Our Work

I cannot recommend Helen Ghio highly enough! I reached out to her for help with a complicated title issue that was holding up our purchase of a property in Palm Desert. From our very first conversation, it was clear that she had a deep understanding of real estate law. The title issue involved an old lien and conflicting records that no one else could figure out. Helen was very thorough and strategic. She communicated clearly every step of the way, kept me informed of all developments and worked efficiently with everyone involved to get the matter resolved. Thanks to her expertise and persistence, the title was cleared and we were able to close on the property. What was a stressful situation and could have been much more costly turned into a smooth process. If you’re dealing with any kind of real estate legal matter (especially one that’s complex!) call Helen!

Helen helped me set up an LLC for my new property management business here in San Diego, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how everything went. I wasn’t totally sure where to start, but she made the whole process super simple and stress-free. She handled all the paperwork and filings (state, IRS, etc.) and made sure it was done right. She explained things in a way that was easy to understand, and I always felt like I was in good hands. Any time I had a question, she got back to me right away and never made me feel like I was asking too much. Super professional, friendly, and just great to work with. If you need help getting your business going, I totally recommend her 100%!

I was facing an incredibly stressful situation where my landlord was trying to pressure me into relocating my business, despite the fact that I still had three years left on my lease. I was so overwhelmed and unsure of my legal rights, but from the moment I contacted her, she brought clarity and control to the situation. She immediately identified several provisions that were in my favor. She was an excellent negotiator and a great listener. She genuinely cared about protecting my business and made sure I was well informed throughout the process. Helen communicated directly with the landlord’s attorney and pushed back firmly but diplomatically. I was able to remain in my space on my original terms (with no increase!). Thank you, Helen!

I recently worked with Helen Ghio on the sale of a property that had been in my family for 3 generations. It wasn’t just an average business transaction, it was an emotional and complex process that involved years of history, family dynamics, and a demanding buyer. The buyer and their attorney were “aggressive” and tried to push negative terms on us and rush everything. Thank God we had Helen on our side! She was always calm and composed even when things got tense but she pushed back as needed and always kept our best interests first and foremost. I was blown away by how she dealt with multiple heated conversations with the buyer’s attorney. She was worth every penny in the peace of mind she gave me and my siblings. I highly recommend her.
