She has also worked on cases with the Childrens Attorneys Project at the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada.
At Nevada Defense Group, Ms. Hellman handles the case of every single criminal client that walks through the door. From standard citations, simple misdemeanors, low-level felonies, juvenile proceedings, to charges carrying life sentences, Ms. Hellman works on each case closely with the defense team to achieve the best results possible for her clients. Outside of the courtroom, Ms. Hellman spends her free time cooking and baking (most often for her colleagues), reading, and enjoying time with her rescue dogs.

Incredibly happy with what they have been able to accomplish for me so far. Damian Sheets is extremely knowledgeable and aggressive when needed in the court room. Especially when it comes to shutting down false allegations and claims made against you. They were able to reassure me and give me a sense of ease knowing my case was in such good hands. Especially considering how incredibly busy his schedule was, but still made me feel like a priority. His paralegal Stace, is extremely nice and helpful as well. Definitely a firm I would recommend.

Extremely satisfied with the service my son and I received from this law firm as well as their paralegals. Matthew in particular was extremely helpful and was so accommodating of my requests and even went above and beyond - offering to check his email up to 10 pm(!!!) to allow my son to turn in some documents needed for their attorneys to present on my son’s behalf in court that following morning! He also always promptly responded to my emails and I sent quite a few. Damian was also very supportive and helpful from the very beginning - he even called me on a Saturday when I sent him an email add asking to be called. This law firm really cares about their clients!!! I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.
