Exclusively Practicing in Criminal Law Since 1984
If you have been charged with a crime, you need a qualified, experienced, and aggressive defense lawyer who will fight for you. The law office of Robert Michael Helfend, Attorney at Law, is here for you. I am federal and state criminal defense attorney Robert M. Helfend, and I want to explain why I am different from many other defense attorneys. I have focused my experience exclusively in the area of criminal defense law since I began practicing in the Los Angeles area in 1984. I have successfully defended people who have been charged with misdemeanors as minor as petty shoplifting and felonies as major as murder. No matter what your charges are, I take your defense seriously. You should, too.
Effective Criminal Defense Takes More Than Experience
When it comes to effective criminal defense, experience isn't enough. I have also earned a reputation for success, integrity in the courts, and an intelligent, hard-nosed approach to fighting for my clients' best interests and rights. I won't judge you, and I will use plain English to explain the law, the possible penalties, and how your decisions will affect the outcome of your case. You will always know exactly what the prosecutors are up to, what strategies we will use, and how your case is progressing.
Federal criminal defense: I provide experienced and effective defense for federal felony charges in federal district courts throughout the U.S. I have the experience to anticipate and respond to the federal prosecutor's tactics.
State crimes: My experience includes more than 20 years of representing people charged with murder, robbery, drug crimes, sex crimes, assault, theft, "three strikes" offenses, and all other felony and misdemeanor crimes in state and municipal courts throughout Southern California.
My Results Are a Measure of My Effectiveness in Court
At the end of the day, a defense attorney must be measured against his track record: If you can't win in court, it doesn't matter how good you are in the research library or forensic lab. My record speaks for itself. No tricks. No lies. No promises. Just rock-solid, tough, and effective criminal defense that fights every step of the way to have your charges dropped or reduced to an acceptable outcome. It's your future.
