nice words…

A client recently said this to me–

“You are my trump card Neil! No one can beat you once you get going. I have faith in you & I am not worried. You are the best! There is no one better!”

I am honored to receive such praise.  I look forward to my upcoming battle on behalf of this client.  Trial is on the horizon and I will be ready . . .

Contraband discovered in Detroit hit man’s cell

I was in court recently defending a woman accused of giving contraband to a prisoner.  There was/is NO proof offered during the hearing that she did so . . . however the prisoner was discovered to have had “contraband” on his person after the visit.   The state kept attempting to argue that prisoners aren’t allowed to possess certain items and that there are policies in place to prevent that.  When I questioned the police officers, they had to agree that sometimes prisoners get ahold of contraband . . . sometimes they get them from other inmates and other resources.  Recently, a hit man was discovered to be in possession of “contraband”.    You can read the article below . . . if this guy can get his hands on contraband and it not be found for sometime, than anyone can.  It didn’t have to come from an outside source or my client.

Brothers robbed at Red Coat Tavern in Royal Oak

I don’t eat red meat.  I’m a vegan.  But I haven’t always been devoted to being a vegan.  Once, many moons ago, I ate red meat and when I did, my favorite food was a hamburger.  And the best burger?  Red Coat Tavern in Royal Oak.  Others apparently feel the same, going to the restaurant until the wee hours of the night/morning.  Sadly, two brothers, as reported by The Oakland Press, were robbed in front of the Red Coat recently.  Read the story here . . . if you or a family member are charged with a crime including a robbery, contact my office at 248.208.3800 or email my firm at neil@rockindpc.com.  You can also learn more about us at www.lawyerswhowin.com

Cinderella Story-Softball Champs

Rooting for the underdog. Some of us root for the underdog…if you’re a part of that group, you’d have been cheering for the Falcon’s softball team in the softball league championship yesterday. The Falcon’s played the Gators. My daughter is on the Falcon’s. The Gators were undefeated–they never had a close game. Except yesterday. The Falcon’s, led by my daughter, did the improbable…beat the Gators for their only loss. League Champions. Cinderella.

Happy Bday Jaden

My youngest son turns 7 day. June 19th. The day Jaden was born and came into our lives. My older kids resemble me. Jaden looks like a picture hanging on my in-laws wall. Being Aliya’s and Harley’s young brother is challenging. Few could handle it. No one could handle with such ease.

Happy birthday, Jaden.

The Walkout

I have had mixed emotions about today. My daughter finished elementary school. I stood in her room as the teacher received gifts and accolades from parents and kids alike. The parents and relatives were supposed to wait outside for the students to walk out and give them a standing, clapping ovation. The clapping, a bit muted because each parent and relative held a camera, phone or similar recording device. Still, the significance was lost on me. Us. These kids were not returning to this school. K-5 was over. Only 7 more until K-12 is done. Put another way, it seems like half of their schooling is done. These kids weren’t racing to get out though. They were lingering…meandering…taking pictures… and in the corner, my daughter who I never see cry was crying. Her best friend ran over and hugged her. Her other close friends, great girls, came over too…each maybe realizing that in one way, this was it. A big chapter finished. Today’s big kids on campus are tomorrow’s young “newbies”.

I ran over and asked my daughter why she was crying? She said, “I can”t look at mom.”. I turn and see my wife bawling. Tears and emotions are contagious…like yawning, in a way. I will never forget my two girls, my wife and daughter, crying together over this milestone.

This was big moment. A big part of the ride. Will she remain sweet? Will she remain confident? Can she resist peer pressure? I pray that the answers are all “yes”.

G-d bless. G-dspeed. Baruch Hashem.
