Neutral Profile

Personal injury attorney James Helm is the founder of TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers. James grew up playing sports 24/7. Whether it was football, wrestling, or baseball – James has always loved to compete. He’s taken that same competitive nature and applied it to the courtroom fighting for his clients and building TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers from the ground up into the powerhouse law firm it is today. James Helm had always excelled in his endeavors and envisioned himself as someone destined for success in college and his career. However, his life took a dark turn due to an addiction to prescription painkillers that plagued him from the ages of 17 to 25. Determined to reclaim his life, James committed to sobriety in 2016, seeking help through outpatient rehab and a twelve-step program. Since then, he has remained sober, achieving academic success, and ultimately founding his law firm, TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers. You need a dedicated personal injury attorney when you or a loved one suffers injuries in an accident. James along with his team of experienced attorneys can help you get the compensation you deserve if you need to file claims regarding Car Accidents, Truck Accidents, Slip & Fall, Medical Malpractice, Wrongful Death, and more.
