Detailed, well spoken and supportive

Cliff was presented with a constantly changing situation located in Michigan. He was patient, thorough and well spoken when it came to researching and drawing up documents that we needed.

Essential, Professional, Invested

I was connected with Clifford through a mutual friend. After an initial consultation I was impressed with his background, ethos and approach, and hired him for an investment project. Within days, Clifford performed deep evaluations of the laws in both Illinois and Michigan and presented high-level ...considerations, concerns, and recommendations. From there we iterated quickly and often until all parties were satisfied. Clifford was completely indispensable throughout this process. I was amazed at how quickly his turnarounds were, his attention to detail, and how he explained the complicated legal landscape in a digestible format. I truly know he had my best interests in mind the entire time, not just from a professional perspective, but from the perspective of someone who truly cares for others and wants to see them succeed in their endeavors. As far as I am concerned, Cliff is now my "family lawyer". I look forward to working with him on future projects and would recommend him very highly.

Outstanding work and affordable rates

When tasked with creating an operating agreement for my startup and its members, Cliff not only met my expectations but greatly exceeded them. His dedication to making sure the client is up to speed and clear on each step of the process is terrific, not to mention his attention to detail and stellar ...communication skills. He knows not everyone enjoys going over legalese, and he made that process painless for us. I'll most assuredly be using Cliff Helm in the future.
