Family court is a horrible place to end up on the best of days. Helene always had honest answers, never sugar-coated anything, and is a 'good hand in a storm'! I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, she will be my first choice.
Helene is a cut-to-the-chase type of person, which is exactly what one needs in a lawyer or consultant. She isn't there to be your therapist, and frankly, it's you dollar so knowing that and sticking the script will save you a few bucks anyway. That is not to say she's is anything besides very kind and helpful, because she is both of those things. She knows how to get results and I would highly recommend her as a lawyer and/or consultant.
She is a terrific lawyer. My case was a mess. I tried to represent myself and was completely confused. After my first session with Helene, I felt like I understood the basics of what the issues were the court could look at and what the law was. She was very responsive to my many phone calls and kept me well informed at every stage of the process. I am so grateful and my kids are in much better shape because of the advice she gave me and the outcomes she won in court. We even settled the case, even though my husband and I fought about everything in the beginning.
I had a very difficult custody case. Helene stuck with me and was very effective in court hearings and very supportive during the whole case. I got what I needed and more.
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 the expense of traveling to Seattle for my case. A GREAT ATTORNEY!!!!
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.
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 placed 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.
She did a terrific job for me in a very ugly custody case.
Extremely competent, dependable, knowledgable. The case started out simple. Opposing counsel then started to use less than professional tactics...Hellene responded with accuracy and professionalism. The outcome of the divorce was more favorable than I could have anticipated.
Helene is extremely rude and terse when dealing with her clients. At first I thought it was her directness, but then it turned just plain rude and bordering on mean. Her assistance was worthless and did not help my situation at all. Then the bill, I received about 4 emails from her none more than a couple of paragraphs long, and she billed me for 3.4 hours! There really is no way that she could have spent even an hour on these emails. I am disputing her bill, but feel helpless with this situation. I will never hire her again.

Her assistance was worthless and did not help my situation at all. Then the bill, I received about 4 emails from her none more than a couple of paragraphs long, and she billed me for 3.4 hours! There really is no way that she could have spent even an hour on these emails. I am disputing her bill, but feel helpless with this situation. I will never hire her again.
Family court is a horrible place to end up on the best of days. Helene always had honest answers, never sugar-coated anything, and is a 'good hand in a storm'! I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, she will be my first choice.
Helene is a cut-to-the-chase type of person, which is exactly what one needs in a lawyer or consultant. She isn't there to be your therapist, and frankly, it's you dollar so knowing that and sticking the script will save you a few bucks anyway. That is not to say she's is anything besides very kind and helpful, because she is both of those things. She knows how to get results and I would highly recommend her as a lawyer and/or consultant.
She is a terrific lawyer. My case was a mess. I tried to represent myself and was completely confused. After my first session with Helene, I felt like I understood the basics of what the issues were the court could look at and what the law was. She was very responsive to my many phone calls and kept me well informed at every stage of the process. I am so grateful and my kids are in much better shape because of the advice she gave me and the outcomes she won in court. We even settled the case, even though my husband and I fought about everything in the beginning.
I had a very difficult custody case. Helene stuck with me and was very effective in court hearings and very supportive during the whole case. I got what I needed and more.
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 the expense of traveling to Seattle for my case. A GREAT ATTORNEY!!!!
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.
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 placed 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.
She did a terrific job for me in a very ugly custody case.
Extremely competent, dependable, knowledgable. The case started out simple. Opposing counsel then started to use less than professional tactics...Hellene responded with accuracy and professionalism. The outcome of the divorce was more favorable than I could have anticipated.
Helene is extremely rude and terse when dealing with her clients. At first I thought it was her directness, but then it turned just plain rude and bordering on mean. Her assistance was worthless and did not help my situation at all. Then the bill, I received about 4 emails from her none more than a couple of paragraphs long, and she billed me for 3.4 hours! There really is no way that she could have spent even an hour on these emails. I am disputing her bill, but feel helpless with this situation. I will never hire her again.
