Life is rarely perfect, we make mistakes. If you find yourself in the need of representation Barry Hefland's Office is the best of the best in Maryland. Specifically Raquel Smith is a top notch lawyer on the staff. She is knowledgeable, efficient and puts you in the best light in front of the courts. Most importantly she friendly and personable and puts you at ease when you are facing a very serious situation. Raquel got a better than best outcome for me and I am grateful. The entire office treats you like a family member and cant get any better than Barry Hefland's office. Highly Recommend!

Many times, unexpected events disrupt the course of our lives, and I found myself grappling with an unforeseen incident, stranded without support. Initially, the first attorney sought to exploit my situation, attempting to deplete my finances without providing any assistance. Fortunately, I later connected with Barry, Dave, and Raquel. Initially, Barry, an elderly lawyer in this firm, met with me to clarify the situation. Subsequently, Dave and Raquel delved into the exact mechanism of my case, with Raquel taking the lead on most aspects. Their intelligence and straightforward approach ensured a thorough resolution. Following the sentencing date, I realized we had achieved a victory, enabling me to move forward without hesitation. Barry's extensive experience and humor, Dave's considerate and reliable demeanor, and Raquel's direct and legally adept approach guarantee their excellence and dependability as attorneys. I avoid excessive praise, acknowledging the gravity of criminal cases. Barry, Dave, and Raquel maintain a candid and honest approach, making them trustworthy guides when you are faced with any criminal complexities. Trust them!

I had the privilege of working with Raquel Smith from the Law Offices of Barry H. Helfand, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Her passion, dedication, and commitment to my case went above and beyond my expectations. From the very beginning, Raquel demonstrated exceptional legal expertise. She listened attentively to my concerns, thoroughly analyzed the situation, and crafted a strategic approach. Her attention to detail and tireless efforts ensured the best possible outcome for me. But it wasn’t just her legal prowess that impressed me—it was her genuine care for my well-being. Raquel took the time to explain every step of the process, alleviating my anxiety and providing much-needed reassurance. She was always available to answer my questions, even during challenging times. In court, Raquel’s poise and eloquence were remarkable. She fought tirelessly for my rights, and her persuasive arguments made a significant impact. Thanks to her, I received a favorable resolution that exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Raquel Smith and the Law Offices of Barry H. Helfand. If you’re seeking a dedicated, compassionate, and effective attorney, look no further. Raquel truly goes the extra mile for her clients, and I am forever grateful for her outstanding representation. Thank you, Raquel, for making a difference in my life!

Kush and his legal team did a phenomenal job! I should have went with him right from the start. I was facing 10 charges and it got reduced to essentially only 1. He approaches his clients with respect and lays out a personalized strategy. My previous counsel left me wondering and we never met in person. Kush is well respected and a true gentlemen. Katherine handles all aspects of your case with confidence and receives all documentation you send to her with acknowledgment receipts. I have a family attorney for life but won’t end up on the other side of the law 🙏🏽 🤞🏽 ✨

Maurice Bersteinis a very competent and aggressive attorney I have known almost 30 yrs.

Raquel Smith was nothing short of amazing! Super knowledgeable and professional. If you’re searching the internet, trying to figure out who can help you best, trust me she’s definitely top-notch.

Extremely responsive when questions arises and kept me update along the whole process

Five star attorney, they resolved my problem quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend.

David Martella and Raquel Smith are great attorneys. I highly recommend them.

Mr. Martella and Ms. Raquel were an awesome team! They really went the extra mile to make sure I walked out of traffic court in a good situation! Could not have asked for better representation! I would like to specifically point out how great Ms. Raquel did in communicating with the officer and states attorney and got the best possible outcome! Which was an unlikely dismissal given all my priors, but she got it done anyway. Very thankful, and I highly recommend anyone to retain this firm.
