Helene L. Taylor, California Family Law Consulting Attorney, Legal Strategist, Peace Activist

It’s easy to see divorce as a painful path you must walk alone without the expertise of a lawyer because you don’t know who to trust. But compassionate competent  advice is available and empowers you to solve salient problems consciously.

I’m Helene L. Taylor. I’m a former San Francisco trial lawyer who has, for 27 years, worked with the most formidable attorneys, judges, and experts in Hawaii and California. I’ve helped over a thousand people mediate, litigate, and resolve contentious complex divorce issues in Marin, OC, Contra Costa, San Mateo, Napa, LA, Silicon Valley, and beyond. I’m also divorced.

If you want trustworthy legal advice and strategies you can use to navigate the legal system and negotiate settlement agreements, 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
