Divorce - Helen Camidge
Helen Camidge - Divorce proceedings ( Title)
Helen Camidge represented me in a complicated and emotional divorce proceedings.
Helen was extremely supportive and understanding and fought my corner every step of the way. She was phenomenal in court with a no-nonsense attitude and achieved a settlement figure given I had advised Helen I wanted to avoid full court proceedings.
Helen is knowledgeable in the area of law she practices in. She was very kind throughout the process and treats her client not only professional but with a friendly service.
I couldn’t recommend Helen enough and I am very thankful for all the work, time, and effort she put into my case.

Fighter, the out come no one expected! 1 mother 3 kids back together
I was passed Helen’s details on from a friend who had used Henry Hyams before I can honestly say it’s very difficult to give trust to someone when it comes to your children’s lives but I can wholeheartedly say that Helen has dealt with my family law proceedings in such a professional manner but also like a mother fighting for her own children. Helen has been amazing not only for the outcome to be more than what I expected it to be but because she too was able to help and support me! Thank you just doesn’t seem to be enough but I truly mean it from the bottom of my heart, Thank you and keep doing what you do! I can’t recommend you enough!! Caroline x

excellent service, helpful supportive team
Henry Hyams and in particular Helen Camidge has handled my case for over two years. Throughout this time Helen has been supportive and understanding. She is knowledgeable in the subject area, and well respected within the legal profession. The judge overseeing the case on one occasion took the time to say how pleased he was that she was available for the hearing and spoke of the experience she brings.
Helen takes time to communicate clearly. She put things in layman's terms went through all the stages and processes and potential outcomes. In my case she was able to alter her way of working to enable me to lip read by putting in more face to face meetings and zoom calls as apposed to telephone calls.
Throughout my case Helen was easy to contact and quick to reply.
Helen was mindful of cost when I was privately funding and continued to give the same excellent service when I was funded by legal aid.
At critical times thought the court hearings it was clear that Helen had put in time to go back through the many assessments and correspondence from professionals. She then joined the dots to produce a clear position for the case, which she backed up and referenced to the documents she had seen and evidence available. Her time and experience in doing this as well as her clear communication altered the course of the case.
I hope not to need to use solicitors again in the future but would definitely go back to this firm and recommend their services.
