Good lawyer

After a grueling, expensive experience with a lawyer on the same issue. I am so happy to come across Adam and his team. He gave full attention to details, patient , transparent and kept me up to date on the process. i would highly recommend him and his law firm to my closest friends and family.

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.

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.

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.
