Helena was very thorough and patient throughout the whole process. She helped explain everything that was easy to understand, answered and is very responsive. Highly recommend!

I Interviewed a few firms in the area before choosing Helena and her team. Once I spoke with her I knew She understood the challenges and worries I had. As a parent, as a female- I just Knew. She’s sharp, is well connected and most importantly, she’s highly recognized for her ethic and I would Recommend her to anyone seeking legal advice and help. Her staff is reliable and consistent, and she expressly helped with anything and everything my kids and I needed during the case. I felt important and in Highly capable hands. Thank you for everything, Helena!! You truly know how to dot the i’s and cross your t’s. The work you did for my kids and will live on and I cannot thank you enough for the peace we’ve been able to reach.

I have used Charles T. Newland & Associates over the past 22 years for numerous legal matters including contracts, wills and a personal injury lawsuit. In each instance, Chuck has proven that he has an impressive understanding of the law and how to protect his clients, while genuinely caring for their well being. Chuck patiently advised me on the strengths and potential weaknesses of taking my personal injury case before a Lake County jury and helped me to assess if pursuing a legal battle was in my best interest. He advised of the pros and cons, knowing this was an extremely emotional and difficult undertaking for me. Chuck acted as my partner in the process, all the way through the trial. He gave me the knowledge and strength to stand up for what was right and, in the end, we were awarded a ruling in our favor in the amount Chuck advised the case would merit. Chuck is a strong presence in the courtroom and commands the attention of the judge and jury with expertise, not arrogance. Chuck and his staff are responsive and very hands on, offering stellar client service and attention. Chuck is an excellent, seasoned attorney who fights for his client's rights, as well as a truly honest and good person who cares about his clients, the law and justice.

Helena made my life so much easier through the whole very stressful process. She was knowledgeable and helpful and eased my mind that everything was going to get taken care of, and that I was in good hands. She was on top of everything and was always there to answer my questions. Everyone in her office was also very helpful and kind. I would 100% recommend her!

Helena and her team was amazing! So down to earth and understanding to all my needs. I never had to hound the team for an update. Basically I told Helena what it was I wanted and thats what I got. Highly recommend using Miriam Cooper for any family court needs.

Love Helena and team! My case was taken seriously and that meant everything to me because before Helena, the Attorney I chose had no interest in my case and I lost money. If you want a passionate and down to earth experience, Miriam Cooper Law firm is the way. Thanks Helena and team!

Great service, responded to questions in timely fashion, thorough explanations, entire process was done quickly

Helena was wonderful to work with through every step of my divorce. She always made time, listened to my concerns, and provided thoughtful feedback. Helena made an incredibly painful and difficult time better, while ensuring that I was protected, resulting in a final decree in under 12 months.

We hired Helena to complete the modification of a marital agreement that had inadvertently been preventing our completing our estate plan. Helena met with us and identified the steps we needed to take, then completed the process for us, which included going before family court in Illinois. Each step of the way, she explained what we needed to do and why, then she and her office completed the task until we achieved our desired outcome. We had a very pleasant experience working with this kind and competent attorney.
