Harry is very good. If you are looking for a buddy to talk to, it's not him. Sit back and let the process begin. You are not going to here much from him. Your case will be continued several times. He wants the right judge for your case. Harry will get all the facts he can gather and remember most of us are guilty of what we are being accused of. He is not a miracle worker. I was lucky to have him. If you got the money get him. If you don't, do not, get your nickle and dime guy to represent you.

I used Harry for a dui and my ex-wife did as well. Both times he beat it. He came out of nowhere at the end of each trial with information and questions for the prosecution or police that they could not answer or refute. Cases were dismissed at that point both times. This was in the nineties so if he has lost a step I cannot speak to that. He was a DEFINITE use back then.

To say the least, I made a huge mistake in choosing Harry to represent my boyfriend in the state of Kentucky for his criminal case. We had several threats made by the prosecuting attorney that the case would go federal if we considered looking into a better lawyer. Harry reassured me several times this case would not go federal. I was so sure I was making the right decision for my boyfriend that I had him speak with Harry over the phone to reassure him there was no reason to worry about the case going federal. At that point I paid Harry a retainment fee of 5,000.00 dollars! He stated that the entire case would run us about 7,500.00. Throughout the entire process of Harry representing him, he was no where to be found. He met with the inmate on one occasion and that was it. We were never able to get ahold of him via phone and his assistant failed to disclose his schedule half the time. She would take message after message and we would never receive a call back but she was very consistent

First let's acknowledge lawyers are not miracle workers. I've used Harry twice and although there were things I wish he had done differently the guy is straight forward. Most citizens seeking council are at the mercy of the justice system. As we all know guilty or not guilty there is no justice in the justice system. To blame it all on your lawyer is incredulous. As for my experience I thought I was fairly represented. A bit pricey, in my opinion. Fair none the less. Not over the top by any means but overall he's a good, fair lawyer.

Harry Hellings is an EXCELLENT lawyer! He has several years of experience, is very professional, intelligent, and without a doubt, the man you want fighting for you. He has represented me more than once and words can't express my gratitude. Haven't had the pleasure to work with Hellings Jr., however If he is half as good as the ol man, you can't go wrong! Sincerely, Vickie M.

Worst experience of my life. Mr. Hellings is cruising on his (long since tarnished) reputation. Once I ponied up the $1500 retainer & another $250 for the drug & alcohol classes that he strongly suggested I attend, My guess is that he figured he had his yacht payment covered, so it was on to the next unsuspecting chump. By the way- he had advised me that the classes were "about $100"...I'm guessing that he gets a kickback. Lazy, arrogant, & seemed to be intoxicated more often than not. Told me that worst case scenario, I would get my lic. back 5/21 (3rd court date). I only got my hardhip lic. back yesterday- looks like he forgot(?) to file the paperwork but, of course he blamed it on the judge. Being damn near 60 yrs old & never in trouble with the law before, the fine & fees were another $1000. I also spent 25 hrs in the 3rd world Campbell Cty Jail. Convicted of DUI & reckless. Not even that buzzed-was 2 mins from home-car swerved due to bad ball joint. CHRONIC LIAR.

Harry is the best DUI lawyer in northern ky hands down. I don't know where all these negative reviews are coming from or who is writing them, but I can share this. I paid harry in full and on time. I understand he is a very busy individual and if he has assistants do his paperwork and run errands so what. He was in the court room when I needed him and he blew the case out of the water. His knowledge and experience are invaluable. This is the second time I've hired harry and I wouldn't think of anyone else in northern ky.

Harry is the worst!! I gave that man close to a $1,000.00, and he didn't do a thing. When i retained him, I asked his secretary Lisa, will he take payments on the balance, she said " as long as you pay him something you will be fine. When I told Harry this, he said she shuold not have said that, and I yold him well she did......He withdrew as my counsel because I could not have the balance paid by my court date. He left me high and dry!!! Run as fast as you can from him, he doesn't car about his clients on the money!!

Horrible attorney. Took $15,000, missed hearings, was not prepared for trial, tells his clients to come up with a defense. Doesn't do anything on the case. Lies and doesn't care about you or your case. Refused to allow client to see file. After months of doing nothing, told client that they would have probation and ended up getting five years on a plea deal for a first time marijuana offender. He needs to reimburse his clients for not providing an expensive service or be disbarred for shady practice and not protecting his clients interest.

Harry Hellings has been my lawyer for years. He has never failed me; in fact is responsible for my getting a second chance. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Hellings failed to meet deadlines imposed by the EPA which complicated dealing with EPA. When he abandoned us, we dealt face to face with the EPA and were exonerated in seven weeks, where it had taken Mr. Hellings three years and no progress occurred.

I should have known better. After reading the other negative reviews on this guy, I still took the chance of using him because he seemed to know what he is doing. I got to know Harry very well so I'll give you the run down as to how he works. He is a pretty smart guy and knows the Kenton County courts like the back of his hand. He has been working in the courts forever and knows all the judges and prosecutors. You would think this would make him great. Unfortunately he puts out no effort and will lie to you constantly. He charged me well over $3000 dollars to fight a misdemeanor that not only did I not commit, but they had no evidence on me. After months of doing nothing (he couldn't even get me a simple police report) or return most my calls. He then pretended he worked out a deal, when actually he had done nothing. He tried to get me to take a guilty plea so that he could take his money and run with very little effort and very little time. He is a shady old man. Stay away

I used him for my first DUI, we went to jury trial and the man was extraordinary! He looked at my case from every angle and got me acquitted of all my charges. He is quiet, straight to the point, no BS type of lawyer. I highly recommend him if you want the job done. He razzled and dazzled in the court room... needless to say I was (still am) very impressed. He came highly recommended too and is well respected in system!

He only takes your money and runs. Cuts deals with judges and the other side to not have to put forth effort on cases so to him it's easy money.

He is a very bad lawyer and has drinking issues as well. He doesn't file things when he says he does and won't stand behind his clients. He is more about the money than anything. He won't fight for his clients. He doesn't visit them in jail or give you your papers and let you know what he has done. Plesas save yourself the time and heartache with this lawyer. He has left a friend of mine in jail and the man has never been in trouble a day in his life. Got him the max sentence then never applied for shock probation and let time pass by so there was know way someone else could have done it. Didn't go speak with him in the jail either and its in walking distance of his office. This man will take your money and run. He was also paid in full even before he started on the case. He talked this friend into taking a six yr plead deal when he has never even had a speeding ticket. Now is that fighting for your client? To me that is taken the easy way out and giving up and not even trying to win
