For many people, they will engage a lawyer when they buy their first home or make a will.
Whichever group you fall into, engaging with a lawyer gives you the opportunity to build a relationship with a professional you know you can call upon if you find yourself needing their services unexpectedly.
“As lawyers, we hold a very privileged position of being able to help people in situations that might be stressful, unfamiliar or unexpected,” principal Helen Volk at Helen Volk Lawyers said. “We provide advice, protection, guidance and advocacy from a position of knowledge and experience to assist our clients through some of the most significant times of their lives.”

Building a relationship with a lawyer who practises in a variety of areas of law, means you have someone you know you can rely on to help you when you need it most.
Helen Volk Lawyers is a local firm based in Wollongong that was was established in 2012. There are seven staff, including two lawyers. Principal Helen Volk has been practising since 1994 and working in law since 1986.
“Our firm provides legal services in property transactions, wills and estates, family law, criminal law and commercial law,” Helen said.
“Having a broad skill set allows us to provide advice that is holistic and takes into account the totality of your circumstances to meet your needs including matters you may not have realised were important. For example, you might be buying a home with your new spouse, and you have children from a former relationship. It will be important to discuss the way you buy the property to take into account the needs of your children and make a will to protect your spouse and children in the event of your death.
“We’ve had the privilege of building relationships with clients who return again and again, and given our versatile practice we can address whatever they face. We pride ourselves on high quality and personalised legal service and advice.”
Helen takes seriously the need to add to our community with her skill set and has been a volunteer solicitor for the Illawarra Legal Centre for 19 years, a member of the Illawarra International Women’s Day committee for 12 years and has twice held the position of president of the local law society. She assists University of Wollongong with student advocacy assessment and provides student placement opportunities.
