Tenacious Litigator

"I have known Mr. Helfot for more than 5-years, and during that time, I have found him to be honest, knowledgeable and efficient in his actions. Recently, I had the pleasure of working with him on a Trial involving a simply commercial litigation matter which was made complex by the actions of opposing counsel. I can say that without Mr. Helfgot's experiences and calm demeanor, the matter could have gone bad on several occasions. Since then, we have consulted on several other smaller issues, and I find him to be a very competent sounding board when I need advise or counsel. I give Ira Helfgot my highest recommendation."
"I strongly endorse Ira Helfgot. As a result of working with Ira on a matter, I saw his skill first-hand; and he resolved the matter with speed and great talent."
