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.
