"Teamwork makes the Dream Work"

I was facing a felony and misdemeanor charge. In a county with the odds stacked against me. I had everything to lose including five years of lobbying in Lansing. These charges would have made the last five years of my life and the future that I've worked for tirelessly useless. I was told that Rockin...d Law was expensive, all I have to say is the old analogy "You get what you pay for" Couldn't be more true! If you want a prize fighter in the court room and someone who is not afraid of the system, then do yourself a favor and put this law firm to work for you. From the Paralegal Breanna to Attorney Colin Daniels I was made aware of what was going on and what to expect. I was never promised an outcome, other than we will fight for you every step of the way and they did just that. Now I have to tell a quick story. During my raid Rockind Law had a local attorney at my home within forty minutes, to advise me and make sure the police weren't taking liberties. I asked this attorney what his opinion of Neil Rockind was, he immediately got a smile on his face and shared his opinion of attorneys in general. He said "Some get into the profession in hopes of making big money, some of these attorneys are marginal, some of them are good and enjoy what they do with better than average results" Then he said "Every now and then you come across an attorney that has been touched by God and that is Neil Rockind". I thought wow! kind words, but after all Rockind Law sent him here. But after seeing the first police officer get cross examined all I can say is I Had court side seats literally (LMAO) to something that most people only see on TV. It was amazing... For the record, All charges were dismissed. Thanks again!

Absolutely the best lawyer!!

I hired Neil Rockind in March for a legal matter. I was very nervous about my case. Neil made me feel very confident. One thing I loved about him, he is a fighter. He will fight his last words for his client. I put all my trust into Neil. I was not disappointed with the outcome. Case was dismissed. H...e's very professional. He tells you like it is. Which I loved because I didn't want any lawyer just telling me what I wanted to hear. He is the absolute truth, He's extremely smart with the law and is willing to put anyone to the test. Best thing I ever did was hiring Neil Rockind.

The. BEST. LAWYER. Hands Down!

I retained Neil Rockind in May 2015 and he represented me for five hearings all on the same day in the Wayne County PPO Court on May 19, 2015. I was being set up by a group of people that had previously been my best friends for over seven years and whom I had known my entire life. These people were l...iterally using lies in an attempt to defecate on my name, obtain PPOs against me MULTIPLE TIMES (never once based off of any truth) and to destroy my future job opportunities- specifically because I was just weeks away from graduating nursing school. The seriousness of their untrue accusations were beginning to make me feel hopeless and it became very emotionally traumatizing. One of Neil''s peers recommended Neil to me and at that time I had already paid the retainer to hire Maggie Swift from Garmo & Kiste Law Firm. After meeting with Neil for a consultation, I knew that it was in my best interest to have him represent me because the complexity of the situation I was dealing with was very extreme and within minutes of discussing it with Neil, I felt unquestionably confident- for the first time. I literally asked Garmo & Kiste to withdraw counsel and hired Neil Rockind! Some people would say that's a stupid decision and a waste of money. I did it because I knew the facts and I knew I was out numbered for my case... BY FAR! Long story... Short version: Jeopardizing my future was a risk I was surely not willing to take!!! I felt that by hiring Neil to represent me, I had the best chance I could possibly have!!! NEIL ROCKIND WON MY CASE! When I walked out of court that day, there were no PPOs granted against me! The people who thought their lies were seamless and that they would soon hold my future in the palm of their hands had failed!!! All of their PPOs were denied and rightfully so! Through his FLAWLESS CROSS EXAMINATION, Neil proved that every single accusation was indeed a lie and that I was actually being set up with lies- shedding light on the FACT that all three people who had petitioned the court for a PPO against me were actually attempting to obtain PPOs with lies and that their integrity was in fact, very questionable! I couldn't have asked for him to do anything different! He did a MORE THAN PERFECT JOB... a MORE THAN AMAZING JOB in the court room, as my lawyer! I wouldn't have had it any other way!!! I honestly believe that his tactics are FLAWLESS, his skill is of the highest caliber, and I DEFINITELY WOULD NEVER, EVER HIRE ANYONE ELSE!!! #rockindlaw #hirethebest #killercrossexamination #rockweiler #flawlesslawyering

Expert, genuine, and persistent attorney!

Neil has been my attorney for three trials. Bottom line; Neil is an exceptional attorney, treating each client as if they are his ONLY client. Neil took meticulous care with reviewing my case and preparing me for every step of the initial pretrial and later sentencing. While the most recent, firs...t offense OWI sentencing outcome was a surprise all parties, Neil took it upon himself to work overtime to make multiple appeals, on his own dime. He is a man of his word, and on principle he refused to let the injustice stand. Ultimately, an appeal was granted in a timely fashion. Throughout the process, Neil was in communication after hours and on weekends, going above and beyond expectations to be readily available to me. Neil is an individual you want at your side going to war. He is poised, honorable, and relentless. Anyone who is looking for the best will get the best from Neil Rockind.

Best Criminal Defense Attorney by far!

I cannot even begin to explain how amazing and exceptional Neil Rockind was in my trial case. I was charged with a 3rd DUI offense in Birmingham Michigan which is considered a felony and mandatory at least 30 days in jail. When I was pulled over I denied my pbt test but performed all of my sobriety ...tests as directed. The officer arrested me after I refused the pbt test and claimed that he smelled intoxicants coming from my vehicle. At the station I consented to getting my blood drawn and the result came back 7 months later as a .09. We took my case from the 48th district court (where we had pretrial with Judge Smalls) to the oakland county curcuit court for trial and Neil fought it to the very end. Neil always made sure that I was thoroughly understanding everything that was going on every step of the way. I completely thought my life was over and I was facing a felony and at the minimum 30 days in jail.. Neil and his team spent a great amount of time going over my case finding every reason to win and get me out of it. The trial was the scariest most traumatizing experience I have ever have been thru in my life not really knowing what the outcome was going to be. I left the Oakland County Circuit Court and was found not guilty all because of Neil and his dedication to getting my life back. Neil truly cares about his clients and will get you the justice you deserve. I can honestly say that he is the best criminal defense attorney that I have ever witnessed in the courtroom. He strategically cross examines the witnesses against you in a way that I think they even start to believe that they're wrong for even being against you. Neil is amazing and I owe him my life.
