at your service

Here to help

At your service is a formal or mock-formal way of offering help or announcing one's readiness to assist: How may I help you? I am at your service.

It often accompanies introductions in a theatrical or old-fashioned manner: "James Bond, at your service".

The phrase can be ironic, suggesting servility or excessive deference.
