We Try Cases. Trial Lawyers — For the People's Defense
Federal & State Crimes | Immigration Crimes | White Collar Crimes | Appeals
At Helms, Roberts & Diaz LLP, we are trial lawyers who provide criminal defense for clients throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. We are committed to protecting the rights of everyday people who have been accused of serious criminal offenses or immigration crimes in Dallas County and the surrounding area.
The cultural diversity of our firm is genuine and reflects the diversity of our clients. We defend people from all walks of life, backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures who are in need of serious, effective defense.
We strive to protect our clients' rights and to promote justice by making ethical, experienced, and effective representation accessible. Justice for all - not just for some. Call (214) 800-2086 or e-mail us.
Our practice involves representing people accused of federal and state crimes that include robbery, drug trafficking, fraud, firearms possession, DWI/DUI, immigration crimes such as unlawful transport of illegal aliens across international borders, and white collar crimes.
Large Firm Sophistication and Results — Small Firm Fees
Before coming together for a unified purpose, our lawyers spent many years practicing law at some of the nation's most respected law firms. We are leaders in our communities, born and raised in Texas. Our deep understanding of Dallas County's many diverse communities only enhances our ability to advocate for our clients.
Former Federal Prosecutor Who Never Lost a Trial or Appeal
John Helms is a former federal prosecutor who never lost a trial or appeal. He is a former partner in two of the most prestigious law firms in the country and was named "Rising Star" by Thomson Reuters as published in Texas Monthly magazine in 2005 and as one of "The Best Lawyers Under 40 in Dallas" in D magazine in 2004.
Real Trial Experience
Attorney R. Ritch Roberts offers what many litigation firms cannot - real trial experience. Many firms offer litigators who have never stood before a jury and fought for their clients. In contrast, Mr. Roberts has personally tried over a dozen contested trials and has been involved with numerous other trial teams. We know how to understand your particular issues and how to successfully present your case to a judge or jury.
Pre-Trial Experience
In addition to our trial experience, we know that pre-trial can make or break both a case and a budget. Civil discovery (the process of gathering facts, producing documents, taking depositions, etc.) is an important process that will shape the issues for trial. Discovery can also be the most expensive part of litigation, however. We have access to technology, techniques, and experience that can help you maximize discovery's benefits while managing its costs.
Time is Of the Essence
If you have a legal problem or need legal counseling, contact an attorney as soon as possible. If too much time passes before you retain an attorney, your case can be much harder to win, court can rule against you, or you can lose your rights altogether. Don't delay. Contact us today!

It is important that you call a lawyer as soon as you have been arrested, or even if you suspect that you are under investigation for a criminal act. Do not talk to the police unless you have a lawyer present. Please call us to learn more about your rights when it comes to criminal matters and how we can help to protect those rights.
