The Law Office of Gabrielle N. Helix
As a private full-service trial and appellate law practice, every client and their legal issue matters. We are dedicated to the needs of each of our clients and believe that what happens next, matters now. We strive to reach one’s objective as best as legally and ethically possible.
Because we are a small office, we are able to provide individual attention to all of our clients. Phone calls are returned and appointment hours are extremely flexible. We understand that our clients work, care for family and lead lives like we do; therefore, appointments are available after-hours and weekends.
Our office provides a wide range of legal services from criminal and family law practice to appellate representation.
Criminal law includes representation of adults and juveniles at the all trial levels. Felonies, misdemeanors, violations, traffic tickets, and probation revocations are included in criminal representation areas.
Family law includes all areas relating to your family, from parental rights delegation and adoption to dependency/foster care. Our office handles all areas of divorce, contested or by agreement (uncontested) along with custody, paternity, visitation and child support.
Estate and End of Life planning includes Wills, Codicils, and Trusts and Administration and Probate. Also included in this area is Health Care Directives commonly referred to as Living Wills, and Powers of Attorney with a health care proxies.
Civil law includes business formation such as limited liability company (LLC), partnership, and incorporation; simple property issues and disputes such as deed preparation, and property line issues; personal injury cases, and, contract law such as employment contracts, covenants not to compete, and other business contracts.
Appeals and Appellate areas of practice include adverse trial court decisions, protection of favorable ruling, post trial filings and intermediate judicial ruling reviews. Representation in this unique area of law demands attention to detail and strong writing abilities. Sucessful appellate representation requires a working knowledge of the appellate rules which are vastly different from the trial level and vary depending on which court is handling the appeal, such as the Civil or Criminal Court of Appeals or the Alabama Supreme Court.
We also provide employee handbook drafting for companies. We do not handle real estate closings and some civil matters. (For a full listing of legal services, please see Areas of Practice.)
Meeting all client needs is especially important to this office. If a client is suffering areas of their life, their legal matter may suffer. This means that if a client should need further assistance a referral can be made to another, more specialized attorney such as a bankruptcy attorney or a tax attorney. Additionally, if a client should need mental or physical health assistance or financial assistance, we are dedicated to helping clients find the appropriate resources.
