I am in Awe of Attorney Robert Helfend. Attorney Helfend changed my family's life. Because of Attorney Helfend my son will graduate from CSUN in December 2019. Before meeting Attorney Helfend my family's spirits had almost been broken by the words of those in the public defenders office.After Nine mo...nths of the public defender's office giving no good outcome a miracle happened. Attorney Helfend stuck with us,fought for us and gave us back our hope.From the moment I met Attorney Helfend. I knew it! A direct man with heart. Attorney Helfend never let us give hope.We got stronger. Five months later my son was freed. Attorney Helfend is a force to be reckoned with. We can never repay Attorney Helfend. I hope Attorney Robert Helfend will attend my Son's graduation. So much Thankfulness and Love I send to Attorney Robert Helfend and all of his family.

I am FORTUNATE to have known Attorney Robert Helfend for over 25 years. UNFORTUNATELY for ME, I required his services 25 years ago because I got myself into trouble with a violent, (now ex)-wife. After posting bail, I was LUCKY to select Attorney Helfend from a dizzying array of attorneys (in the t...hen “Yellow Pages”- remember, 25 years ago). I telephoned his office and was treated cordially and with respect when requesting his representation. I hired Mr. Helfend without hesitation. When I did meet with Attorney Helfend, he was a confident, no nonsense young man- and I was very impressed with his demeanor as well. If you ever find yourself in the position I was facing, you will comprehend the gravity of the importance of the aggressive confidence Attorney Helfend presented. This is EXTREMELY important in an attorney. NOT arrogance, NOT wishy-washy, or ill prepared (as I have had some experience with in a civil case in which I lost). Under Attorney Helfend’s guidance & leadership, we prevailed in my criminal case with a ruling of exoneration, case dismissed. Fast-forward 25 years, and no further brushes with the law; I was interested in exercising my 2nd Amendment right to purchase a firearm. Pursuing due diligence, I submitted a PFEC (personal firearm eligibility check) to the California DOJ. To my horror and dismay, I got a reply stating I was “ineligible” to purchase or possess. Anyone who has had to deal with the California DOJ, knows this to be an undesirable endeavor... red tape, bureaucracy, and delays. I quickly submitted an inquiry of my criminal record to the FBI and the results indicated no reason for the “ineligible” status. No convictions- which was accurate. I then realized I found myself in a similar situation as 25 years ago. I needed an attorney. You shouldn’t be surprised that my FIRST thought was of Attorney Helfend. Thankfully, I found he was still practicing law in the area and I called to discuss my case. He quickly returned my call and we began strategizing a plan of attack. Admittedly, Attorney Helfend’s forte is criminal law, but it is his wisdom and calculating talent that provided a path to an excellent resolution of my 2nd Amendment status from “ineligible” to “eligible” with the California DOJ. Since then, I have successfully, legally, made 2 separate firearm purchases, with no issues what-so-ever. It feels good to be treated as a citizen with ALL my U.S. Constitutional rights. I am forever indebted to Attorney Robert Helfend. Thank you Sir.

Robert Helfend represented my case from start to end. He literally drove out to meet with me in person several times and handled my case in a very professional manner in which he always told me the truth and what to expect. Several years ago, I made a mistake and was willing to face my penalties but ...not without professional help. Since I have never broken any laws, this was my first time offence. Robert Helfend was able to keep me out of prison, and pro-long the case enough for me to make proper arrangements. At the end I pleaded guilty and instead of serving years of prison time, I was given the following: 1. One year of "in-house" jail which is a local community near my home where I was able to continue to go to work but live at this apartment looking complex 2. make restitution payments back to company I took from 3. of course 3 years probation 4. eligible for felony to be reduce to misdemeanor upon all conditions met especially paying back all restitution. I followed all the court obligations and after three years Robert Helfend represented me again for my pen code 1203.4 and got my sentence reduce from felony to misdemeanor. Although I hope I never ever need another criminal attorney, I cannot imagine what life could have been without his help. Thank you Robert Helfend best regards, LC

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.
