Outstanding Counsel

Attorney Michael Helveston was from our very first meeting; listening. Coupled with a clearly well informed, professional and expert depth of knowledge, Michael's compassionate guidance throughout the entire experience created calm and organization from the overt, obstinate dysfunction brought upon u...s at the hands of our insurance company. Never toxic, yet appropriately firm in presenting an entirely defensible position on our behalf based upon case law, and again, expert knowledge of his area of practice. Add to this, just a decent human being. Very pleasant to work with, always responsive. Excellent communication throughout. HIGHLY recommend.

Highly recommend!

Michael was extremely knowledgeable in the legal statutes regarding a landlord dispute. While working through this case, he gave me options to consider, along with his professional opinion on how to best proceed. Michael was persistent in keeping this case moving forward and kept me apprised on upd...ates the entire way. Highly recommend!

Help on the way..

I highly recommend Michael. My brother needed help regarding an eviction issue, as many people do during this pandemic crisis. However, my brother had a dire need and was unable to fix the issue due to his incarceration. Michael was straight up, professional, and went the extra mile to look for reso...lve. He also went to work immediately. No wasting any time here. Not only did my brother get the funding he needed to keep him in his apartment, but he was represented by an honest, empathetic, professional, who is human at heart. Michael, you are blessing to our family. If it weren't for your immediate assistance and kind attitude, my brother would be on the streets today. Thank you!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Michael is very good at what he does and if there was a 10 star rating instead of a 5 star rating....I would give him 11 stars. I hired him to help with a business fire insurance loss claim that seemed to be going nowhere. He worked with our public adjuster and always kept the ball rolling when thi...ngs seemed to be at a standstill. I recall several phone calls and emails where he was simply "checking in" to see if we made any progress with the claim with our public adjuster....how many attorneys do that?? Michael responded very promptly to any correspondence whether by email or phone. Rarely, did I call his office and not reach him as opposed to leaving messages. He has a lot of knowledge on the subject and even pointed out errors made in correspondence from our insurance company. Basically if you need an attorney to go to bat for you in the legal fields he specializes in, then you will not find a better attorney than Michael Helveston. I only wish I knew about him / hired him sooner....the 3+ year claim probably would have been resolved much quicker and without my need for a public aduster. If I ever need legal assistance again for whatever reason, Michael will be my first call.
