares about her clients.

Helene has been representing our family for years and is the best family law attorney I have ever worked with. She helped us with custody issues that ensured the safety and security of my two young nephews. If she hadn't been there for us these loving brothers likely would have been separated and p...laced into the instable homes of their irresponsible fathers. I also went through a very painful divorce almost 2 years ago and Helene represented me professionally and supported me emotionally through the whole experience; she even followed up to see how I was doing after it was over. My ex-wife would have seen me penniless and on the streets, if she had her way; but Helene made sure we had fair and equitable dissolution which balanced my best interest with reasonable concessions to my ex-wife In short; if you want the best representation you can get in family court coupled with sensitivity and compassion, then Helene is the attorney for you.
