State Laws Vary
James Helm (Helm Law Group, LLC) is licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania and Arizona. Lawsuits.com may refer prospective clients to other law firms located throughout the country, who form relationships with Lawsuits.com, and are experienced in handling such cases. Lawsuits.com may also undertake legal representation in certain cases, and will take joint representation with other legal counsel located in applicable jurisdictions throughout the country to provide legal representation. The laws of each State are different. The Site contains information about general or common rules that apply in some states. The Site also contains information about verdicts or settlements in past cases. You cannot assume that the same rules apply, or that the same result would occur, in your state or any particular state. The Statute of Limitations is especially important. Every state has laws called the “statute of limitations” which set a deadline to file a lawsuit. That means that a lawsuit filed too late may be thrown out, regardless of the defendant’s fault or the severity of the injuries. Some states have a two-year period for negligence injury claims; the time period in other states may be longer or shorter. Insurance policies, particularly homeowners insurance, may require that suit be filed within one year of a loss. Some states allow claims against government agencies, but require a written notice very soon after the accident, perhaps within three months. Because investigation and research is needed to identify all possible defendants and theories of recovery, if you have an accident or injury, you should consult a lawyer as soon as possible.
Lawsuits.com Clients
Only individuals who have entered into a mutually signed retainer agreement with Helm Law Group, LLC are clients (“Lawsuits.com Clients”). Lawsuits.com takes commercially reasonable measures to secure and protect the information that we collect.

Advertising Disclosures
Some materials on the Site may constitute lawyer advertising. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision, and it should never be based solely upon an advertisement. Before making your choice of any attorney, you should give this matter careful thought. The selection of an attorney is an important decision.

And no representation is made that the legal services to be performed are greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.

No representation is made here about your specific rights. Every case is different and must be judged on its own merits. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Contingent attorney fees are negotiable and not set by law. Costs and fees are charged only upon monetary recovery. Not available in all states. Cases may be handled in association with, or referred to, other law firms as co-counsel or referral counsel. Only the law firm’s non-lawyer staffed call center is open 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.
