Amazing Results!!!!

Mr. Helson works wonders. His prior experience as a prosecutor not only allows him to accurately access the legal hurdles against his client, but it also allows him particular insight into any advantage he might have in defending his clients. I cannot be more pleased with the results Mr. Helson ach...ieved on behalf of my daughter. I could have lost her to the system for many years. She is home now.

Endsville

Mr. Helson is a very knowledgeable, dedicated and observant attorney. Even though I received him as court appointed counsel, he defended me and fought for me as if I was a high paying client. I don't think he realizes what a hero he is in my life, but I hope he feels it. He helped me get my life back... on track when I thought it was over and done with. His belief in everyone's right to a fair trial is impressive. I owe you, Ronald.

Highly rcommened lawyer

If you are looking for an attorney who will listen, work hard, and fight for you then I would highly recommend Ron Helson. When I hired Mr. Helson I was facing a third degree felony, a class a misdemeanor and going against a tough court. He provided me with a immediate sense of relief after speaking ...with 5 other lawyers who did not really want to help me with my case. After I told Mr. Helson the outcome I was hoping for, he fought for more. I couldn't have been more impressed with his representation and more blessed with my outcome. My family and I would like to say thank you Mr. Helson I appreciate the hard work you did!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Ron Helson. I have known Ron for almost 9 years and he has been a great mentor, colleague, and friend. A few years ago, we worked together on a felony where I saw his attention to detail and his determination on preparing for trial even though we thought the case might eventually settle. He approaches every case as if it were going to trial, which is how a great attorney is supposed to defend his clients. I would recommend Ron for anyone looking for representation by an intelligent, experienced, professional, and determined advocate. His experience in various county courthouses, especially Brazoria County, is a major advantage for his clients. He will work hard to defend his clients and protect their rights. I regularly seek his counsel on some of my difficult cases and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering seeking his representation. He is definitely an asset to the defense bar and to his clients."

"Ron is trusted and respected not only by the defense bar in Brazoria County but by District Attorney's office and her progeny. He has the legal experience, the practical knowledge, and the common sense to assist you through every stage of your legal case. While no one wants to be in a position to seek out a defense attorney, if and/or when you are in such a position, Ron is someone you want in your corner from the beginning until your acquittal."

"I endorse Ron Helson. Ron may be the top criminal defense lawyer in all of Brazoria County. There are to enough good things that can be said about Ron. He has handled literally thousands of criminal cases as a prosecutor as well. Ron has tried the most serious of cases too: felonies like murder and bank robbery. No criminal matter is too complicated for Ron. I recommend Ron Helson for criminal defense."
