Helene L. Taylor, Author, Attorney, Activist for Peace

You’re probably here for three reasons: You’re getting divorced, and you need to know how to navigate the legal process and find your way back to yourself. Your soul-centered journey won’t be easy, but it isn’t impossible. How do I know?

I’m Helene L. Taylor. I divorced twice in my twenties peacefully without lawyers. I’m also a former San Francisco family law trial attorney who has, for 27 years, worked with the most formidable divorce attorneys, mediators, experts, and judges in Hawaii and California. I’ve helped nearly a thousand soul-centered people mediate, litigate, and resolve contentious complex divorces in  Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, Marin, Napa, OC, and beyond. Many of my former clients are now friends who live or are on the way to living vital sustainable lives. I want the same for you.  I’m here to help you find and take the next step.  Speak to Me.

CLIENT PRAISE

"Helene understands human behavior, and has a gift for deescalating conflict. I felt safe with Helene representing me during a complicated divorce. We've been friends ever since my divorce sixteen years ago." ~Toni Wroolie, PhD, Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry, Stanford University Medicine

"When I realized that I was getting a divorce I knew I needed to find a guide. She’d need to be smart, soulful, kind, and know her way around the legal system like nobody’s business. I loved working with Helene because she covered all of those bases beautifully, and she made it possible for me to move through my divorce with peace of mind and confidence" ~Laurie Wagner, 27powers.org

"Helene gently challenged me to consider which outcome would be best for my daughter and I, and gave me the courage and consistency I needed to pursue it successfully. I learned so much about myself as a result. Helene's is a compassionate and strategic approach. On a personal level, Helene is exceptionally positive and inspiring. I feel blessed to have received Helene's help through a challenging divorce during the pandemic." ~NC, Mother, Los Angeles Small Business Owner
