Amazing

I cannot express how much I appreciate Patrick Helwig!! I had student loans that got lost in company buyouts and my moving around throughout the years, and out of the blue I get sued by some company I'd never heard of. I am an honest person, and if I owed them money...i want to pay them, but P...atrick went above and beyond, and was able to see settle for well under half of what they said I owed them. He was such a pleasure to work with. I feel like I owe Patrick more money than he charged me for his services. Thank you so much Patrick for making this crazy situation stress free and renew my faith in attorneys who are actually out there to help people like me.

Patrick is a Must Hire!

Without going into much details, Patrick was able to reduce a debt settlement drastically due to a paperwork filing error on the debt collector. I've sent many people to Pat since then and will definitely hire him again if needed. You will get a professional attorney if you hire Mr Helwig!

Skilled - Knowledgeable Consumer lawyer who stops collection harassment

Patrick Helwig helped me out on a consumer collection abuse case almost ten years ago. Along with Peter Barry we achieved one of the most successful results for our clients, in my career as a consumer lawyer. Since then Patrick has honed his skills to be an excellent and competent litigator in resear...ching the law, writing briefs and persuading the courts of the merits of his clients’ cases. He is diligent, ethical, polite and smart. Patrick gets the job done!

Highly Recommended

Patrick Helwig represented my son on a recent case after we were referred to him. Prior to contacting Patrick, we had no idea how to proceed to get resolution to the issue. During our first correspondence with Patrick, we were instantly put at ease and given a sense of direction to the situation. ...He answered all of our many questions promptly and kept in constant contact. Patrick was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He explained everything in a way and at a level we could clearly comprehend. We were continually kept up to date on the status of the case. Patrick was able to take a very difficult and stressful situation and help us to a positive resolution. We are very grateful for Patrick's patience and expertise during this situation. We would highly recommend Patrick Helwig.
