Areas We Serve
Helms Law Group is based in Fairhope, Alabama. Most of our clients are from Baldwin County and Mobile County, and Brent is licensed throughout the State of Alabama.
If you live in Baldwin or Mobile County, you can meet with Brent in person at our Fairhope office. If you live elsewhere in Alabama — or anywhere in the world, with Alabama property to protect — you can work with Brent by video or phone, with documents signed at the office or in a location that works for you.
Baldwin County
If you live in Baldwin County, you’re working with someone who practices here every day. Our office sits blocks from Mobile Bay in downtown Fairhope.
You’ll find Brent regularly working with families and business owners in Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort, Foley, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Bay Minette (the county seat), Robertsdale, Loxley, Silverhill, Summerdale, Magnolia Springs, Point Clear, Elberta, Lillian, Bon Secour, and Perdido Beach.
If you own coastal real estate, a vacation property you want to pass to your children, a second home in the area, or you’ve recently retired here from elsewhere — you’re in the situation most of our Baldwin County clients are in. The questions you’re asking are ones we’ve heard before.
Mobile County
If you live in Mobile County, you’re about a forty-minute drive from our office — or zero minutes if you’d rather meet by video or phone. The choice is yours.
Mobile County is a mix: established neighborhoods in the city, growing suburbs to the north and west, rural and coastal communities on the edges. If you’re a Mobile family or business owner, the planning concerns you’re weighing often involve multi-generational wealth, family-owned businesses passing between generations, or making sure a plan you put together years ago still works the way you intended.
You’ll find Brent regularly working with families and business owners in Mobile, Saraland, Satsuma, Semmes, Theodore, Tillmans Corner, Chickasaw, Creola, Citronelle, Mount Vernon, Grand Bay, Irvington, Dauphin Island, and Bayou La Batre.
Throughout Alabama
If you live elsewhere in Alabama, you can still work with Brent. He’s licensed throughout the state, and most of the work with clients outside Baldwin and Mobile counties happens by video and phone. Document signings are arranged at our Fairhope office or, when the situation calls for it, in your location.
You’ll find Brent working with clients in Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, Auburn, Opelika, Dothan, Decatur, Florence, Madison, Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, Homewood, Prattville, Pelham, Alabaster, Athens, Anniston, Gadsden, Selma, Enterprise, Phenix City, Cullman, and many smaller communities across the state.
The Alabama-specific content elsewhere on this site — how probate works, how intestacy distributes an estate when there is no will, how Alabama’s domestic asset protection trust statute applies, how the state handles Medicaid estate recovery — reflects the law that governs you regardless of which county you live in. The substance of the work doesn’t change with geography. What changes is convenience, and Brent works around that.
If you own Alabama property but live elsewhere
If you own real estate or personal property in Alabama but live out of state — or even outside the country — Brent can help you protect that property. The location of your Alabama assets matters more for planning purposes than where you live.
This comes up most often with second-home owners on the Gulf Coast, families who inherited Alabama property and now live elsewhere, business owners with Alabama-based operations who relocated, and snowbirds who spend part of the year here. If any of that describes you, the planning work can happen wherever you are.
