A thief perading as a Christian

I hired Adam at least a year ago with a 10K retainer. No motions were ever filed, I haven't seen my child in over the year that I've had him retained because he refuses to fight for my rights as a mother, he postpones my hearing dates months out at the convenience of the opposing counsel, he refuses ...phone calls, text messages and emails. I've asked him several times to return my payment so that I can pursue another attorney and Mr. Helleck refuses. Avoid this man at all costs if you cherish your children.

Attorney Adam Helleck is the soldier you need in the battlefield

We hired Attorney Adam Helleck to represent us by representing the truth; what was best for our son. He came in after two previous attorney’s just couldn’t get the job done. Before Adam’s representation, between the other two attorney’s we spent almost a decade in court. I will admit, our case was no... simple ordinary custody case. It went to trial several times with the judgement for custody being swayed back and forth every time. We felt defeated and couldn’t understand why the truth was taking so long to have light shed on it. It physically took a toll on our family, health wise, financially & in every aspect but we remained faithful. I won’t lie, it was the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do knowing our child was enduring the unimaginable. Then, we hired Attorney Adam Helleck and within a year of dealing with the opposition’s court resets, we were able to suit up for trial & the truth was finally revealed! We won full custody of our baby, not so little anymore but still our baby! We are forever grateful beyond what words can express to God and for using Adam to right the systems immense wrong. It takes one strong soldier in what felt like a battle field. It’s been about 5 years. Our child is almost graduating high school, has become a beautiful, happy, loving young man & we couldn’t be more proud! We’re still singing Attorney Helleck’s praise, too!

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 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.
