Helm Family Law LLP

Allison.W was a huge help to me during my case. From the start she was easy to talk to, honest, and really knew what she was doing. She took the time to explain things in a way I could understand and always made sure I felt comfortable with what was going on.

Going through something like this can be stressful, but having Allison on my side made it a lot easier. She was patient, professional, and you could tell she actually cared about helping me and doing a good job.

I’m really thankful for everything she did and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a good lawyer.

I had a tough, contentious divorce after 25 years of marriage. Elaine was the most understanding,, compassionate, hard-working attorney I have ever met. She won absolutely every battle she went into with grace and respect. I cannot recommend this law firm and her enough.

Helm Family Law was absolutely great. They took the time to really listen to us and got us in quickly for a consultation when we needed it most. Perry was excellent — clear, patient, and thorough in explaining our situation and the options available. We felt supported and understood the entire way through. Highly recommend them.

Unfortunately, our experience with Helm Family Law LLP was very disappointing. We met directly with one of the firm’s partners, which makes the experience even more concerning. During the meeting, it was clear that personal feelings and emotions were influencing the interaction, rather than maintaining a professional, client-focused approach.

As potential clients, we came in expecting understanding, neutrality, and professionalism — qualities that are especially important in family law. Instead, we left feeling dismissed and uncomfortable. If this is the standard set by a partner, it raises serious questions about the firm’s overall culture and values.

I would strongly encourage anyone considering Helm Family Law LLP to carefully evaluate whether this is the right firm to trust with sensitive personal matters.

Erika and staff are amazing. The costs are always transparent and worth every penny. Always there to answer questions. I am so thankful for the help with this difficult time in my life.

I used Elaine as my lawyer for a custody case with my son which i won. She was very professional, fast and always stayed in contact and kept me updated with everything. Very outstanding performance. Would 100% use them again.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional work Elaine O’Connor did on my file. From start to finish, her professionalism, expertise, and dedication were evident in every step of the process. She took the time to truly understand the situation, clearly explained all my options, and guided me.

Elaine’s attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were remarkable, and she consistently went above and beyond.

If you’re looking for an outstanding lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and understanding, I highly recommend Elaine. Thank you for everything!!

Elaine O'Connor of Helm Family Law LLP was my legal representation. She helped me through a high conflict custody. Elaine has great communication skills, and excellent responsiveness skills. I highly recommend Elaine.

Elaine O’Connor is EXCEPTIONAL LAWYER!
A year ago I was looking for an aggressive lawyer who would help me navigate my case fighting for my basic father’s rights that were disrespectfully ignored by the other party. I stumbled across the review describing Elaine as an aggressive family lawyer in Edmonton and decided to call her.
Having to work with Elaine extensively for a year now, I can confirm that she is so much more than that!
Miss O’Connor is a passionate yet very reasonable lawyer. She is honest and very realistic in her views! She will tell you first hand what to most likely expect in the court room and where to keep the focus. Besides practising a family law for years, Elaine also has a previous experience with managing large foreign corporations which serves her very well with talking on your behalf in front of the justice. The thing I apreciated about her the most is that she has a huge heart and will fight for the right thing with the passion! Her moral compass is exceptional !
I was very surprised with the way Elaine drafts the affidavit. I did my best to describe my case as briefly and as informatively as possible, yet Elaine was able to rewrite my whole story so effectively
and formulated the affidavit in much clearer way. She knows the weight of the words and knows how to use them with great impact!
Elaine won’t be pushed around by opposing counsel and has her very own way to peacefully navigate the conflict. Her communication skills are brilliant and will have the attention of the judge!
Having Elaine by my side at the JDR conference room felt like I was sitting there with a long time friend who absolutely refused to give up on me and had my back the whole time !

I am forever grateful to Miss O’Connor for her professional service !
