James Menze

I was a client of Helleck Law for a divorce from August 2019 - April 2020. Mr. Helleck is very well versed in the law and how to maximize the strengths and weaknesses of the case. He cuts through the drama to focus the situation in a way that keeps it as simple and stress free as possible. Of course,... anyone that has gone through a divorce knows it is unavoidable when children are involved. During mediation Mr. Helleck was very good. I did not settle for less than I deserved in visitation or estate division because of his counsel. When the case went to trial, he objected when necessary and left our witnesses on the sideline (hallway actually because it was a divorce with children and no one was allowed in the courtroom) when he knew it could only hinder the case. When the opposing counsel put in a motion for a new trial, Mr. Helleck easily used the law to get it denied. That motion was tried via ZOOM video conference with the judge, counsel, clients, and court reporter due to the current pandemic. His rates are right near the market price for the Houston area as well, making his services a decent value in a matter that may affect the rest of your life. The outcome for me was very favorable and I would recommend Mr. Helleck for legal representation.

Godsend!

Adam and his paralegal took on our very complex custody case for my husband's son. They were able to win my husband some serious rights that should ensure the safety of his son, hopefully for the rest of his life. At every turn, even against the ex-wife's crazy attorney, they held it together and stu...ck it to them. I'm SO grateful we found Adam. He really is a godsend. And I'm sure we'll need him as time wears on and the ex acts up. I have no doubt that he'll be here, every step of the way for us. HIRE THIS MAN. You won't regret it!

Adam is a true professional!

I hired Adam and have had the pleasure of having him represent me during my situation with my daughters mother and it was a very hard time for me emotionally. 1.) Having to track down my child and 2.) Do it from over 12 hours away in a different state while I served in the Army. He wasn’t after my mo...ney he dealt with my frustrations and misunderstandings of the case and always kept it professional. He and Meagan really did a great service to me and made my situation 10x better then what it was before. I will always have the greatest respect and appreciation for Adam and Megan’s hard work. They are just really good at what they do, from advising to explaining the process to motivating you when it seems like the case is going nowhere. They had a plan we stuck to it and they made it happen for me. I went from not knowing where my daughter was for 2 1/2 Years to practically seeing my daughter when ever I want because Adam and Megan put the fear of god in my daughters mother, professionally. He has truly left a impact on my life and i’ll always cherish this case and the outcome. If your reading this and thinking of having Adam and team work for you just do it and see for yourself let them do for you what they did for me.

I trust him.... and I trust very few

He's blunt but kind, tells you truth even when you don't want to hear it but tells you how to stand your ground for what is right... calms me and makes me have patience because "right, good and true" is on my side!!!! When I just want to attack those hurting my grandbaby!

The best there is.

This man is the truth! He is straight forward and on point. Adam and Megan (his assistant) dove deep for me and got the job done. After many years of going back and forth to family law court with the WRONG attorneys, I was mentally exhausted. Adam reviewed my case and was very upfront about what he c...ould get done for me. My ex had become accustom to to beating me in court... until now. Adam stayed with me through the process and fought. He doesn't back down and isn't afraid to go all in for you. Megan will fight for you as well, they know the law and how to use it to your favor. My case was for CS enforcement and custody. I was always able to get someone on the phone, never had to worry about him forgetting my court appointments or not remembering why we were there to start with. I simply can't say enough about how capable this law firm is. If you're looking for someone professional, well versed and firm... look no further.
