Very Good Attorney

I met Helene Raisman when I was 16 years old. I am almost 40 now. She tried very hard back then to give me good advice unfortunately I didn't listen. My most recent cast she handled was a 2011 DUI charge. After taking the deposition from the officer it was found that I was pulled over illegally. T...he DUI was dropped. She also handled the DMV because they were going to suspend my license for refusing to take the breath test. Everything was taken care of and I have my license today. Everyone knows how important it is to have a license if you live in Florida. I am so thankful to have had Helene Raisman as my lawyer and I know that anyone about to do the same will not be disappointed.

DUI Dismissal

Helene Raisman is an outstanding attorney and an asset to the community. She has an abundance of knowledge and legal expertise which resulted in a favorable outcome for my case. Attorney Raisman did everything in her power to ensure the legal process had truly been as smooth and comfortable as possi...ble. Every step along the way, I was kept informed of the progress, promises were maintained and all copies of documentation involving my case were forwarded to me. As a result of her phenomenal knowledge in regards to very complex areas of law, Attorney Raisman was able to use motions to both exclude and suppress evidence in regards to my rights being violated which resulted in the case being completely dismissed. Attorney Raisman will go above and beyond to make sure your case gets the best possible outcome. I sincerely thank and commend you for your assistance and professionalism in this matter.

Bogus DUI

After being caught up in a DUI trap and arrested, I blew 0.00, and still had to spend an entire week- end in jail. I contacted Helene Raisman for legal guidance and Ms. Raisman was professional, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable of the law. She reassured me from the start that I would emerge... victorious and on more than one occasion ,calmed me down on the telephone when my "what if" personality took over and I became anxious and angry. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone I know if they needed an attorney. She is a GEM!!!
