Neil did an awesome job cross examining a Troy police officer. The officer was sweating and squirming in his seat. The officer basically did not quite remember what was the actual truth shown on the video. Very confident about his story when the prosecutor questioned him but lost his memory during cr...oss examination. Great defense.

I was client of Neil Rockind. I was charged with CCW, Felony Firearm and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. I met with Neil and we agreed that the only outcome we would pursue as it pertains to my charges would be an acquittal by jury trial. Neil Rockind appeared personally at every singl...e one of my hearings from district court to circuit court, spanning over a one year period. He never deemed a hearing beneath him, as some attorneys do, and sent another attorney in his place. He was diligent in his duties throughout and continued to impress me with his legal prowess and caring nature, time and time again. He fought for my freedom and for my life as if I were his own family and refused to allow me to fall victim to investigative and prosecutorial tunnel vision. He was well prepared and sharp as a knife for EVERY SINGLE HEARING. We ended up in trial one year after initial arrest. I was facing at least 6 years in prison and the possibility of losing everything that I'd worked for in my life. I can not put into words how brilliant Neil was during the course of the trial. He defended me with such passion and precision that I had no doubt he had done everything in his power for me to be awarded a not guilty verdict. That is exactly what I got...NOT GUILTY on all three counts!!! I owe Neil Rockind more than legal fees...I owe him my life. He believed me, he believed in me, and he fought for me like a brother would fight for a brother or a father a son. I could never in good conscience make a referral for a criminal defense attorney other than Neil Rockind. Neil is the attorney you want in your corner when your life is on the line and you want an attorney who understands that and acts as though he understands that.

I was on probation with district and circuit court. I'm a single mother of twins with many health issues. Doing the best I can complying with both court probation requirements, I needed help and relief. Neil was sympathetic to my situation and had my obligations for probation and the time remainin...g of my probation discharged and best of all....my case was dismissed in district court and will not show up on my record! Neil.....Me and my children really appreciate everything you have done and will NEVER forget how you have helped me realize that there are blessed people like you who truly care and help others in need.

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.

Mr. Rockind provided the support needed and gave us realistic scenarios of what could occur with our son's serious criminal case. He provided excellent referrals and invaluable expertise throughout the entire process. When faced with devastating circumstances in a situation where we had no knowledg...e of what to do, Mr. Rockind and his staff were there for our family. We are extremely pleased with the outcome, probation and limitations rather than jail or prison. Thanks to Mr. Rockind, our son is alive and has a second chance.
