Ventura Criminal Defense Attorney
Aggressive Legal Defense in Ventura County
In the face of criminal charges or even an investigation by state or federal law enforcement, you need a Ventura
criminal defense attorney who will provide you with aggressive and knowledgeable legal counsel. My name is Robert Michael Helfend, and I have been practicing criminal law since 1984. With more than 20 years of experience in this field, I understand the ins and outs of the legal process. I know how the prosecution thinks. I know what mistakes are commonly made by law enforcement officers as they conduct investigations, surveillance and sting operations. Therefore, I know how to expose these in order to build a compelling case on behalf of the clients I represent. My skills can be put to work at every stage of the legal system, from local court hearings to state court trials, and all the way up to the
national federal courts.
Charges of a criminal nature are some of the most severe that any legal proceeding will see. That being said, there is justifiable cause to seek sound legal counsel in your defense as soon as possible after you have been arrested and charged with any type of criminal offense. From charges of burglary to
identity theft to
murder, the odds of escaping conviction could substantially increase with legal defense on your side. I know this, as I have spent the past 25 years and beyond defending the criminally accused in Ventura and surrounding counties. I have experience representing those who have incurred charges of
domestic violence,
DUI,
insider trading,
armed robbery, and
grand theft, just to name a few. For this reason, you should not hesitate to call me to discuss the criminal charges that have been made in your name. I don't care whether you are facing embezzlement, fraud, armed robbery, or internet crime charges – if you need legal help, I am here to provide it.
Criminal Attorney Serving Defendants in Ventura, CA
A conviction for any type of criminal offense has the potential to have serious and lasting consequences for a defendant and thier family. In addition to the original term of imprisonment that may be imposed, the defendant will have to live with a criminal record that has the potential to ruin his/her career and reputation. The defendant may also face fines, community service, probation, mandatory drug rehabilitation and sex offender registration.
With my experience as a criminal defense lawyer, I truly understand the tremendous impact that a conviction or even an arrest may have on your future. I am committed to helping clients throughout Ventura with their cases, handling all types of crimes in both the state and federal court systems. Whether you are facing a conviction based on
child pornography charges or some type of
drug crime, I have the legal know-how to represent your case in a manner that will be most beneficial to your future. I am even prepared to represent defendants that have been arrested for serious crimes such as murder and less serious offenses such as certain drug crimes. Some cases might hinge upon the ruling of California's
Three Strikes Law, while others may require a challenge of the
search and seizure methods implemented at the time of your arrest. Whatever your specific needs may be, I am here to help.
