Carl David Ceder

After being caught stealing for misdemeanor theft, my girlfriend and I were extremely pleased to have gone with Carl and Sandy. Before we met Carl we were leaning towards hiring a notable ex-district attorney who suggested we would have to spend some weekends in jail and an immense amount of communit...y service to remove this all from our record. When Carl heard this he nearly laughed explaining that that's how a DA thinks, but if we went with him we would spend no time in jail. We were sold. Its situations like this that make Carl and Sandy feel on your side, in addition to being very personable and knowledgeable. And when later expunging our record, Carl was able to rush the process through in just over a month instead of the typical 3-6 month process. We will definitely recommend him to anyone needing a criminal defense attorney!

This is a review for my lawyer Carl Cedar. I found Carl Cedars information and reviews on avvo.com. I then called Carl Cedar and spoke to Sandy my mother and I met with Sandy and began discussing my situation. Since I was able to work out a payment plan I then proceeded to move forward with Carl Ceda...r as my legal representation. I went to court a total of 6 times. The da wanted to convict me for a fictitious registration sticker that I was not aware of. Carl did not agree with that and became the defender. He went to battle for me and defended me. He could see how unjust the da was being. Carl Cedar is really the defender he will get your back and help you out 100% all he expects you to do is follow his instruction and guidance. If you follow his instruction and guidance it will benefit you and your case. This helps Carl to go in the courtroom to defend you. If you follow his instruction and guidance your case will be a success. All Carl Cedar wanted me to do was email him all of my accomplishments that I have completed such as certifications and degrees so he could present them to the DA and show them that I am goal oriented and have accomplished positive goals in my life. Carl had to work his magic he takes every case too heart and works diligently to earn the title of the defender. To Carl law is like a sport. He will not be satisfied until he gets his client Justice. He was able to finagle a sweet deal for me where I can get my record expunged. My charges went from a Class B misdemeanor for fictitious registration to a Class C misdemeanor for disorderly conduct which means I got deferred probation for three months with the only conditions consisting of not getting any tickets for 3 months and no check in unsupervised and no community service probation. And since the charges got dropped to a Class C misdemeanor I can now have the case expunged which means my record stays clean and clear. I can now move forward with my life to continue other goals that I will accomplish in the medical field. Thank God for Carl. This guy is the real deal if you have a situation similar to mine this is your guy he will help you. I will from here on out recommend my family and friends to carl Cedar in case they need him if they ever get into a bind. Five stars for Carl Cedar there is no need to look elsewhere this guy knows his law and they call him the defender for a reason. He seems to be known at the Collin County Courthouse every time I would go to check in with the bailiff for my court appearances the bailiff would even say are you Carl's client with excitement in his voice and I would hear a lot of other people in the courtroom saying that is Carl's client and pointing to me. When Carl would enter the courtroom All Eyes would go towards Carl and everyone would always greet him and seem to have respect for him. This guy is awesome very respectful and believes in being fair to people and fighting for what he believes is fair to his clients. I also have to say that Sandy has been wonderful she always gives my family and I good advice as well she makes sure that I and well-informed and advises me throughout the whole process they work hand-in-hand very well together. Sandy is strictly business which is what you want when you are in a bind. Sandy will shoot you straight and not sugarcoat anything. This is what you want when you are in a bind. Sandy is very nice and very honest and real. She seems to know a lot about law that she shares with my family and she knows a lot from experience and from her education. I definitely have to give kudos to Sandy. Thank you Carl and Sandy for not just seeing me as throw away. Thank you for defending me. I will go on with my life and always remember who was there for me in my time of need. And recommend anyone that is in need to you to defend them. Thank you and God bless.

Carl Cedar was my son’s attorney for a DWI charge. At the time, my son was on probation for another misdemeanor offense and we really needed someone who could not only represent him for the DWI but also counsel him as to his options and the best course of action to get past all of the charges with a...s little time and cost as possible. I found Carl to be VERY knowledgeable regarding court procedure and DWI laws. There is no questioning his expertise. What I admired most, though, was his concern for my son personally. Other lawyers we talked to didn't seem to care about his innocence or guilt as much as just filing the appropriate papers, etc. Carl heard my son’s story regarding the charges and based on his knowledge and experience, counseled him to go to court. Others simply began discussing how they would get the best deal for the charge. Throughout the process, Carl wanted to be sure my son was cleared and he stood his ground when the prosecutors kept trying to get him to accept a deal. He kept my son well informed about everything that was going on so there were no surprises or question about where we were in the process or what to expect. In the end, Carl successfully had the DWI charge dismissed and expunged. Carl also had sage advice for my son regarding his life choices and decisions. My son has great respect for him and I truly believe will take his words to heart. I, too, have great respect for Carl Cedar and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal counsel.

Carl makes sure your best interests are first. He makes sure to understand your concerns before going into the first hearing. As long as you comply and follow everything he asks, everything will work out in your favor. He and Sandy, his paralegal will always keep you updated in your trial/case. As lo...ng you keep in contact with them, stay out of trouble and have trust everything works out smoothly. Very grateful for their help. Will be working them again for my sealing/expungment process.

Carl is a very busy person but has always found time to chat (via phone or text) when needed. Even when things get delayed, he makes an effort to let know how important you are and follows up. He is very candid about the process and outcomes. I did not even meet him once personally on this case but ...he got it expunged without issues. Overall, he is a great attorney to work with.
