Hiring Rob was the best decision I ever did. Highly recommend !!

I dropped my old "soft" criminal attorney and upgraded to HELFEND. Rob was confident from the very beginning all the way to the end. He met with me, heard my side, and quickly assessed a brighter future for me. He gave me hope Vs. my last attorney who depressed me. You can definitely see the years of... experience behind everything he does and in the way he speaks with others on behalf of you. He kicks ass !! Best part about Rob was his humor. The guy is funny. He's actually a pretty cool dude on a personal level. Always smiling and in control. Great attorney overall. Highly recommend. No complaints. He reduced my charge big time. Reduced to the lowest misdemeanor of a different category. No violence on my record in the end. Had a small court fee and anger management classes. Soooo glad I hired him. It could have been so much worse. Maybe even 1 -2 years in jail.

He lost my case.

I was charged with assault with a deadly weapon on cop.He not only took my money but,didn't inform me that my case had the terms of 3 to 5 years imprisonment,the low 3 years the mid with 4 years and the high 5 years .Not only did he not tell me of this but lied about getting me off on a program,he ju...st took my money's wouldn't recommend this guy to any one .Do you research on attorneys for your benefit.

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.
