Divorce
Helene and Alice are the best, I had a difficult divorce, and due to my health it had to be handled remotely, they were consistently patient with my questions, just made me feel they would get me through it, and they did.

Most Ethical Lawyer
Helene, by far is one of the most honest lawyers I could have hired. She went to battle for me for a year. When it came time for her to put her personal feelings aside, she did and protected me before herself. I am indebted to her and I could not be happier with the outcome.

The Absolute Best
I've dealt with many attorneys in my life that just tell you what you want to hear. Then after you hire them there story changes little by little. This was not the case when I met and hired Helene. From the beginning she was honest with me and told me what she can do for me and what she maybe could ...

Great attorney. Recommend highly.
Helene turned out to be a very competent, very engaged attorney. She handled my awful, messy divorce, gave what turned out to be very good advice and helped minimize the drama. She was genuinely committed to the best interest of my kids. I can't say enough good about the work she did for me!

Helene Gay Parker's Lawyer Endorsements
"Helene is an excellent advocate for her clients! She is thorough, detailed, and hard-working. I endorse this lawyer."
"Helene has mediated several family law cases for me, and she is just wonderful. First, Alice in her office is so easy to work with. Every time I've called and needed dates, she's made something happen. She is friendly and funny and will brighten your day. Helene has an ability to help the parties see past the emotion that has brought them to the situation they're in. She has very real, very frank conversation with both sides, and helps them evaluate their best outcomes, their worst outcomes, and their realistic outcomes. More importantly, Helene has an incredible ability to come up with creative solutions. I look forward to speaking with Helene, because I know when I'm stuck on a problem, I can throw it to her and she will have a workable solution I have not thought of. She is very specific in her language choice, to the benefit of the parties, and I appreciate that about her. Most importantly, I get very positive feedback from my clients about working with her."
"Helene is a very good family lawyer. She is knowledgeable, prepared, and indefatigable in her advocacy for her clients. I have come to know, respect and like her by virtue of the cases we've had where we've been opposed to one another. She is an attorney who has my respect and I can endorse her without qualification."
"I have know Helene many years and have found her to be a zealous advocate for her client's and at the same time is able to bring reason and good judgment to the resolution of family law matters. I do not hesitate to endorse her!"
