The Real Deal

We always choose the best of anything when we have options. Carl is no exception. We hired him as representation for trial on a class C misdemeanor and Carl showed up with two legal notebooks, a huge poster board, and two different defense strategies (all of this for a 50.00 citation). He ...will be my lawyer for the rest of my professional life.

Super quality service

I hired Carl for my son and some trouble he had gotten into. It wasn't incredibly serious - I believe they were at the level of what he terms a Class C Misdemeanor charges. But my son is young, and I didn't want any blemishes on his record. He has several, as in multiple, offenses like this. I hired ...a lawyer for the first one - and we hired Carl for the next two. I supposed it would make it harder to defend because he had other things on his background. Carl went to work immediately, and kept us informed at every step of the process. He told us where to be, when to be there, what to do, etc. - and we did it. My son in the process was completing a rehab, and for one of the cases Carl used this to get the charge totally dismissed. The other case we followed his advice, and set it for a jury trial. On the day of the jury trial, I was nervous, and I assume my son was as well. It was crowded in the courtroom. But we waited for Carl, followed his lead. He was very calm, cool, and collected, but persistent. After about an hour and a half, the DA finally decided to dismiss the case OUTRIGHT. We were thrilled. This was the one we were the most worried about too. I believe it was because the police officer did not show up, but Carl was very insistent played the game right, and we couldn't have had a better result. Outstanding service, brilliant attorney. I am going to hire him now to get all the cases expunged. I would not think of using the services of any other attorney. Only Carl.

Outstanding experience

"I hired Carl and his team for a serious felony charge. I was scared, I didn't know what to do, or who to trust. I came into his office and listened to my story (because the police version was not really what happened), and he told me different possible outcomes. He didn't promise me what would happe...n, but he thought I had a good case. He made it clear that it was an unknown as to what would happen, but promised he would do the best he could based on his experience. I work a lot - and Sandy, his assistant, had me prepare a grand jury letter. I have to admit - I wasn't easy to work with, because it was like pulling teeth for them to get what they needed. It should be the reverse! But I will admit - it took me awhile, but I finally got them what they needed. I am pleased to write this, in that the result was the DA's office chose not to indict me on this charge (I think the term is a no billed?). At any rate, needless to say - it was a LOAD off my mind. If you are in trouble and need help, don't think twice. Call Carl and his staff - they are the best around in my book. I write this without reservation) - even though it did take me around a year to finally write it! Thanks Carl!!!!"

The best outcome

An associate of mine recommended carl to me for some warrants I had accumulated over a reckless time span... During this process I had a court appointed attorney that failed to get me any kind of results that I aimed for. In turn, I faced the district attorney and he wanted over 100 days jail time. ...Backed into a corner I got rid of my court appointed and called upon carl as my last hope. Not only was he prompt and much more professional than my previous attorney. But he also knocked it out of the park in court. Settled it first time around so I didn't have to miss more than one day of work, and also got me time served on a for sure double digit sit out in the county... All in all, Carl Ceder had exceeded expectations and for sure gained a lifetime client. I would recommend him to any and everyone who needs someone they can depend on to get the job done and fast! 10/10 Hands down!
