William W. Helsley

I have no words to describe how this attorney office handles case after case. In my personal experience Mr. Helsley and his staff became friends to me and my wife. The way he managed my case gave me an insight and confidence about the entire process. He was honest and candid throughout the whole time. I pray and hope that he continues practicing law for many years to come because he is wonderful to our Rockingham County.

My son had the blessing of being represented by Mr. Hesley in a complicated case consisting of multiple infractions and serious charges. I found Mr. Helsley to be honest, forthright and to the point. He probed well beyond the legal aspects of the charges to understand my son's background, the root cause of his decisions and actions, and the compass that governed his motivation and judgement. Mr. Helsley and his staff invested time and energy to understand the many facets and perspectives of all the parties in this matter. His forthright and unvarnished questions prompted my son to think deeply about his life and opened his eyes to consequences, previously unconsidered in the exuberance and blindness of youth. As a result of his diligence, Mr. Helsley developed an astonishing legal strategy and defense that proved to be a stellar success by all measures - truly a brilliant 'win-win' for all parties. The combination of Mr. Helsley's life-long wisdom, his decades of legal experience, and his strong relationships of mutual trust and respect with officials who serve the interests of the Commonwealth of Virginia, culminated in an outcome of this case that is far better than what my son merits or deserves. It avoids options that would have significantly restricted my son's potential and options for his future. Yet it assigns consequences for his actions and provides a path for redemption, sufficient to allow my son to learn valuable life lessons and make better life choices. Mr. Hesley and his amazing team are truly hidden treasures and unsung heroes, nestled in Harrisonburg, Virginia. However, they do not appear to suffer fools lightly. My advice is don't approach them if you just seek to get a charge behind you or if you just want to be 'one of many' in the shuffle of the legal system. Do not call them unless you are willing to face hard questions and are prepared to be completely honest, forthcoming, genuine in your relationship and earn their trust. If you choose them to represent you - and if they choose to accept you as a client - you will surely be in the sound hand and heart of a true 'Virginia Gentleman' surrounded with legal brilliance, sound character, and deep care - a rare combination.

If you want a lawyer who will do his absolute best for you, William is the one you need! He is a straight shooter and an all around great guy.
