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.

The Harvey Spector of Detroit

Upon meeting Neil and talking with him for about an hour, I was confident he was the lawyer to handle my case—a marijuana possession charge in the toughest court around. Neil had laid out all the options and possible scenarios. I told him what I wanted—not to lose my job and no jail time. He deliv...ered and then some—exoneration from my record after successful probation fulfillment. Upon sentencing, even got my probation lightened. I would definitely use Neil again, god-forbid if I ever needed to, and certainly recommend him to anyone in need. In and out of court Neil possesses a cool, confident demeanor. It's not a false pretense, but a real and honest confidence. Such that upon meeting and talking with Neil, his confidence sets your worries at ease.

Neil rockind took very good care of me for my case.

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.
