Fantastic

I've only had a phone consultation and a few email exchanges with Chris Helt so far, but I could not be happier with his level of knowledge, his honesty, and his commitment to help. I'd recommend Chris without any reservations, and I myself hope to hire him in the near future to provide some additio...nal help related to my naturalization application.

Christopher Helt is a super lawyer.

I would like to say from the bottom of my heart that Christopher Helt really assisted me and my family when we needed it the most. He took time to examine the difficulties of my case. He gave me a feeling confidence to fight my case even though I had been to 2 pervious other lawyers who just charged... me and did nothing . At the end of my case ,Mr Helt got all the charges dismissed and did it by making my very difficult issue seem very straightforward . I will be grateful to him and pray for him and his family.

"Lifetime Dedication And Trust In Him"

I arrived in the US from the Philippines just a hope to get a better opportunity in life. However under any circumstances , the journey has been ultimately difficult especially if a particular status still under the radar. But if there is life, there is hope. I have always believe that there are bril...liant Lawyers out there whose kind, compassionate and will not take your money and run and Christopher Helt is one of those good ones out there. My immigration journey has been very difficult for me, it was very tough that I almost give up. Christopher Helt has been there for me with his expertise and guidance with my immigration. I cannot believe that after many struggles with USCIS to prove my case, I will soon become an American citizen. Christopher Helt has sophisticated skills with unique ability when it comes to immigration expertise. I have no idea what he did in my case because according to one of the USCIS officer, they do not have this kind of case in twenty years. I have a very unique immigration case that only Christopher Helt knows the secret on how to win and succeed. We never give up until we won the case, that's why I owe it all to Christopher Helt and his caring team. I am so thankful for everything he has done to me. He takes the time to return emails and worked on my case personally at all times for over five years, including meeting me in the evening for an urgent matter. Christopher Helt is a special lawyer who understands what its like coming from where I have lived, and never forget his dedication to me and seeing my case to the end.

ONLY IMMIGRATION LAWYER YOU WILL EVER NEED "BEST MAN FOR THE JOB"

Christopher Helt was there for me and won my deportation case. I was ordered deported and was detained for many months and was going to be deported to my home country. Mr. Helt stopped my deportation, reopened my case, removed my deportation order and obtained my release. From that moment on, Mr. ...Helt was always with me during my saga to legalize my status and stand up for my rights. HE FOUGHT FOR ME -- for years in the district courts and the immigration courtrooms and in different cities. I was deported in Los Angeles and Mr. Helt was there for me. My bond hearing was in Louisiana, and Mr. Helt was there for me. Mr. Helt was there for me at the Memphis court to help me obtain my lawful permanent residency. My immigration case was never easy. Even on the last day of my immigration trial, it was a very contested hearing. We won and Mr. Helt many times spoke up for me, made numerous objections, protected my rights, made sure that I was treated like a human being and with respect. And Mr. Helt later represented my wife. The day before her interview, there was a big snow storm in Chicago and the flights were cancelled. Mr. Helt left the airport and drove to Memphis overnight (THROUGH A SNOW STORM) so he could be with us at 8:00 a.m. the next morning. My wife got her green card, thanks to Christopher Helt. What Mr. Helt did for me and my family was amazing and is superhuman. I can honestly say I don't think there will ever be another lawyer who fights for the South Asian community like Mr. Helt.

Hope in a hopeless situation

I was left helpless and under immediate threat of deportation to India. But I found Christopher Helt and he stepped in as my new attorney. He brought new facts out that my previous lawyer never did. I was "left for dead" by my old lawyer, and Christopher Helt brought me back to life. My deportati...on case has been a horrible experience for me and my family and during this process, I underwent quadrupole heart bypass surgery. DHS still tried to deport me even when I was too sick to breath or walk to court. Mr. Helt never forgot me, his office responded to all my calls, and Mr. Helt ALWAYS responded personally to my emails. His kindness and compassion to me and my family were remarkable, but when he stepped into the courtroom he fought "ferociously" for me. He did this in a very tough place for immigrants, the Atlanta immigration court and before two very tough immigration judges. My doctors in Atlanta saved my physical health, but my lawyer from Chicago saved my life! I am here in America because of Christopher Helt.
