Very, very nice and helpful
Very considerate person. We had to obtain his services for a family matter and, from the onset, has made us very comfortable and confident that we are being well-represented. No fluff; cuts right to the chase. Also has top-notch staff. Highly recommended.

There is no substitute for experience
I have been working with Jim over the last 5 years. He has proven his attention to detail is paramount in presenting your case. Many times the judges are not aware of the law, so it's good to have an attorney that can move the process along. I would highly recommend Mr. Helms.

AMAZING ATTORNEY
Mr. Helms is an amazing experienced attorney. I had just lost my husband and all of a sudden found myself being sued, Mr. Helms walked me through every step and had patience and guidance for me, which I will never forget. Mr. Helms and all his staff are very compassionate and caring people. What ever...

Fantastic service
The office staff and Mr. Helms have been so helpful to me. I live out of state and without them, not sure what I would have done. Really reasonable prices.
