Testimonials
S. Bragg
I sought out Ephraim Helton due to a reputation of legal success. I found the reputation to be true, but lacking. What I found lacking in the reputation, there was no mention of the care and compassion shown by Mr. Eph Helton and his staff. Like most divorces involving children, emotions for me ran high. Eph made his position very clear during my initial visit….”our focus will be on what is in the best interest of your son.” Thank you Eph for your integrity and boldness to maintain the focus on what my son and I truly needed. You made the most out of a bad situation and I would recommend Ephraim Helton to anyone when I hear they are in need of legal representation.
