Real estate transaction forms and processes can be overwhelming. Because our homes are so important to us, we want to ensure that we're making the right investment decisions when closing on a house. That's why I strive to simplify the process and provide you with peace of mind that your legal needs are taken care of.
Since obtaining my law degree from DePaul University College of Law, I have focused my practice on real estate law. I gained extensive experience handling real estate transactions, disputes, and guiding clients through the proper documentation and processes every step of the way. I genuinely enjoy helping individuals and families through big life changes, and buying or selling a home is often a big part of that.

Ms Fanning assisted me in the purchase of a Condo in Illinois. Helen handled everything perfectly and in a timely manner. Note that this was an out-of-state transaction and part of a 1031 like-kind exchange. She was great. I recommend her without reservation.

I have hired Helen twice as my real estate attorney. She is fantastic. Makes the closing simple for you and takes care of everything before hand. She works really well with the realtors, other attorneys and title companies involved. She also negotiates good terms for comps and other issues. I will always contact Helen!
