Nobody Fights For You Like Family

My wife and I hired the Helmer-Friedman firm after being mistreated from an employer. Greg and Andrew's knowledge and experience is so incredibly vast they informed of of actually how many violations had incurred during our employment---which was way more than we knew. You may think you know your ful...l rights, but you don't. They do! These situations always tend to get personally uncomfortable very fast, especially for women. Greg and Andrew genuinely do care for you and you can feel it. Opening up to them is actually easier than to your own family. Thats exactly how they fight for you---like family. I have known lawyers all over the country in many different specialties, Greg and Andrew are BY FAR the ONLY firm I would ever go back to for anything!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
