Some cases stay with you long after the judge dismisses the charges. Shay's son was one of those clients for Joye, Nappier, Risher, & Hardin LLC.
“Mr. Chris Helms was amazing! He did everything he told us he would and more. His paralegal was great too. I hope my son doesn't need an attorney again, but if he does we will be coming back to see Mr. Helms for sure. Trust me, if you are in trouble, call him!” – Shay
A Young Life Put on Hold by False Allegations
Shay’s son faced criminal charges while he attended college. The accusations did not match who he was, and he needed someone to stand up in court and say so. The only help this young man needed was getting past these false allegations and back to his life and education.
The case ended with the charges dismissed. He returned to school with his head held high. Today, he lands on the Dean’s List on a regular basis and continues to build the future he earned through hard work.
A Vocal Advocate in the Courtroom
Criminal defense at Joye, Nappier, Risher, & Hardin LLC centers on people, not just paperwork. In this case, that meant putting time and resources into telling the full story of a student who had done nothing wrong.
As Mr. Helms put it: “It was an honor to represent that young man. This was a case where a young person was accused of something he absolutely did not do, and needed a vocal advocate in the courtroom. We were proud to put our reputation and resources on the line for such an upstanding client and would do it again.”
That pride flows from seeing a client walk back onto campus with a clear record, ready to move forward. For a young person, the justice system can feel overwhelming. A steady guide and strong voice in court can make the process easier to face.
Criminal Defense with the Future in Mind
The team at Joye, Nappier, Risher, & Hardin LLC treats every client like a neighbor. That means listening closely, explaining each step, and focusing on what comes next. In Shay’s son’s case, that “next” was school, career, and a name cleared of accusations.
The hope for him, and for every young person who passes through a courtroom, is simple: that this moment becomes a brief detour, not a dead end.
