A Fantastic Criminal Defense Lawyer

Robert was my criminal defense lawyer in a traffic case. Having never being involved in anything like this before, Robert continuously reassured me that everything would work out and that he was working hard to get the case settled in my favor. Robert is a straight shooter, easy to talk to, and re...ally takes care of his clients inside and outside the courtroom. Ultimately my case was dismissed, thanks to Robert’s great work.

Saved my bacon!

Mr. Helfend absolutely saved my bacon. After finding myself charged with fraud, I was terrified. I have never been introduced to the legal system from this side before, and it was unsettling. However, Robert was able to calm me down and help me figure out my situation. He even got the case dropped b...efore trial! I don't want to be in another situation where I need a criminal defense lawyer, but if I ever am, I know who I will call! :D

A Great Criminal Defense Lawyer

Robert Helfend was such a helpful attorney! I wouldn't have ever made it through my marijuana possession case without him. He really took time to understand my case, and find all of the evidence he needed to get me acquitted. I highly recommend him for and criminal defense case!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
