I was charged with a felony DUI. I met with attorney Neil Rockind. He explained the seriousness of my case and that his whole team would be working on my case. The state prosecutor was asking for 1-3 years of prison time. The first hurdle was I needed to travel to Europe for a month after my arrest. ...Attorney Samar scheduled an emergency date with the court. The judge allowed my travel and told me, "The only reason I am allowing your trip is the outstanding reputation of your lawyer, Thank him." Neil's team kept fighting for me several times when court dates arose over the next year. Attorney Colin kept me advised of the strategies, and Breanna constantly kept me updated of any dates and changes in my case. The communication from the firm was outstanding. The prosecution kept coming up with sentences that Mr. Rockind would not accept. After more than a year of battling for me, I ended up sentenced to 24 days in county jail. While incarcerated, I noticed people doing substantially longer jail sentences for charges that were much more minor (misdemeanor offenses) than mine. Neil Rockind and his team have an outstanding reputation in the court room, from the judges to the prosecutors. I felt it while going through the process. Mr. Rockind's fees are high, but the results of freedom are worth every penny! I have been sober for over three years and never plan to need Mr. Rockind's services again. But if you need the best criminal defense lawyer and want the absolute best results possible, please contact attorney Neil Rockind.

Neil Rockind is hands down the greatest attorney in America, not just Michigan. I was recently dealing with a terrifying case in Oakland County, which most people know, is one of the most notoriously difficult counties to fight a case against. However, those odds significantly started to lean in my f...avor once Neil was on my side. In September of 2022 (Labor Day Weekend), the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department NET raided my house (they had a warrant based on a letter written by a miserable, vindictive woman with a grudge and a trash-pull) and found a significant amount of drugs, scales, “packaging equipment” and a loaded firearm. This resulted in 12 felony counts (ranging from possession of cocaine with intent to deliver/manufacture to felon in possession of a firearm and everything in between). Since a firearm was present, each felony charge was also accompanied by a felony firearm charge (which carries a mandatory 2 year minimum prison sentence to run CONSECUTIVELY with any other sentence). In addition to all this, this certainly wasn’t my first rodeo. I have a rap sheet, including one felony conviction that resulted in prison time in the past. Naturally, I thought I was doomed, but Neil was able to save my life even with all the cards stacked against me. During the preliminary hearing, Neil expertly dissected the lead detective’s testimony in cross-examination, and caught him in several lies (which the prosecutor tried to save by calling “mistakes”). However, the judge was able to distinguish between a lie and a “mistake”, so he dismissed two charges after the preliminary hearing, and even labeled the detective’s testimony false, untruthful, and unreliable. The detective ended up being put on the Brady/Giglio list, which ended up having adverse repercussions not only for the state’s case against me, but for his career as well, since his testimony can now be called in question in any case he was/would be a witness in. This obviously presented serious problems for the prosecutor, and after filing a failed motion (Neil also won the motion argument the prosecutor filed trying to save their case), the prosecutor had no choice but to enter plea negotiations with Neil. After over a year of stressful fighting, Neil was able to secure an extremely favorable plea deal for me. This deal was that the 12 counts would be dismissed in exchange for me pleading guilty to a simple felony possession of cocaine less than 25 grams. Neil also secured a Killebrew Agreement with the prosecutor in which the judge guaranteed straight probation with no jail or prison time whatsoever (which is almost unheard of in a case like mine with the charges I had stacked against me). Having Neil on my side was truly the difference between serving several years in prison and getting a simple probation sentence with no incarceration. Neil is literally a Godsend. Some people are just put on earth to do certain things, and I wholeheartedly believe Neil was put on this earth to defend people, and he does it incredibly well (better than anyone else). Needless to say, I prayed every single day since I was arrested, and I truly believe God worked through Neil to win this case. For anyone that has been on the wrong side of the justice system and has sat in those court rooms at the defense table, you know how terrifying it really can be. However, having Neil at my side felt different. I had a feeling of confidence walking into those court hearings, like I was truly protected by Neil Rockind and his team. I’ve honestly never felt more at ease and more protected in a court room than I did with Neil Rockind standing next to me. No wonder why they call him the Rockweiler. He is truly vicious if you happen to stand against him, and those he stands with are protected fiercely. Even at times when I felt uneasy or stressed (which is to be expected during a case like this), Neil was able to help me relax and rest assured that he had everything under control.

I had Neil Rockind represent me in a criminal matter involving a DUI. There were many cards stacked against me including a traffic accident, several eye witnesses, and my refusal to submit to a breathalyzer. Neil navigated the court system as well as the Michigan Department of State seamlessly and wa...s able to get my charges dramatically reduced despite the case being a slam dunk for the prosecutor. He was able to get me results that I never thought imaginable. Neil is also truly compassion and gave me comfort and a level of confidence during an extremely difficult time in my life. Neil and his staff are excellent communicators and provide information the minute it is available. I can't emphasize enough that if you need a truly amazing attorney you should hire Neil. He is the best!

Neil is top talent. His reputation proceeds him and in my experience the court and judges respected him and his word. I felt protected the moment I took his counsel. He protects you as if you are part of his tribe and is happy to fight for your best potential outcome. This must be engrained in his f...irm’s culture, as the same devotion and advocation is reflected in his entire staff. I worked with Neil and Samar Chouman who both zeroed in on the important facts and ultimately were able to reduce my serious charge of a OWI to reckless driving. Even his admin knows your case and treats you with sincere kindness and respect. If you have the resources to retain Neil as your lawyer, do not hesitate. If you have the opportunity to work with Samar Chouman or the rest of his staff, you will be taken care of.

It is so hard to find the words to express how incredibly grateful I am to Neil Rockind and his team (Breanna, Noel and Collin). I was facing the worst and scariest, gut wrenching situation I ever had to face. My son’s life was on the line facing several charges. Neil was referred as the best and th...ere was no doubt he needed nothing less. Neil’s knowledge of the law and persistence to make the truth heard has no doubt saved my son’s life. Calling Neil has given me my family back and my son a second chance at life. I am forever grateful. There are not enough stars here to give.
