Rockind Law

Neil Rockind is hands down the greatest attorney in America, not just Michigan. I was recently dealing with a terrifying case in Oakland County, which most people know, is one of the most notoriously difficult counties to fight a case against. However, those odds significantly started to lean in my favor once Neil was on my side. In September of 2022 (Labor Day Weekend), the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department raided my house (they had a warrant based on a letter written by a miserable, vindictive woman with a grudge and a trash-pull) and found a significant amount of drugs, scales, “packaging equipment” and a loaded firearm. This resulted in 12 felony counts (ranging from possession of cocaine with intent to deliver/manufacture to felon in possession of a firearm and everything in between). Since a firearm was present, each felony charge was also accompanied by a felony firearm charge (which carries a mandatory 2 year minimum prison sentence to run CONSECUTIVELY with any other sentence). In addition to all this, this certainly wasn’t my first rodeo. I have a rap sheet, including one felony conviction that resulted in prison time in the past. Naturally, I thought I was doomed, but Neil was able to save my life even with all the cards stacked against me.

During the preliminary hearing, Neil expertly dissected the lead detective’s testimony in cross-examination, and caught him in several lies (which the prosecutor tried to save by calling “mistakes”). However, the judge was able to distinguish between a lie and a “mistake”, so he dismissed two charges after the preliminary hearing, and even called the detective’s testimony false, untruthful, and unreliable. The detective ended up being put on the Brady/Giglio list, which ended up having adverse repercussions not only for the state’s case against me, but for his career as well, since his testimony can now be called in question in any case he was/would be a witness in. This obviously presented serious problems for the prosecutor, and after filing a failed motion (Neil also won the motion argument the prosecutor filed trying to save their case), the prosecutor had no choice but to enter plea negotiations with Neil. After over a year of stressful fighting, Neil was able to secure an extremely favorable plea deal for me. This deal was that the 12 counts would be dismissed in exchange for me pleading guilty to a simple felony possession of cocaine less than 25 grams. Neil also secured a Killebrew Agreement with the prosecutor in which the judge guaranteed straight probation with no jail or prison time whatsoever (which is almost unheard of in a case like mine with the charges I had stacked against me).

Having Neil on my side was truly the difference between serving several years in prison and getting a simple probation sentence with no incarceration. Neil is literally a Godsend. Some people are just put on earth to do certain things, and I wholeheartedly believe Neil was put on this earth to defend people, and he does it incredibly well (better than anyone else). Needless to say, I prayed every single day since I was arrested, and I truly believe God worked through Neil to win this case. For anyone that has been on the wrong side of the justice system and has sat in those court rooms at the defense table, you know how terrifying it really can be. However, having Neil at my side felt different. I had a feeling of confidence walking into those court hearings, like I was truly protected by Neil Rockind and his team. I’ve honestly never felt more at ease and more protected in a court room than I did with Neil Rockind standing next to me. No wonder why they call him the Rockweiler. He is truly vicious if you happen to stand against him, and those he stands with are truly protected fiercely. Even at times when I felt uneasy or stressed (which is to be expected during a case like this), Neil was able to help me relax and rest assured that he had everything under control.

Mr Rokind's stellar professional reputation precedes my most positive review on Neil-as a exemplary individual. My elderly Mother was taking a nature walk with my dog and ended up walking a mile in the wrong direction. My Mother knocked on a front door of a home in which Mr. Rokind was present; asking for assistance as she was exhausted and couldn't continue walking. In the most genuinely kind manner, Neil assisted my Mother by offering her water and a helping hand in assisting me- while escorting my mother to our car. It is clear to me that Mr. Rokind has developed both the acumen of Justice and a proficiency of Mercy for people in need as he demonstrated in a such a down to earth manner. Our family is grateful for his sincere compassion Neil gracefully shared with my Mother. We speak highly for Mr. Rokind's personal charter.

Neil is an extraordinary lawyer. His team Collin, Harrison and Breanna are also exceptional. My case was complicated with a lot of twist and turns. Neil and his crew were able to maneuver through all the BS with the precision and accuracy of nanotechnology. It is no secret that the last 5 months were the worst of my life. From the time I met with Neil there was a level of confidence that I never felt with any other attorney. He and his team were able to instill confidence with a look at reality. I appreciated that the most. There was no fluff or BS, just a realistic plan with the tools to implement. Neil was true to his plan and predictions and actually accomplished better than expected. My hats off to his ability to maneuver through a complicated cumbersome court system to accomplish our goals. Bravo! I rarely write reviews and never have wrote a positive review for a lawyer. 5 stars +. My highest recommendations to Neil and his team. I have him on speed dial for any future needs.

Thank you Neil, Samar, Breanna and Colin. The staff at Rockind Law have gone above and beyond. They are caring, dedicated, patient, and understanding. They are available and respond quickly. They are committed, conscious, knowledgeable, and live up to their impeccable reputation! I would highly recommend Neil and his amazing staff at Rockind Law!

Neil Rockind is the best criminal defense attorney out there. He throws his best punch every time. Don’t take chances with your life & your freedom. He covers every base & leaves no stone unturned. His team is prepared & on top of things at all times. If you want the best possible outcome for your case, Neil is the layer you want.

Neil and his team are absolutely brilliant. They are very responsive, skilled, truthful, and don't sugarcoat things. You will always know where you stand. Neil and his team secured an outcome for me that I did not think was possible and I will be forever grateful to them for that. Rockind Law will be the first call I make if I ever need legal assistance again.

I have known Neil Rockind for almost 15 years and have had him represent members of my family several times including within the past year. Neil is extremely intelligent, insightful, fearless, and relentless. He is someone I would trust back-to-back in a foxhole. When it comes to his profession, the only thing Neil cares as much about as winning is the welfare and quality of life of his client and his client's family. Neil is an extraordinary attorney whom I cannot recommend highly enough!

My experience with Rockind Law was exemplary. Neil and his staff are true professionals that treat you with the respect and dignity you deserve. You are not a number! Neil, Colin, Samar, and Breanna all had my best interests in mind and never let me doubt it. Thank you for all help!

Mr Rockind is an amazing attorney. He is absolutely brilliant. I was accused of a serious crime and I was innocent but appeared quite guilty. I could have lost my career due to the nature of the crime. His entire staff is amazing. I never thought my case would end well. I was hopeless. But Mr. Rockind developed a motion to suppress evidence and I didn't even have to go to trial. The judge dismissed my case. I would recommend him to anyone. He is worth the investment. He saved my career and I will be forever grateful. Breanna, his paralegal is exceptional as well. I can't speak highly enough about Mr. Rockind. I wish I could rate him 100 stars, he is really THAT good .

Neil Rockind…Excellent Defense Attorney…When You Need the Best of the Best…Rockstar

When I was falsely accused of obstructing a SCRAAM tether, I felt hopeless and defeated. A friend told me to call Neil Rockind if I wanted the best lawyer I could possibly get. She was 100% right. I got the best.
I contacted Neil on a Saturday night and he returned my call within the hour. He got to work on my case immediately; gathering records from the monitoring company, ordering transcripts from previous cases, and reviewing any information available.
Mr. Rockind and his team of associates meticulously and tediously reviewed months of records showing readings of the tether in time frames as little as a minute apart. They tirelessly worked, studying the patterns, to make in very clear that the recorded times and measurements could not possibly show that the tether had been obstructed.
I was found not guilty and released from probation. I was able to get my life back thanks to Neil Rockind and his firm, Neil Rockind Law. I will never be able to thank Neil and his team enough for being able to prove what I knew was the truth. Neil believed in me and did something that I could have never done without him. I will be eternally grateful.

Neil is an outstanding attorney. I needed motions filed in Family Court. Even though Neil is a Criminal attorney, he took my case, and I couldn't be more grateful! He's a BEAST in the courtroom and is for the people. I trusted Neil and he exceeded my expectations. I Would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in need!

Neil Rockind is the best defense attorney in Michigan. He helped me with a very serious traffic accident. There was video from a couple different cameras. One was right from a police dash cam, but after many months of investigating they came up with a charge against me. Neil, and his team of experts were able to use science, math, and other forensic techniques to uncover so much stuff the investigators missed. Noel was a big part of this. Neil has great experience with cell phones, camera videos, texting, and data from vehicle recorders. On my court day Neil completely owned the courtroom. He questioned these investigators, and had them stumbling over their words. The prosecutor was completely in disarray. In the end I was rightfully acquitted. If you’re job, life, and family is on the line don’t use a low rate attorney. I recommend Neil Rockind. Also Breanna is always pleasant to talk to. Neil has a great team. I’d like to add I also used him for a traffic citation. I worked with Smarr on this one , and she got me a great result. She also followed up with me to see if I had any more questions, or needed help with finalizing my end. A defense attorney is someone you hope you never need, but if you do Neil Rockind will always be my first call. Thanks Neil

Five big stars to Neil Rockind and his staff. He was recommended to me as being one of the best and he did not disappoint. I had a case chock full of circumstantial evidence that I knew would be difficult to fight. Neil quickly waded through piles of reports and evidence and quickly identified the proper approach. The case was dismissed after a protracted preliminary exam due chiefly to Neil's sniper-like cross examinations. Throughout the entire ordeal he communicated with me as a friend, maintained a thorough knowledge of a complicated case and left me optimistic and supremely confident in the outcome.
His staff, Colin and Breanna were also both a pleasure to work with. Both were always responsive and helpful. I would strongly recommend Neil Rockind and his team to anyone needing the best.

By far best law firm in Michigan, if Rockind Law can't get it done, no one can. I've known Neil and his staff for 12 years and can honestly say Neil is truly a great guy; goes well above and beyond for myself and everyone I have referred to him. His staff is incredible and always going the extra mile.

Number one Legal Defense in the nation!! You can not go wrong with the Rockweiler! Breanna and Colin were beyond helpful. Meanwhile , Neil has a rock solid, steel-wall, unbreakable defense system that I’d recommend to my own children if they needed legal defense.

Trial lawyers are unique. Smart, natural, and fierce. Neil Rockind is one of the finest trial lawyers I have ever known. I have had the great privilege to work with Neil for nearly 10 years. During that time, I have stood witness to a string of acquittals that is simply astonishing. From exposing police officers who embellish evidence to challenging judges who seek to tilt the playing field in favor of the government, Neil refuses to back up or back down. Many attorneys claim to be "trial lawyers." However, only a select few are recognized by their peers as such. Neil is one of those lawyers. He has won the admiration and respect of lawyers, judges and prosecutors throughout the state. The"Rockweiler" is truly one of a kind.

Neil and his staff are tops in their field. A staunch advocate and true fighter in the criminal courts, state and federal. As an attorney, I have referred numerous clients to Neil, all obtaining excellent results. Further, if I needed to hire the best if I needed a criminal law attorney, Neil would be my first and only call.

The word confident does not do Neil Rockind justice. I prefer to call him relentless. If anyone needs legal representation for any matter, Neil Rockind has always been my first choice. I have had tremendous success with Neil representing me in the past. I recommend him to everyone who needs a lawyer. No stone is ever left unturned. My highest recommendation goes to Neil Rockind. #Benchmark

I couldn’t imagine going to court without Neil as my attorney. He was very professional and reassuring, and there was never a doubt in my mind that I was going to be more than just okay. Rockind really does take care of his clients!

Neil Rockind is by far the best criminal defense attorney. Neil and his team are more then dedicated to find anyway to get you out of whatever trouble that you are in.. He is an attorney that truly cares and makes sure that you understand what is going on every step of the way. Highly recommended by many!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
