Having just finished a very long and difficult divorce, I can say with confidence that Helene Selznick is a woman of the utmost integrity. She is professional and knowledgeable beyond compare and her intuition and sense of timing is impeccable. She is quick and to the point as well as always available to discuss and support all aspects of the divorce process. Helene definitely went above and beyond the call of duty for me. It is because of her dedication to her work that I am now able to move forward peacefully with my life.

As I recall, very unresponsive. Impossible to have a conversation with her and when you do, you only get 2 seconds of her time. Those two seconds are valuable, and she knows the law. But there's no explanation of law or process, nor time given to a paying client ... or maybe my case wasn't important enough.

My Attorney passed away and Martin Ashley took over his practice. I had an Ebel Beluga watch along with a 2 karat diamond engagement ring which was supposed to be returned to me upon the completion of my Divorce. I phoned Martin Ashley to ask him for my valuables back which was written in a legal contract that I would. Mr. Ashley refused and informed me to hire an attorney to sue him.
Absolutely no morals or Ethics. So if you want an attorney void of ethics and morals. He's definitely your Man.

I highly recommend him.!

I came to Martin with absolute no knowledge on how my situation would evolve. During the first consultation, he explained step by step the procedures and I took his recommended course of action. Needless to say, due to Martin's advice my situation ended in a favorable and painless outcome.
If I ever need legal advice, Martin is on my speed dial.
