Harry Paul Hellings Jr.

I must agree with other posters who said he only cares about $s. He took a lot of mine $s and proceeded to call screen my calls and worse - bad mouthed me behind my back to a friend when he was hired to represent me while I was incarcerated! He pushed for a trial with next to zero skills in... the area required to represent me that resulted in more time in jail than the plea offer. Total waste of money and an embarrassment to his profession!

I'm going to echo a bit of what the other reviewer said in his review. If you hire Harry Hellings expect to talk to him during your initial consultation and then to see him the day of your trial. The rest of the time you will be communicating through and with an artificially endowed, blonde reception...ist. At each of my several court appearances leading up to my trial a random attorney from their office showed up that I had never met or talked to before. If you are expecting somebody that is the least bit technically savvy, you really need to look elsewhere. Harry actually needed somebody to put the DVD of my arrest in the player at his office to view it. He asked me to take some pictures at the arrest scene. I showed up in court with them in digital format along with some video that I had shot, neither of which was used because Harry cannot handle the media system in the courtroom. In this day and age I find not being able to use the latest technology simply unacceptable. The argument that he used during my trial was almost laughable, and I think he just came into court and figured he was going to wing it. It will be two years in a couple of days since I got my DUI and not only do I still kick myself for hiring him, but I really kick myself for not asking for some of my retainer money back after the trial. It was just that disappointing.
