Eric is exceptionally intelligent, ethical, professional, and will do everything in his power to bring justice to his clients. He was always available to help, even on weekends. Character traits of empathy and compassion can feel scarce in a legal battle. Eric's benevolent character and generosity were a breath of fresh air for me and my wife. I was going through a terrible time related to an employment matter. A financial fraud I faced held me hostage to my job. Eric helped me get through this difficult time, helping me with a financial matter that allowed me the freedom and courage to leave the job. The litigation lasted for two long years due to unbelievably egregious behaviors of the defendants. But Eric got us the outcome me and my wife deserved. In fact, I would say we got a lot more in judgement that we had hoped for. We owe this success to Eric. Eric got a 7-digit judgement for me and 7-digit judgment for my wife. Eric knew how to convince the judge, though this did require a lot of work and strategy. We highly recommend Eric Helmy without any reservations.

Eric's dedication and expertise reflect the high standards at Northwest Business Law LLC. Delighted to hear about your successful outcome.

Eric Helmy is an exceptional attorney with expertise in several domains of law including but not limited to business law, employment law, malpractice law. My wife and I sought Eric’s counsel in the business law domain. We found Eric to be deeply compassionate, professional, empathetic, and intelligent. We were dealing with very seasoned and predatory fraudsters who dodged service, avoided depositions, willfully disregarded court order for discovery, and used every legal loophole available to play the court and the legal system. Eric helped us get substantial judgements (two independent judgements worth millions of dollars - cumulatively worth 10 Million) despite the several challenges involving many defendants across different states. On other legal matters also, Eric was always prompt to render his professional input free of charge, always availing himself - for hours! I don’t know of many attorneys that share their personal cell phone with their clients. Eric was always available when we needed him, and even when we had financial difficulty. He is a very gifted writer for legal documents/motions. He is aggressive, strategic, and adaptable to ever changing situations in a highly treacherous legal matter. I highly recommend him. He is in a regal class of attorneys - he is sophisticated. As a cancer specialty MD physician who is interested in pursuing law school, I can say Eric has many commendable qualities as an attorney and as a human that one can look up to.

We're glad Eric Helmy's expertise in business law made a positive impact on your case here at Northwest Business Law LLC.

Eric has been wonderful to work with during the course of my case and I would definitely recommend him. He has shown immense compassion while also instilling a professional attitude with me at all times. He is communicative and answers all of my questions, of which there are many, to the fullest. As a client I highly recommend that you ask questions and keep a detailed schedule for yourself. He is always willing to make time to talk, even if it has to wait a few days, and I’m grateful for how he is handling my case. Eric is kind, compassionate and professional. He is helping me through one of the hardest times of my life and I’m truly grateful he chose to take my case.

Response from owner

Thank you so much for your kindness, Marion. It's an honor to help guide you through this challenging time. Cheers and be well, Eric

Eric is extremely knowledgeable, intelligent, and highly experienced about how the court system works. He is ethical, professional, and knew which strategies would yield the best possible outcome for our complex case.

Response from owner

Thank you very much for your kindness, Danielle. It's a pleasure to be of service. We always take great satisfaction from helping good people who have suffered significant harm at the hands of others.

I had a consultation call with Eric that blew me out of the water. Over almost an hour that I was not charged for, Eric was compassionate to a an enormously painful issues, while being incisive about what was legally actionable and what was not. He broke down costs of any potential legal action in stages, and made suggestions about what exactly I would need to bring as strong a case as possible. The strengths and weaknesses of my case were clearly outlined in a way that allowed me to make a informed decision about whether to proceed. If this is how Eric treats prospective clients, I can't imagine the skill and consideration his paying clients receive.

Response from owner

Thank you so much for your kindness, Colleen. You've really made my day. Cheers, Eric

(Update*) If you don't have bill gates level kind of income don't expect any kind of help from this place whatsoever. This place is not for the middle class/regular folk or if you're poor(due to financial loss being the basis of your case). This company is more concerned with getting paid than winning a case. Thankfully, I've found help from another law firm who agreed to take my case. That don't consider a big corporation committing contempt of court, in the superior court "negligible damages". But, nice to know that your firm does. Future customers, keep that in mind as well. Glad to know Northwest business law firm put so much effort in responding to a Google review, rather than putting that effort in listening to a customer explain their case. PS: when* and it's pop culture* just so you know.

Response from owner

Sadly, popular culture and insurance industry propaganda has convinced many people that they are entitled to millions of dollars in compensation even where they have suffered negligible damages. The system doesn't work that way.

Eric was not able to represent my husband and I due to many variables but he did provide us with alternative options! He responded to my request for assistance within 10 minutes and took the time to hear our whole story leading up to the unfortunate circumstance and then proceeded to offer alternative options for recourse. So happy I called his office! We now have a clear cut path forward…

Our experience with Eric Helmy was great. We consulted with him and even offered to pay for his services but he declined. He gave us a lot of great information and was honest and up front with us. I would not hesitate to hire him if we ever needed his services moving forward. It's rare to find a lawyer who genuinely wants to help and empower you in unfortunate situations.

I hired Mr. Helmy in four cases. Not only he lost them all, he missed ALL the deadlines for ALL discoveries, witnesses, and depositions. I had to step into trials in the four cases washout any witnesses, deposition, or discovery. He took his fees by flat rate in advance and all he did was lies. I got sanctions in two cases because I gave him the answers for questions asked by the adversary and he forgot to submit them for several months till the judges ruled against me without giving me any opportunity to talk because my attorney was supper moron. Mr. Helmy DID NOT WIN A SINGLE MOTION in the four cases for almost the entire year. In one case against Chase bank, he got the full payment for his fees, and he forgot to submit the notice of appearance to the court. I got a default judgment because of his gross negligence. A huge malpractice lawsuit is coming soon against this quack. We reviewed his history, it's incredibly astonishing that he kept doing the same mistakes for twenty years. Hopefully, this time, he won't get a way without tens of millions of dollars damages and punitive damages.

Response from owner

Dr. Wise is not being truthful. We did not lose “all four” of his cases. None of them went to trial or summary judgment on our watch, because his conduct made that impossible.<br><br>The public record is clear: Dr. Wise caused an irreconcilable conflict of interest, which forced us to withdraw from representing him and his company as to all matters. This was mandatory per the testimony of ethics counsel.<br><br>Contrary to his assertions regarding our competency, Dr. Wise actively fought to retain us as counsel after creating the conflict of interest. In doing so, he publicly testified before the two courts listed below (plus an arbitrator privately) that he retained confidence in Mr. Helmy’s capabilities and wanted to keep NWBizLaw engaged as counsel. Our motions to withdraw were granted on all matters.<br><br>To avoid prejudice to Dr. Wise upon our withdrawal, we properly requested trial continuances on his behalf so that he would enough time to secure replacement counsel. This was granted in all cases.<br><br>Dr. Wise is also being untruthful in relating that we lost “every motion.” To the contrary, we brought the client’s long-deficient discovery into compliance and defeated our opponent’s discovery motions in German Wise Dental v. Haghighi (in arbitration). Dr. Wise did lose a motion to compel discovery and was sanctioned in Cooper v. German Wise Dental. What he did not reveal is that the plaintiff moved to have him sanctioned for failing to materially participate in discovery, where he had testified in deposition that responding to discovery in the matter was not worth his time.<br><br>It is true that an order of default was entered against Dr. Wise on the 4th matter due to a clerical error with the filing of our Answer. However, this was easily reversible under procedural rules. We were in the process of curing that error – at no cost to the client - when Dr. Wise’s creation of the conflict of interest prevented our doing so.<br><br>The full records of proceedings – including the plaintiffs’ allegations against Dr. Wise - are publicly available under the following case numbers:<br><br>Covington v. German Wise Dental et al., US District Court, W. Dist. WA, Case No: 3:20-cv-06173<br>Cooper v. German Wise Dental et al., WA Superior Court for Cowlitz Co., Case No: 20-2-00404-08<br><br>The third matter, German Wise Dental v. Haghighi, was in arbitration, so its records are not publicly available. Former opposing counsel can be contacted for corroboration of our account upon request.<br><br>Thank you for reading.

I am a professional mediator who mediates disputes in the civil justice system. As a mediator who has mediated numerous cases and an attorney for decades, I encountered Mr. Helmy in a very complex case when he represented one of the parties in the case I was mediating. I was greatly impressed by his thorough preparation not only for me as the mediator but with his clients who had to understand the substantial difficulties of their case. It was obvious to me his clients though in a very difficult situation had full faith in him and that he had clearly and honestly discussed the risks they faced if they could not negotiate an agreed upon resolution. He worked hard. He communicated clearly. And, helped his clients through a very difficult process seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

In 2013 I was sued for 2.5M on a baseless claim with no evidence to support the claim. I chose to not respond to the courts or the plaintiff. In April of 2017, I contacted Eric Helmy to restructure my business and in doing so, Eric convinced me fighting the case was the correct move. In April 2017, Eric became my friend and attorney. July 2018, Eric walked into a deposition prepared to end the case. In less than 4 hours of deposing the plaintiff, a full admittance of false statements was achieved. The wizardry Eric has in his craft to problem solve, conductive reason and thoroughly understand his client is phenomenal. Eric had the entire lawsuit dismissed and gave me back freedom over my life. If you are looking for an attorney to methodically and decisively resolve any legal needs, hire him. I’ve spent $250k on legal fees with other attorneys and never saw an ounce of the passion and drive Eric has to win a case. There are plenty of lawyers who can win a case, only a handful In the world can do it with such class and articulation as Eric Helmy.
