Following her internship, Helene began her legal career as a criminal defense attorney working at Essen & Essen. Helene was head of the Broward trial division at the law firm of Essen & Essen from 1985 until 1990 where she was responsible for defending thousands of clients charged with DUI. As lead attorney, she successfully tried hundreds of DUI trials and she won hundreds of driver’s license hearings enabling her clients to retain their driving privileges.
