A Commitment to Affordable, Personal Service
The law firm is dedicated to providing personal service to every one of their clients. Harris & Helwig's partners all come from a background in public service, and are committed to making the law firm a place where representation is provided to all clients with meritorious Social Security and employment claims — without regard to their ability to pay a legal fee. In most cases, we represent clients on a contingent fee basis, which means that we do not charge an hourly rate for our services, but we are paid by receiving a percentage of your award, if you win your case.
Harris & Helwig also offers mediation services for civil cases in state and federal courts, as well as for matters that have yet to be filed in the court system. Peter Helwig is certified by the Florida Supreme Court to serve as a court-appointed mediator in civil cases in the circuit courts of the state of Florida. He is also certified by the U.S. District (federal) Court for the Middle District of Florida to serve as a court-appointed mediator in cases filed in that court. If you have a civil dispute that needs the help of a certified mediator, contact our firm today.
