Best Attorney In Michigan

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.

Best outcome I could hope for

Neil and his team (Colin, Breanna, Alex) were amazing defending me for an OWI 3rd offense. They fought for me til the end and eventually got it reduced to a 2nd offense which is almost impossible in Oakland County Circuit Court. They were very detailed and kept me informed at every step of the case.... I would highly recommend them for any type of criminal defense case. Results are what matters and Neil and his team get RESULTS!!!!

Have a Rock hard case? They will fight for the best Kind of outcome!

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.

Roc"kind"

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.

"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!
