I Interviewed a few firms in the area before choosing Helena and her team. Once I spoke with her I knew She understood the challenges and worries I had. As a parent, as a female- I just Knew. She’s sharp, is well connected and most importantly, she’s highly recognized for her ethic and I would Recommend her to anyone seeking legal advice and help. Her staff is reliable and consistent, and she expressly helped with anything and everything my kids and I needed during the case. I felt important and in Highly capable hands. Thank you for everything, Helena!! You truly know how to dot the i’s and cross your t’s. The work you did for my kids and will live on and I cannot thank you enough for the peace we’ve been able to reach.

Helena made my life so much easier through the whole very stressful process. She was knowledgeable and helpful and eased my mind that everything was going to get taken care of, and that I was in good hands. She was on top of everything and was always there to answer my questions. Everyone in her office was also very helpful and kind. I would 100% recommend her!

Love Helena and team! My case was taken seriously and that meant everything to me because before Helena, the Attorney I chose had no interest in my case and I lost money. If you want a passionate and down to earth experience, Miriam Cooper Law firm is the way. Thanks Helena and team!

We hired Helena to complete the modification of a marital agreement that had inadvertently been preventing our completing our estate plan. Helena met with us and identified the steps we needed to take, then completed the process for us, which included going before family court in Illinois. Each step of the way, she explained what we needed to do and why, then she and her office completed the task until we achieved our desired outcome. We had a very pleasant experience working with this kind and competent attorney.

Helena was wonderful to work with through every step of my divorce. She always made time, listened to my concerns, and provided thoughtful feedback. Helena made an incredibly painful and difficult time better, while ensuring that I was protected, resulting in a final decree in under 12 months.

Helena was amazing throughout my dissolution of marriage case. She also was very responsive, available and knowledgeable about all the issues I was going through and able to provide immediate advice in emotionally charged situations. I did not have an easy case but she got me through it. I will be forever grateful!

I have had a couple of divorce attorneys over the past decade from my initial divorce to dealing with complex custody and financial issues that arose after. I do not need to look any further if I should require assistance again. Helena was so professional, responsive and thorough. I really felt like she had an in-depth understanding of the many complex issues I was facing. Additionally she is very compassionate and helped me maintain perspective in emotionally charged situations.
