Excellent!
Helene and Alice helped me through an awful and drawn out custody case. They are stern and direct but 100% know what they are doing. Some requests seemed like overkill, but in hind sight were necessary and a testament to their thoroughness on cases. No stone unturned and well prepared. I highly recom...

Excellent Representation
We were not referred to Helene, but read reviews online and are so glad we chose her. We were located out of state looking to modify visitation. What was once a simple modification went to full-blown litigation and Helene was there for our family every step of the way. She was realistic and to-the-po...

EXCELLENT SERVICES!!!!
Very professional and knowledgable towards my needs. I had worked with several other attorneys in regards to my case and Helene Parker was the first attorney that not only gladly took the case, she was the first attorney that seemed to have any idea of how to go about accomplishing my needs.
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!"
