What's Next.....
Helen took the California State Bar Exam five (5) times between 2007 and 2010 all attempts unsuccessful. Helen is NOT AN ATTORNEY, AND CANNOT GIVE YOU LEGAL ADVICE. Helen's job is to assist you in preparing your own legal paperwork. After much soul searching and pleading with Jesus, the Holy Spirit whispered "you cannot play in that yard." After being reminded of why she was called to self-help law, Helen is now better armed to teach and empower those who desire to represent themself gain access to the law. With renewed focus, Helen is determined to help those who desire to help themself avoid legal conflict and help reveal the truth of the situation.
