Best attorney around

I have retained John off and on, since 2001, for both civil and criminal cases and let me say that he takes a very personal part in his approach to achieving the very best outcome for his client. ive also known others that have used John's services, and they were pleased with their outcomes. Along ...the course of the situation, Ive always felt very optimistic with the future and the ouycome because of having John Helmers at the Helm. Additionally, John's father was an Army lawyer (JAG); therefore, John feels a commitment to working with veterans, such as myself, and fully understands our ways of thinking. John's fees are comparable to most, but I strongly feel your money is used to achieve the best results. there are cheaper attorneys, but you then get results, where your concerns could be overlooked, and you'll just be another number and not a more personal approach.

Disappointed Parent

The judge sent my kids, my ex wife and myself to see this lawyer. I paid half the bill and my ex wife had to pay the other half. Now I keep getting a bill for her half. He said I should be in my kids life but I never heard anything back from the judge or the lawyer.That was suppose to review our case... he was over with us. Biggest waste of my life and time. I still haven't heard anything and it's been 1 yr now. The justice system has failed my kids. June the 20th of 2012 my son called 911 on his mother and the courts never even tried to pull the recording. Two weeks later he ran away. I'll never forget that day, but the judges and lawyer sure will. Sad world we all live in. Now, I live for the day that my children turn 18 so their mother can't keep them away. Nothing was ever resolved in my case. And now,my children and I are growing older without one another. Good luck on finding a fair justice system for your kids and yourself.
