Practical IT & Cybersecurity Support for Small Law Firms

Helmlight Consulting LLC was created to give solo attorneys and small law firms access to professional, secure IT and cybersecurity help — without the high cost or lock-in of a managed service provider.

Built on a Single Idea: Keep It Secure, Simple, and On Your Time

You shouldn’t need a full-time IT department to get reliable, secure, and responsive support. That’s why I offer flat-fee, one-time services delivered after-hours or on weekends, so they don’t disrupt your workday.

Whether you’re dealing with slow computers, missing backups, or want better protection from phishing and ransomware, I’ll help you get secure and back to work — no contracts, no jargon, no overengineering.

Why the Name “Helmlight”?

It’s a nod to both my last name and the idea of shining a light on areas that are often overlooked — like outdated backups, unsecured routers, or unpatched devices. I help uncover hidden risks, fix what’s broken, and leave you with systems that just work.

Meet the Founder

My name is Eric Helms, and I’ve worked in legal IT for over 25 years, supporting faculty, staff, and administration at the UNC School of Law. I understand the tools attorneys rely on, the ethical obligations around client data, and how frustrating it is when technology gets in the way of doing your job.

Cybersecurity Background:

🔐 GSEC Certified (GIAC Security Essentials Certification)
🔎 Experienced with Qualys Vulnerability Scanning and Firewall Management
💾 Proficient in Data Backup, Recovery and Endpoint Protection

Let's Secure Your Systems - On Your Schedule

I offer focused, one-time services that fit your firm’s real needs. Whether you're just getting started or need to fix what’s not working, I’ll help you build a more secure, reliable setup — without the commitment of monthly plans.
