A Tough, Experienced, and Highly Skilled Defense Lawyer

The Los Angeles law firm of Robert Michael Helfend, Attorney at Law, handles every kind of felony and misdemeanor crime in courts throughout Southern California, as well as federal charges in federal district courts nationwide. I am attorney Robert Helfend. If you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer who is recognized for integrity, honest hard work, and a commitment to doing what is best for clients, I am ready to start your aggressive defense right away.

My office regularly consults and works with experienced investigators, forensic specialists, lab technicians, toxicologists, blood spatter analysts, and weapons experts in defending our clients. We recognize that police departments have limited resources and often cut corners by ignoring certain witnesses, hastily collecting evidence from crime scenes, or failing to track down alternative leads. We try to expose shortcuts taken by the police and poke holes in the prosecution's case against our clients.
