"I can’t recommend The Defense Firm highly enough. Team displayed exceptional professionalism and responsiveness every step of the way. Ryan is sharp in the courtroom but also compassionate and supportive through the entire process. After dealing with many law firms that lack communication and attention, it is refreshing to find a team that is reliable."

"I highly recommend attorney Ryan Helmick and his team at The Defense Firm. From the moment they took on our case about four months ago, the level of professionalism, compassion, and dedication has been outstanding. Ryan and his entire staff were always communicative, making sure I was up to date every step of the way. I never had to wonder what was going on they made sure I understood everything and always encouraged me to reach out if I had questions or needed support. Ryan himself was not only an excellent attorney but also a genuinely kind and understanding person. He treated our situation with care and worked hard to get us a great negotiation. Thanks to him, we can finally move forward, and I’m incredibly grateful for the outcome he helped achieve for my family member. If you’re ever in need of a strong, reliable, and compassionate criminal defense attorney, I highly suggest reaching out to the defense firm. They truly deserve all the recognition for the amazing work they do. THANK YOU RYAN & THE DEFENSE TEAM 🫶🏽💖"
