My girlfriend had hidden her legal past from me when she moved down from Oregon. She had been convicted of sexual assault and run from her parole in Oregon to Texas. Furthermore she had failed to register as a sex offender her in Texas. She was picked up several months after she had moved, turned ...in by her own father. I was blindsided, confused and unsure how I would deal with a pregnant girlfriend now behind bars. At first I allowed her court appointed attorney to handle her felony case. Once it became apparent you got what you paid for, I searched high and low for a qualified, aggressive, smart and affordable attorney to defend her, and I found Carl David Ceder. Mr Ceder took my call in the early evening hours, after what most would consider normal business operations and worked with me on his retainer. He immediately went to work to defend my girlfriend. We were further stymied by medical complications involved in her pregnancy, and at every turn Carl was there with advice and dealing with the court because of her delay when she was admitted to the hospital on bedrest and gave birth at 25 weeks. She had been offered 6 years state prison by the DA to her court appointed defender, but Carl ended up getting her 5 years probation. He also represented her in a misdemeanor charge for providing a false identity to the police upon being arrested. She failed a year in jail for that charge and instead was given 3 days, which was covered by her time served. Additionally Carl was able to recommend an excellent bails bondmen. In short, he's aggressive, he's smart, he's hungry to prove himself, and he's reasonably priced. If you need a criminal lawyer, consider Carl David Ceder, I wouldn't hesitate to use him again!

Mr. Ceder was my son's lawyer. He was facing a misdemeanor assault charge in Texas. Mr. Ceder was always available to talk to my son and explained everything to him about what could be the possible outcomes. My son had moved to Georgia after the charge but only had to appear in court one time in ...Texas and Mr. Ceder was able to handle everything else without him having to be present. In the end the case was dismissed. My husband and I were very pleased with Mr. Ceder and recommend him highly.

I was charged with a Class B misdemeanor and was fortunate enough to have found Carl Ceder through an online search. Carl was always available by text/phone/email and was extremely responsive. He explained the alternatives and options I had to address my case and seemed to be very knowledgeable about... the legal process. He was able to quickly resolve my case so my waiting period until expunction was shortened. I am planning on using Carl to file my expunction as well and will definitely use him in the future if needed.

I was facing a Probation Revocation on a DWI case. I am a student, so the court appointed me an attorney. The attorney I was given barely talked to me, didn't ask me any questions, and just simply did not care about my needs. I expressed to him that my biggest fear was jail time. His answer was o...nly that pretty much everyone has to do jail time on cases like this. I later received some financial aid money and figured it would best be spent by keeping me out of jail. I noticed on this website that my court appointed attorney had a 6.5 rating. Carl Ceder's rating was 9.7 (at the time)! I called him and found VERY quickly that I was in the right hands. Mr. Ceder was attentive, intelligent, and comforting. I'm not sure what it's called for lawyers, but if Mr. Ceder were a doctor, his bedside manner was EXCELLENT! Mr. Ceder kept me informed very often and used a number of different media (phone, email, text) to touch base with me. He kept me calm and feeling hopeful about the case. I worked extremely hard to finish my community service, do my meetings, impact panels, and alcohol classes in the short time I had before my next court date. When it was time for court, the outcome wasn't just something good I could live with, it was actually the BEST possible outcome! My case was outright dismissed, and Mr. Ceder made that happen. No more probation, no more reporting, nothing. My case is over and I'm free. I feel as though I've been given a fresh start, and I haven't felt this great in years! Mr Ceder, by far and away, is an amazing lawyer. I still have his number and have even given it to all of my friends just in case they need someone. I don't plan on getting in any more scrapes with the law, but if I do, Carl Ceder will be the first call I make.

Attorney Cedar was very thorough in the matter of details regarding the recent legal matter pertaining to my son. He was kind, patient, and very considerate. I felt confortable reading about him on line prior to meeting him. We personally have not met yet, but my opinion has not changed. I am com...fortable and pleased with the service rendered and I would recommend highly Carl Ceder if an attorney is needed for your next legal matter.
