Doraid B. Elder

Doraid Elder is the best Criminal Defense Attorney there is. I am currently finishing up my last semester of law school so I have been exposed to the top legal minds in this State. I say this with complete sincerity, there is no one better than Doraid. Walk into any courthouse with him and you'll fin...d judges, lawyers, and clerks beaming from cheek to cheek and greeting him by name. This happens because he is very good with people. He is genuine and he'll tell you how it is. To be successful in this profession, you need to know how to deal with people. Doraid is extremely successful because not only does he have an exceptional ability to get the right person to hear him out, but he also has one of the top legal minds around and he is VERY persuasive. When Doraid wants to be heard, he will be. He is demanding when he needs to be, and he's very respected throughout the State. I am constantly approached by friends that need a Criminal Defense Attorney, and without a second thought I refer them to Doraid. Doraid is the only person I would trust with my life on the line. I have before, and I will again. He has come through for me every single time. I have found myself in some pretty unfortunate situations, and each time I had so much to lose. But as soon as Doraid Elder would walk into that courtroom, I was overcome with confidence that he would bring me justice. There is no one better than Doraid. I will say that over and over. I've personally seen him prevail in a very rigorous murder trial. The way he worked the court room was incredible. It is very rare to see someone as respected as he is by judges and prosecutors. I've seen him convince judges and prosecutors to agree to hear him out. I have seen him convince judges to make decisions that are considered "the first in their career." He does this by fighting for what's right, and being relentless when he knows an injustice is taking place. He gets what he wants because he's driven by what's right. The best part about him is that he'll get the job done. He's absolutely brilliant. The best in the profession, and I am honored to have had him fight on my side. Highly recommended to anyone that needs to fight a criminal charge. Taking into account all the people he knows, his personality, and his exceptional knowledge of the law, it would not make sense to go anywhere else. I am graduating law school this year, and I hope to be half as good as Doraid Elder. And trust me, I am not the only person that feels this way about him. There are MANY MANY more.

DORAID ELDER SAVED MY LIFE. I MADE A BIG MISTAKE AND IT WAS ON VIDEO. IN COURT HE WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE THE JURY THAT I AM NOT A CAREER CRIMINAL AND THEY FOUND ME NOT GUILTY. THE PROSECUTOR WAS SO MAD. DORAID KNOWS WHO TO TALK TO PEOPLE AND HE IS SINCERE AND VERY SMART. HIS IS THE BEST TRIAL ATTO...RNEY AND HE IS VERY AFFORDABLE. THE JUDGE HAS SO MUCH RESPECT FOR DORAID ELDER.

I was charged with very serious felonies. While in court I was amazed at the amount of respect many judges and prosecutors gave Mr. Elder. We had to go to trial in my case and Doraid Elder 'kicked ass'. The jury found me not guilty after a 3 long week trial. Doraid is the real deal! When your li...fe is on the line he is the medicine you need. God bless him and his team. Honest, Smart, Tough, and Strategic.

I would recommend Mr. Elder to anyone. He was a blessing in a bad situation. If not for him I would have been in a lot more trouble. He understood my situation and the reasons I ended up in the courts. I was arrested for DUI not once but twice following the death of my mother. He worked very hard ..., was honest, knowledgeable, professional, sympathetic and treated me with dignity and as a friend. He and his staff were always available when I had a question or concern even while I was in jail. Every situation was handled very quickly and it was obvious that he was well respected by the judge and all the court staff as well as other attorneys. Doraid Elder worked hard through the courts system to make sure I received only the minimum punishment allowed by the law. Having him as an attorney relieved a lot of the stress from a very stressful and scary time. I can't thank him enough, thank god I found him and would definitely refer and gladly recommend him to anyone who is in trouble. Jodi, Plymouth MI
