Carl David Ceder

Carl is super professional and helped me in getting the best outcome for my DWI case. He was able to understand my situation, as I'm a non-resident, and helped in finding a solution which had minimal impact on my legal status here. Sandy is such a delight to talk to. The first time I visited thei...r office, I was tensed, depressed, scared of the future, but she listened and made me feel calm. Both are an excellent team and work towards the best outcome for your case. They are easily reachable. I always got answers to my questions (many!) within a day. Thanks for all your support over the past two years!

At the beginning of January our family faced some of the hardest news we have had to face. Our beloved son, brother, and cousin has been chaged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, interference with 911 call, criminal mischief, and had an immigration hold. The news was heartbreaking. We met... with many lawyers from Collin County and couldn't find the right fit. Then we met with Sandy (paralegal) and Carl Ceder. The patience and hard work they demonstrated was second to none. Had our rough patche's but couldn't of asked for a better team. After it was all said and done our family member walked away with only a misdemeanor assault. Carl and his team are amazing. He will tell you himself don't choose him because he tells you. Choose him because YOU feel most comfortable with him.

Carl is an excellent lawyer. He was able to help me immensely! He seems young for such an experienced lawyer, but I never doubted his abilities using my initial consultation. He is well known throughout the Collin county courthouse as everyone that would see him greeted him and acknowledged his prese...nce. Carl knows the law better than most lawyers and will do his utmost to get the best results for all of his clients. I was facing a State Jail Felony for possession of a Controlled Substance and a Class B misdemeanor for possession of marijuana. This is was my first arrest and first criminal charges...I was scared to death of the possible penalties that could be imposed upon me if found guilty. After meeting Carl, I was confident he wouldn't let me down. He gave me clear instructions to follow and I did as he said every step of the way. Not once did I question his methods. I was also facing immigration consequences due to my legal status in the country. Carl took that into consideration in every decision we had to make. It took almost a year, but Carl was able to get my felony charge reduced to a class A misdemeanor which was deferred and therefore resulted in a fine and probation. The class B misdemeanor was reduced to a class C misdemeanor. It was nothing more than a fine of less than $400. I am and will always be extremely grateful for everything Carl has done for me. I would highly recommend Carl to anybody facing criminal charges in Collin county because it is one of the hardest counties to get good results from.

The number of positive reviews on Mr. Ceder speaks for his credentials. There is a reason for that high number of reviews, simply because he is the best. Carl was my lawyer for my first DWI in Texas against a prosecution with a strong police report and BAC technicals. While choosing a lawyer my expe...rience says you need to look for all important criteria and not just some. Here is what I consider any client would expect from a criminal lawyer and my observations as best qualities of Mr. Ceder. Attention to details - You need an attorney who will spend time to study your case details. Carl does the best in this area. Not only the specifics to my DWI case, but he was diligent about my immigration related aspects as well. He never said it is not his specialization, but guided me throughout. Trial lawyer - It is a known fact that not all attorneys are up for trial. Carl did an excellent job in explaining to the jury, all the discrepancies in police report vs the actual video that too in a convincing manner. Jury liked his presentation, his articulation which made them to arrive at a decision probably in record time. Plan and Execution - My case had a particular situation. The cop who arrested me was later fired from the police department. As soon as Mr. Ceder came to know he asked for a continuum in proceedings to investigate further. This helped in building the defense in a much better way. Unless your lawyer wants to spend time on your case they can simply ignore such tedious tasks and just let it go. Mr. Ceder is an exception here. Persistence for winning - Many a times I wanted to pull back from the trial and go for plea as the court proceedings were getting delayed repeatedly. Mr. Ceder was patient, he stuck with the plan which he believed and convinced me every time why it would be a bad idea. Admit it, client is not the expert in legal matters, that is why we are hiring an attorney. Any other attorney could have simply accepted my request and got the job done sooner. Mr. Ceder is very different, if he knows your case has strong reasons for a trial, he will make sure you do the right thing, not take the easy way out. Expert knowledge - Mr. Ceder has got an in depth understanding of the science behind BAC and SFSTs. Cops and other officials cannot simply fool him in a trial. His counter questions put the State witnesses in a position where they had to acknowledge the limitations of their findings based on science. Reasonable cost - This is definitely one aspect for many when they chose a lawyer. Surprisingly for a premium lawyer like Mr. Ceder, he is very reasonable and predictable when it comes to cost. He is not an attorney who will give you a contract full of ifs and buts and later charge you for every step in the process. Mr. Ceder's approach is pretty straight forward, he will tell you his fee and a clear contract of what all is included. Pretty much everything you would require will be there within his predicted fee. Great support staff - You will like Sandy (Para-legal) if you contract Ceder. She is thorough about legal requirements and very prompt in responding to your emails or phone calls. She will never keep you guessing about the status. Also I really liked his dad (the investigator) on the day of the trial. His presence was so comfortable and he was there to provide his views and guide us in all steps. A great guy to be in the team. In short I am grateful that I did contact Mr. Ceder and made the right decision. I highly recommend him. If you are in need for a criminal defense lawyer, and you know all points mentioned above are important criteria for you then Carl is the best bet in Dallas area. You wont be disappointed.

I wished I came across Carl David Ceder profile before hiring an attorney on my case. It would have saved me time, money and stress. On September 17, 2012, I had an argument over my money with my wife and she called the cops and told them bunch of stories. I was charged with Third degree felony/Assa...ult/Domestic violence and slept in jail. I was so frightened since I have never been in custody my whole life. As a permanent resident I was facing deportation if convicted or even take a plea bargain. Having lived in the US for 7 years, my Engineering career, which I built here in the United States from scratch, was in jeopardy and all my American dreams were broken. My life was shut down in a 3minutes 911 call. I hired the first attorney to represent me on the case who is by the way Carl’s Competitor in Plano. That attorney did not really spend any time understanding my case or building any defense for me and I paid him a lot of money for no results. He would take me to court and I would not understand why we went to court and he would not explain things clearly to me. Instead of defending me he was agreeing with the prosecutor and encouraging me to take plea deals without him even analyzing the content of the plea. My family and friends proposed that I searched for a new attorney. I then started looking for a Trial and aggressive attorney in Texas to have the best representation on my case and I came across Carl David Cedar profile on AVVO. After reading three reviews, I knew immediately that this is the right attorney to hire for my case. The first day I spoke with him, I knew that no matter what the outcome of my case is, it would be the best outcome possible I could ever get if Carl David Ceder is on the case. I then fired my previous attorney who was on the case for 8 months with no results and I hired Carl immediately. I did not care how much money I would spend since my freedom was at stake. Carl kept me informed of all court dates and milestones on the case through calls/Emails/text. Carl Spent time to explain the charges against me and informed me in timely manner of all documents filed in the district attorney office about my case. At their Law office they took time to understand my side of story and they built the best and strong defense for me. I was so worried about this case that it was torturing me morally and psychologically that I will be deported from the US if I took a plea bargain or convicted. The fear of standing Trial, etc… Carl was able to get a better plea deal for me compared to the plea deal that my previous attorney got but he spot something on the plea that could have made me deportable. He then refused the plea deal and started preparing for Trial. Carl is very regarded by his peers as a Trial attorney and I had no fear having him on my side. I knew that whatever the outcome is, it would be the best outcome I could ever get. Guess what? Carl was able to find flaws on the case and this case did not make it to Trial. The case simply got dismissed. Yes!!! This Third degree Felony with Deportation got dismissed 4 months after Carl took the case. This is a big accomplishment Carl. I really appreciate your hard work on this. I am still thinking I owe you a lot. The amount of money I paid for the service is nothing compared to my freedom. I am not seeing myself in trouble in the future but since life is full of uncertainties, I will use his service again and he is now my attorney if I need legal advise. I would recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation. If you want to get the best outcome possible on your case, this is the right attorney to hire. Not all attorneys are equal. Carl is devoted to this job. He loved it and he is passionate about his work. Carl, May God bless you.
