Helen Anthony
J.D.
I am sad to report that Helen has decided it is time to step back from her practice with Handy Law. I am so grateful for our 12 years of practice together. Helen has been an invaluable teammate and pillar of our firm. She has been a true steward of our clients across the board and especially with her contribution of land use, real estate and title matters. She has also carefully balanced her legal practice with all of her formidable stewardship of our community – everything from her dedicated service on the Providence City Council to her service at Miriam Hospital and her counseling work at Crossroads. I am honored and proud of all she has contributed to make Handy Law what it is today. Our office will miss all of Helen’s positive spirit. We wish her good rest and great peace in the years to come
