No one is happy to be in a situation where you need a family lawyer. That certainly was true for us. We were fortunate to have Helen as our lawyer to guide us. Not only did she know her way around the courts, she was compassionate and understanding. I don't know what we would have done without her. If you find yourself in need of a family lawyer, Helen is the person you want by your side!
Helen has helped me in a difficult divorce situation. She has guided me to goals that I wanted. She knows the steps and paper trail that must be followed. She has represented me faithfully and provided me the agreements, contracts, and office assistance when I needed them. She has given me reasonable guide posts that I can follow. I can count on her support.
