Old Client

Loretta made a absolutely horrible time in mine and my childrens life tolerable. She was a great attorney and an exceptionable person.

Lawyer Recommendation

I was recently involved in a very grueling custody battle where my ex was very bitter and uncooperative. In such a miserable situation, I found comfort that I had such a knowledgeable, trust worthy, sympathetic attorney. She is very dependable and devoted, which was especially noticed that when n...ecessary, she took time out of her of personal like to make sure we were as much prepared as possible. She made me feel like I wasn’t just another client and that my situation was important. To the best of her ability, I could always count on her to be upfront and honest with where things stood and was very informative regarding the entire process. I was very happy that in the end, we reached an outcome that was best for everyone, especially my son. I would highly recommend Lorretta Helfrich to anyone needing legal council involving family law.

Posted by Tanya | June 07, 2010 | Child Custody

Child custody/ Visitation

I have know Loretta Helfrich for the last 9 ½ years. She has been my legal counsel for child custody and child visitation issues. At all times I have found her to be dependable, reliable, and courteous. Since the first day that I met with her she is always willing to listen to what the issue is ...and makes suggestions on how to get resolution as quickly as possible. She will, when necessary, provide responses during her personal time off. This is just one of many examples of how she responds to her clients. I feel these attributes demonstrate someone with an exceptional character. There should be no hesitation with considering her for your legal counsel.

"I endorse this lawyer. With hundreds of published answers to consumer questions, several extremely well written and highly accurate Legal Guides to her credit, the happy reviews by clients, the endorsement and recommendation of other attorneys, and a web site that helps people understand Domestic Relations Law, it should be pretty easy for any consumer to see what attorneys like me see about attorney Helfrich. She knows the law extremely well and cares deeply about making sure her clients understand their legal rights and obligations and that they get accurate and good advice. If you have a question about divorce, support, or separation, and her office is anywhere near you, then she is your answer. I highly recommend her to you."
