Make Chris your first call.

Chris handled a case for me recently. He was kind, processing, and reassuring. He was direct with me, providing me with all of the information that I needed, patiently explaining the process, and answering all of my questions. He set realistic expectations, and then exceeded them. Chris and the staff... at Inlet Law, especially his assistant Sheron, made sure i was a priority. My case was handled quickly, my calls and emails to his office were replied to promptly, and he had my case dismissed thanks to his finely crafted argument and sounds knowledge of our rights and the law. He will fight for you, I know he fought for me. Do yourself a favor and make him your FIRST call if you need a professional for your defense. Thank you, Chris.

This attorney is a Bulldog!

I knew Mr. Helms because he prosecuted a case years ago for a family member. He was sharp and knowledgeable when we met in his office, but it wasn't until we got to court that we really got to see him shine. He has a commanding presence and fought hard for me until my case was dismissed! Thank you... so much Mr. Helms!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
