We retained Neil Rockind at a traumatic time in our lives to represent my husband when he was wrongly arrested and charged with a serious criminal assault offense. Although being a successful businessman for many years and well known in our strong support of our local community, we quickly and sadly ...came to realize that in the eyes of police acquaintances, political leaders, and other so-called legal experts in that field that when you are charged with a criminal act they automatically presume your guilt instead of innocence. To make matters even worse, we were served with a civil suit by the plaintiff immediately afterward. We then learned that our insurance company would not be obligated to provide any legal defense or awards for damages which potentially could have resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages and legal fees. The two lawyers we had originally consulted with advised him to plead "no contest" and because of the insurance companies refusal under the "reservation of rights" clause, that wasn't a viable option for us when we knew that if his side of the story was heard he could be exonerated. Neil Rockind was the only attorney that we consulted with that after hearing his story and seeing the charges and reading the plaintiffs remarks to the police gave us any hope. Right after reading the above, he stood up and said "we are going to win this case, I just found your defense"! After waiting 20 months because of the local prosecutor, police department and plaintiff pressing the Wayne County prosecutors office and working together to increase the charges against him to more serious criminal charges we finally had our day in court. In Neil's opening remarks he set the tone for the trial. He quickly and completely dismantled the mistrusts and falsehoods presented by the Wayne County prosecutor's case. Neil's skilled preparation and presentation helped the jury see through the lies of the plaintiff and the maneuverings of the prosecutor. The savvy professionalism of Neil Rockind was a stark contrast to the unprofessional and undignified court proceedings of the two day trial. At the end of the day, when the jury foreman read the verdict of "Not Guilty on all charges" we were so thankful that we had chosen Neil Rockind's law firm to represent us when so much was on the line. His original promise to us that we would win came true because HE DID WIN! Our sincere thanks and regards to you and your staff, Alex and Deborah

My brother was falsely accused of a very serious crime. He was arrested and charged based on an identification from a photo line-up. Mr. Rockhind took the case, and while in the court room politely suggested to the judge that a recess be taken, so the judge could go read a little in his library in or...der to understand what he needed to do (he basically told the judge that he was clueless and needed to study). After the recess, Mr Rockhind got the lead detective to admit while on the stand that his testimony was unreliable. He then got the first "victim" to admit that she picked the person who the detectives told her to pick, and then got the second victim to say without a doubt that my brother was NOT the person who confronted them. He was relentless with his questions for the dectective, and because of that, the trial case was dropped with the judge highly upset at the prosecutor and detective. My brother was also saved from a very very long sentence due to Mr Rockhind. Because of him, our family wasw able to take breath of fresh air.

Neil is the best lawyer around no one will put the amount of effort into your case that he will. I Interviewed a few attorneys in the area before i choose Neil. Out of the attorneys i interviewed no one gave me the since of confidence that he did. I knew that to give my self the best shot at beating ...my case Neil was the lawyer i needed to hire. Neil was fair and up front about the fees he charged he told me from day one what would be all costs up to trial and what the costs would be if it had to go to trial. My case went to trial it was a DUI accusation in the hardest court in Michigan and we won Not guilty!!! Neil was the smartest person in the court room he out spoke everyone and gave the jury a real since of confidence that they could believe what he was presenting them. Neil works non stop in the court room taking notes and making sure he has not missed anything to help your defense. I would not feel confident recommending any other lawyer to anyone other than Neil Rockind he is hands down the best lawyer I know!!

I came to Neil in a spot where no one else couldve helped me. Every lawyer I went to previously turned me down. I found Neil and he was willing to take my case on. He worked wonders on my case, always calling and being caring about how I was feeling, and he achieved the best results I couldve aske...d for. I wouldnt' ever go to another attorney. He is a very good responsive intelligent being and for that I am thankful I met such a person. When I think of him, I think of power and success.
