I have been a client of Carl's for two different offenses. After further analysis and research of my January 2017 guilty verdict in one of 2 offenses (he received a "Not Guilty" on a DWI charge), Carl’s comprehensive knowledge of the legal process prompted recommendation for an appeal and his strateg...y for employing it was remarkable and worked to perfection. The appeal has led to dismissal on my guilty verdict and I now have favorable outcomes in BOTH of my proceedings (one "Not Guilty" - and the other is a "dismissal" after Carl got the verdict reversed and persuaded the DA to dismiss the charges. Carl’s deep passion for justice further astonished me, and merits my acknowledgement and sincere appreciation. I fully recommend Carl’s services for criminal court proceedings. His website lists him as "aggressive" - I told him when I last saw him I thought a more appropriate term would be "assertive," or something more akin to being a lawyer who is firmly committed to justice and the law. He is very passionate about the law and the justice system, and is unbending when he analyzes a case to try to do what is right and fair. In a way, he reminds me of Atticus Finch from the book. He tries to do what is right, he is a respectable gentleman (while noting he can be adversarial when needed), and he goes about his business in a professional way that I did not see from other attorneys at the courthouse.

We took a leap of faith hiring Carl to help our brother with a DWI charge. And, are we glad we did. Carl and his paralegal, Sandy, were quick acting, kind and very helpful to our brother. We cannot say enough about either of them. The wheels of justice move very slowly and to our brother, who mad...e a terrible mistake, his world stopped until this charge could be heard and conclusion reached. The result of this long wait was success and charges, although not dropped, concluded to a very good end. We strongly recommend Carl and Sandy, you, hopefully, will not be disappointed.

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.

After being arrested for the first time for a dui, I hired Carl Ceder as my attorney. He saw me right away and both him and his paralegal Sandy were both professional, kind, and understanding of my situation. They were in constant communication the whole process up until the trial, via email, text a...nd telephone. Carl would even call me to reassure me from his personal phone. He has great experience in dui cases, especially knowledgeable in blood test analysis involved in such cases. Between him and sandy, they did extensive research on the case and found stuff I would've never known without them. Not only was the ALR trial dismissed (the trial for the license suspension), but ultimately the entire dui case was dismissed. Couldn't get a better outcome than that! It's rare that you don't get a license suspension and a trial dismissal! Carl Ceder will exceed you expectations as he exceeded mine!
