When I received my DWI, I thought my whole life was ending. I called a few lawyers and they didn't help with my feelings of being lost and hopeless. Then I talked to Sandy. Not only did shhe tell me about Carl and all of his successes, she also reassured me that it wasn't the end of the world. After ...speaking to her, I knew Carl was the lawyer I wanted. I met with him and he solidified my idea that he was the person I wanted to handle my case. Both of these incredible people helped me stay positive throughout my case and helped me get to a better place. Now that everything is all said and done, I have no doubt that I chose the right lawyer. I'm free, and I can finally go back to the life I was living before this entire mess happened!! I would recommend Carl to any person who was in the same situation as I was. Because not only do you get a fantastic lawyer and paralegal, you get 2 people who understand what you're going through and genuinely want to help.

This is my first post for Carl. I want the world to know how much this young man exerted himself for a court appointed client facing his 6th DWI with a .26 BAC ..........WHILE!!!!....ON PAROLE!!! I had the pleasure of meeting with him for the first time and I am sorry and glad at the same time to r...eport his EXHAUSTION! He had been working SO HARD for my fiance. I was actually worried about Carl's health. The Almighty GOD BLESSED AND WORKED THROUGH THIS YOUNG MAN, ONLY BECAUSE CARL WAS WILLING! Our trial outcome was a Total MIRACLE of GOD through CARL! The judge ruled: GET THIS! 30 day jail 10 years strict probation! AND IMPORTANTLY CENIKOR Treatment Facility! Praise and Glory To GOD AND CARL! TOTAL MIRACLE! Praise GOD Hallelujah! Lynn

Carl Ceder represented my daughter (a minor) in various criminal matters and was the consummate professional. Carl was always easy to reach, returned phone calls, emails, and texts, and took a very proactive approach in dealing with our case. Carl gives honest feedback and will paint a clear pictur...e of what you can expect and what your options are. Dealing with criminal matters is stressful enough, but Carl, along with office manager Sandy, made it a lot less so. I highly recommend them.

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.
