If you’ve been accused of a federal crime, you need a defense lawyer who knows how to play the game.  Lawyers who have never defended a client against federal prosecution may not know how to handle the overwhelming amount of evidence these prosecutors will bring against you.  They’ve had months or, in some cases, even years, to collect evidence against you.  Your defense attorney must know how to analyze this evidence and prepare your defense in an expedited and efficient manner.  For this reason alone, you need someone with experience.

If you need a federal defense lawyer, Ventura citizens should not waste time with those who don’t have federal experience.  Instead, they should directly contact Mr. Helfend and inquire about his services.  He will bring his aggressive, no-nonsense manner to your case, and he will do everything he can to see to it that you get the best protection you can.  Mr. Helfend won’t promise he will win your case—no attorney can make that promise because the outcome of a trial is never crystal clear—but he will promise to do all he can to see that your right to a fair hearing is upheld.

Mr. Helfend enters the courtroom with an arsenal of defense strategies.  He will file every applicable motion to suppress evidence, work for all informants to be disclosed, and actively pursue lines of defense for countering all witnesses and evidence the prosecution brings forth.  Even if the end result is still a conviction, Mr. Helfend won’t stop fighting for you.  He will do all he can to see that your federal charges are reduced, and he will especially work hard to help you avoid any jail time.
