About Helen
Helen Wallace is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and in Ohio. She has been active in the Dayton legal community for years and has held roles that intersect law and public policy. Her professional record includes leadership in bar association work and steady private practice.
Early in her public-facing work she took on a leadership post in the Dayton Bar Association. From 2008 to 2009 she served as chair of the association's Juvenile Law Committee. In that capacity she worked with fellow attorneys and community stakeholders on committee projects and programming tied to juvenile justice issues. The role placed her at the center of local efforts to address the needs of young people who come into contact with the court system.
Wallace’s admissions reflect a broad doorway to appellate practice. Admission to the U.S. Supreme Court is a credential some attorneys carry even if they spend most of their careers in state courts. In Ohio she handles matters that arise under state law and she maintains the ability to appear where higher court review is required.
Her private practice is based under the office name Lawyer at Law. That practice has involved courtroom work, client counseling and case preparation in Ohio courts. She has combined litigation tasks with committee service and local bar activity. The committee work helped shape programming and offered a venue to discuss legislative and procedural developments affecting juveniles.
Colleagues describe her as engaged in local bar affairs and attentive to the practical demands of cases that touch on family and juvenile issues. She has moved between casework and association duties without stepping into public office. Her experience in the Dayton Bar Association’s Juvenile Law Committee remains a notable element of her record.
She currently concentrates her practice on juvenile law matters in Ohio.
