Diligent and involved

Adam went the extra mile not only for me, but also for a very close friend in our family law cases. His attention to detail, listening to my concerns, understanding the situation, identifying/handling 3rd party characters involved, requests for information/discovery, and his "on time" attitude were... unmatched.

Very unprofessional

Do yourself a favor and hire a professional attorney. Adam is late to hearings and arbitrations but bills as if he was on time. His invoices are full of errors and fraudulent billing hours that he cannot defend. He is constantly asking for additional money before completing the previous task. He ...never submits the proper paperwork to the court in a timely fashion , creating a record that does not accurately represent the facts of the case. Overall, the guy is very unprofessional and incapable of effectively representing any party in an equitable family law proceeding. He owes many ex clients money from unearned retainers and refuses to return phone calls or the funds in question. Hire a reputable firm with a proven record of professionally representing clients in family court. Not a one man firm operating out of their kitchen.

Adam is someone you want on your side

After being instructed by CPS to do so, I was frantically in search of an attorney to help me get an emergency modification done to my custody order. My situation involved a sexual assault incident with my daughter, her father, and his girl friend at the time. Other attorneys I spoke to were less tha...n encouraging that I would be granted the supervised visitation I was seeking due to a lack of physical evidence, and not yet having a ruling from the CPS investigation. During my last attempts to find representation, I came across Helleck Law. I left a message with Adam, who returned my call shortly after, despite being in the midst of a personal matter. Upon speaking to him, I had hope (For the first time) and was so appreciative of his willingness to help me and more importantly my daughter. Adam new exactly what to do and offered solutions that no other attorney did. His fees were reasonable and he was flexible with payment arrangements, which was very helpful with mine and my husband's growing family. I spoke to Adam on a Friday evening, retained him Saturday afternoon, and by that Tuesday I was granted an Emergency Restraining Order for my daughter. His assistant, Meghan, was great in answering any questions I had and guiding me through out the legal process. Following the emergency TRO, I was granted supervised visits in our temporary orders and sole conservatorship in our finally custody orders ten months later. Adam's professionalism, knowledge of the law, and eagerness to help gave me the confidence that I was lacking pertainting to my situation. Thanks to him, I have the peace of mind today that my daughter is safe. I am forever grateful for that and without a doubt use Helleck law again for any future legal needs.

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!
