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.

Neil Rockind has represented me in the past & I was always impressed with his abilities. DUI’s are usually slam dunks for prosecutors with very little wiggle room. Yet somehow Neil was able to get a better outcome than I ever expected. He was able to get a charge dropped that would have clobbered me ...at sentencing. Neil cares about justice & gives his clients the best possible representation. I was expecting 120+ days in jail for 2 felony DUIs & I ended up with 1/4 of that & only because it was the mandatory minimum. Neil won’t let you down. I have several friends that also would highly recommend him after I referred them to him.

Whenever you need legal help, you need to go to the best. Neil Rockind and his team will not disappoint you. I can vouch that they are one of the best in town. They promise less and deliver more. This obviously comes from years of combined experience of the Rockind Law team We were introduced to ...Neil Rockind by a mutual friend after I was arrested and we needed expert legal help. When I first met with Neil, he took the painstaking steps of understanding what had happened and why I was arrested. He asked me numerous questions to better understand the context and the background for my actions. We hired Neil right away and that was the best decision we made. After arraignment, he scheduled a meeting with us and explained to us in detail the charge and the consequences of the charge, my rights as a defendant, the next steps in the process, the timeline to a resolution and the possible range of outcomes. It was clear that Neil had dealt with similar issues many times before. Neil's understanding of the subject matter was superb. He was extremely thorough in his due diligence and knew exactly what to do. Neil’s excellent negotiation skills were evident when he was dealing with the prosecutors. The numerous back-and-forth with the prosecutors clearly showed his willingness to take an aggressive stance and fight for his client. As I look back at what happened from start to finish, I have no doubt in my mind that Neil’s legal expertise enables him to look at things in a way that others normally don't. Consequently, it yields the best possible outcome. In our case, despite a very serious charge, there was no conviction, only probation. We cannot thank Neil enough. Neil is ably supported by Colin, Noel and Breanna. We are very appreciative of their help throughout the process.

Just left my Appeal Hearing to have my Drivers License reinstated. My case was complicated by an out of state move. With such empathy and kindness, Neil took the time to skillfully navigate me through every detail. He even took the time to meet with me on Sunday and during holidays to accommodate ...my personal schedule! He truly cares about his clients and with a laser focus adds personal attention to detail. It is customary to take 3-4 weeks to hear back on the resulting Order. My hearing officer granted my request to reinstate my license on the Spot! Thank you Neil, for putting my mind at ease, taking the time to prepare me, and for the confidence you instilled for my awesome outcome! Colin and the rest of your staff are equal in their personal attention to detail. I HIGHLY recommend Neil and his staff for results.
