Legal matter re divorce deed of separation and challenging after 11 yr
Very professional advice given and demonstrated that they (Helen) knew the law in terms of what is right and what is wrong. Very tenacious in terms of threats of action if genuine requests for change not taken seriously by other party. Would recommend Helen for any Matrimonial or Family matters.
