Client
First and foremost I wanna thank Mr. Ryan Helmick. Today I was giving a second chance and it speaks volumes to what ryan did for me in the courtroom. I know he’s not god but angel from god he’s that and more. Words cannot express the way he represented me In court today. He helped me get a second chance at my life when my sentencing called for prison commitment. I’ve had plenty attorneys represent me on pass cases. And they were good attorneys respectfully. Ryan is number one above all. I live out state and this guy by far is the best attorney I have ever had and I mean this . Las Vegas around the world. If you ever need attorney if you over look this guy clearly you made a mistake. He’s the real deal not one time did he sugarcoat to me about my chances of going prison. He was honest from day one and it showed in courtroom. Had I went to prison I would say the same things about ryan it’s genuine from the heart . I like to thank you ryan helmick for giving me another chance at my life. Also to your staff at the defenders this guy is the best to have in your corner for representation in any courtroom. I could write a book about how I was treated by ryan and you here one bad word. In closing to all who doesn’t know who Mr. Ryan Helmick is get on board because if he’s not at the top of your list he should be. Hands down he’s top in my book. Thanks again ryan couldn’t have picked a better attorney. God bless you I’m team ryan for life.

Seamless Experience
I hired Ryan to clear up some things for me after I moved out of state. He made things extremely easy and stress free, even from across the country, and was able to get my case completely thrown out. Definitely saved me quite the headache!

Outstanding Experience
I was very satisfied with Ryan Helmick and his services. He managed my DUI case very well and communicated with me while the courts were closed due to Covid-19 closures. He arranged my dates accordingly and handled my case extremely well. I was pleased with the outcome of my case. Thank you Ryan Helmick.

Very satisfied & grateful!
Ryan was a great help with my case of felonies I was wrongfully accused of, that was pending on my record for almost 2 years. After a good amount of continuations for my case since I would not accept any kind of deal, which he respected since I was not guilty of the crimes, Ryan was able to get the prosecutor to understand the facts of my case and convince him to dismiss the case. I am extremely happy with this outcome of course, as I had no prior record, nor did I actually do the crimes. Thank you Ryan for helping my case get dismissed, you are much appreciated! Definitely recommend Ryan to anyone who needs a lawyer for any of his specialty fields.

Ryan Helmick is the first attorney I would recommend to Family and Friends
Ryan and his team at Harris Law are first rate and he is the first attorney in Las Vegas that I would recommend to family and friends. He was first class in all areas of my case, communicating with me every step of the way and his expertise and personal care handling my situation gave me a result that far exceeded my expectations. The plea agreement that he was able to negotiate was better than I or anyone familiar with my case felt possible. Ryan was exceptional and resulted in helping me get my life back on track with a minimal penalty that other attorneys thought was unreachable. Thank you Ryan and your team for your personal approach and expertise both legally and personally, you are the best and I appreciate all of your hard work and attention to my situation and needs. I will recommend Ryan first and foremost for any criminal defense needs.

Best Experience
I was referred to Ryan by a close friend of mine to help me with my DUI case. Ryan calmed my nerves and assured me he would do everything in his power to make sure we had a strong case. Ryan made this as stress free as possible for me. Not only was he very responsive, but kept his word. My case was reduced down and he worked on my fees with the court as well. I can’t thank him enough! I would recommend Ryan to everyone. Beyond knowledgeable and amazing work ethic.

Best Attorney I’ve ever had
Ryan was the best attorney I could’ve asked for. He assisted my family and I during very difficult times. He was very professional, prompt with responses, and explained the process thoroughly. I felt very confident having Ryan represent our family. I would highly recommend him.

Amazing attorney that is passionate, experienced and will fight for YOU!
If you want an attorney that will fight for you, bring in anyone he needs to in order to help your case, and not take no from anyone and just keep pushing for justice on your behalf he is your attorney! I promise you, you will not be disappointed. My case was very difficult and long, and I had to go through some tough times with a conviction, then appeal and not once did Ryan lose hope or drive to keep fighting until we finally won. He is truly amazing!

Happy with results
I got in contact of Ryan through my sister who works at the law firm and he took care of my criminal case. I had a bench warrant and he first dealt with that, had it dropped and worked out a deal with the DA to drop the case once I finish my 60 hours of community service.

Great Customer Service
I called the Defenders on a weekend and someone was quick to respond to me. They were able to set-up an appointment the very next day. I didn’t have to pay for the initial consultation and customer service is excellent. They help you out with payment options too. Would highly recommend!
