    My son recently had a case that Ryan Helmick helped miraculously dismiss. Since everyone’s circumstances are different and a dismissal is never guaranteed, I would rather speak to Ryan’s character and work ethic. Outside of that case, I reached out one evening on a separate matter I could only consult with an attorney about—expecting (and willing) to be charged if he even happened to write back, and only if it was actually him and not an assistant. Instead, Ryan called me that evening, had a real conversation with me, and guided me in the right direction. The beauty of working with Ryan is that he cares. He’s willing to give his time, he doesn’t pass you off to someone else, and he is accessible. From the day we walked into his office I loved his work ethic. He had a busy week, still took us in, and it was clear he already had a lot on his plate—the evening he took my call was also well past his normal hours. You can tell he’s dedicated to his craft, and you have to respect that. Ryan is not passive. He is the type of attorney you want and need when you have to get things done and are not willing to go down without a fight. He is not aggressive in tone—his approach is aggressive in the best sense: he gets the job done, and he does it well. My review would be no different had the case turned out differently because you can show nothing but appreciation and respect for someone who works and cares like him.

    Ryan and his team were amazing throughout my whole experience. Super professional team, very available, kind and understanding. They are the best the entire process they handled everything and couldn’t be happier with the results. Branden always provided deep research and knowledge and I am just so happy I chose them. Thank you so much to The Defense Firm.

What Are Sexual Crimes?

Sex crimes can range from unwanted touching to more serious acts, most involving someone who says they didn’t agree to what happened. It’s a broad term that covers various actions, and each one has its own set of rules in the law.

Understanding Consent

Consent means agreeing to participate in a sexual act. If someone didn’t express consent or couldn’t consent, it’s taken seriously by the law. It gets complicated, which is why having a lawyer who knows all about these cases is important.

What should I do first if I'm accused of a sexual crime?

Contact a lawyer right away. It’s crucial to get legal advice before you do anything else.

Can I be charged with a sex crime even if it was a misunderstanding?

Yes, misunderstandings can lead to charges. We’re here to clarify what really happened and to represent your side.

What's the process after being accused of a sex crime?

You’ll go through an investigation, possibly arrest, and then court appearances. We want you to know that we will always be in your corner.

How can a sexual assault charge affect my future?

Beyond legal consequences, it can impact your job, reputation, and more. We fight to protect not just your present, but also your future.
