Unnecessarily overcharges for mediations because both parties have to dispute, so when one party calls attention and refuses to pay from being over charged. They file a motion to intervene in your case, getting a default judgement even though you disputed the charge in writing. Retire the firm please. The lazy court just gives them these cases due to the racquet system in the civil court system in Allen County.

I'm not sure what I can say about an attorney that won't get me sued, but I don't recommend this place.
Ok, I'll say it - I saw this guy as a free service of my EAP. He talked for two hours about mostly things that didn't pertain to me, then I got a bill in the mail for over $500 for MY TIME THAT HE WASTED. He had lunch stains down his suit and was missing buttons, he may need the 500 bucks more than me. His wife is the clerk of courts and now he has all my personal information, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to get sued for the balance of my "free consultation" but that's the kind of place this

My name is Patti White (formerly Anderson) and I have known Susan L. Rutz for several years and she has been a personal champion for me and my family. Her attention to detail, professionalism, determination and supreme competence were always on display. I can honestly say that without the help of Susan as my lawyer my life would be dramatically different. I owe Susan a debt of gratitude that I can never repay, not only for her exemplary performance as my legal representative, but for her wisdom and confidence that she bled into my being. And lastly let me say that because of Susan L. Rutz, Helmke

My personal experience with Helmke Beams LLP has been with Susan Rutz.
From the first time we had our initial interview she was totally dedicated to our situation. We never felt she was more interested in more important matters. Out situation was always "THAT IMPORTANT MATTER". Our son was fighting for custody of his boys. Their mother had decided to move to New Hampshire and thought the two children should come with her. Fighting to be a single father he feared it could not possibly happen. After all, mothers always win, right! Not this time.
After assembling all the facts and fighting one tough

Trina Gould and Helmke Beams have been assisting my husband Leon and me with our legal concerns for almost 20 years. We haven’t needed a lawyer’s services that often; however, those various times we have, we found Trina to be not only unquestionably knowledgeable and professional but also down to earth, sincere, and personable. She has been gracious and caring; she listens carefully, always offering excellent advice and feedback, making us feel as if we are the most important clients she has. In assisting us, she has been thorough and efficient in addressing our needs. We would never consider

This firm is shallow since the partners have passed. It’s ran by Dan Borgmann who is arguably somewhere between an ambulance chasing attorney and a bow legged failed judicial candidate. Thankfully the voters have kept him from serving as an elected judge.
