I became a criminal defense attorney for two reasons; because of my profound respect for the rights protected in our Constitution, and because of my passion for defending those rights in every situation. In 2013, I graduated from the University of Illinois College of Law, and since that day, I have done nothing except criminal defense law. I practiced in the state of Illinois with distinction for three years. In Rockford, Illinois, I gained the respect of colleagues, judges, and prosecutors for my ability to negotiate favorable outcomes, litigate tough issues, and win at trial. I also gained the respect of my clients by patiently guiding them through the criminal justice system, keeping them informed and respecting their needs as if they were my own.. I was born and raised in Metro Detroit, and it is my home. I've returned to this area to serve our community and fight for your rights. If you've been charged with a crime--drunk driving, domestic battery, theft, drugs, weapons, or any other criminal offense--you need an attorney who loves what he does and cares for his clients.

I am an attorney committed to results and to my clients. I concentrate in criminal defense and appeals. I am a dedicated and passionate attorney committed to helping and advocating for my clients, protecting and defending their rights, and offering high quality, effective legal representation. I pride myself in my ability to connect with my clients and am committed to achieving the best outcomes possible.. I serve clients in Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, and Washtenaw counties, and am happy to travel outside the metro-Detroit area as well.. I am licensed to practice in all Michigan state courts as well as the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

I am a third generation attorney that has been practicing law for more then 20 years. My motto is that you need to hire a criminal defense attorney that will out work the prosecutor. That is how you will win your case

During the 1960's, we witnessed for the first time, citizens fighting back against government overreaching and unfairness. Neil Rockind was born on September 6, 1968, at the height of those tumultuous times in Detroit, Michigan. He received his education from Bloomfield Hills Andover High School (Class of 1986); the University of Michigan (Bachelor of General Studies, 1990); and, Wayne State University Law School (Juris Doctor, 1993).. Rockind's talents as a trial lawyer were honed during his tenure as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office, one of the most famous prosecutor's offices in the country. Rockind was an assistant prosecutor from 1993 to 1997 and handled thousands of criminal cases, many of which resulted in jury trials. Due to both his record and his ferocity, Rockind gained the moniker, "the Rockweiler." His career as a prosecutor was chronicled in profile articles that appeared in several local newspapers, including the Detroit Free Press and the Oakland Press.. As a prosecutor, Rockind quickly became a special prosecutor, the title given to prosecutors who were specifically assigned to handle complex and high profile cases.  As a special prosecutor, he handled the most complex and high profile cases in the office, including but not limited to People v Kevorkian (the prosecution of famed assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian), People v Horton (the prosecution of a pastor charged with taking clandestine videotapes of his parishioners in the bathrooms of his church) and People v Mayhew (a groundbreaking vehicular homicide case). Rockind also prosecuted many high level drug dealers, including one of the few cases resulting from an Oakland County Citizen's Grand Jury indictment.. In 1997, Rockind made a change:  he pursued a career as a criminal defense lawyer.   In private practice, Rockind has handled countless high profile cases. He was the legal commentator for WDIV (NBC) and had a recurring role on a legal news series for WJBK (Fox 2).. He has represented clients in matters ranging from drunk driving to complex federal cases. He has represented lead defendants in cases involving no notoriety whatsoever and others, such as the infamous Basketbrawl (Piston v Pacer) assault case (in which he obtained the only dismissal) and the investigation into noted attorney Geoffrey Nels Fieger, that have garnered national media attention.   Neil Rockind is/has been a member of the Michigan State Bar, New York State Bar, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan, Michigan Trial Lawyers Association, American Bar Association, American Association for Justice, National College of District Attorneys (past member) and Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan (past member). He is a member of the Criminal Defense section of the State Bar of Michigan. He is also on the Regional Advisory Board of the Anti Defamation League and on the Board of Directors for the Friends of the Israeli Defense Force - Michigan Chapter.. He was named one of Michigan's Mover's and Shakers by 944 Magazine and profiled in the October, 2009 Edition of the magazine.  He was also selected as one of Michigan's SuperLaywers for 2009 through 2015 , an honor bestowed upon only 5% of the lawyers practicing in the state.  Super Lawyers Magazine named him among the Top 100 lawyers in Michigan and in 2013 and 2014, he was named among the Top 50 lawyers handling cases for individuals.  He was named a Top 100 Trial Lawyer by The National Trial Lawyers Association, received the Distinguished Service Award by Oakland County and a DBusiness Top Lawyer by DBussiness Magazine.  In 2015, Rockind earned a the coveted "Leader in the Law" award from the Michigan Lawyer's Weekly.  He was also named among the Nation's Top One Percent by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel.  He has lectured to lawyers, police officers and citizens regarding current issues in law.

Colin A. Daniels was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Unlike many attorneys, Colin knew that he wanted to practice law as far back as the fourth grade. When he was nine years old, his Grandmother asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up and he promptly replied “a lawyer.” Eighteen years later, he is doing what he loves and was born to do: assist people in their struggles against an all-to-often oppressive and unfair criminal justice system.. Colin graduated from Albion College in 2004 with a degree in Political Science and several Dean’s List honors. After completing his undergraduate studies, Colin joined the Americorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), determined to spend ample time helping those in need. For nearly a year, Colin traveled the Southeastern United States performing community service projects for individuals and organizations in desperate need of help. His work, which was all unpaid and usually consumed between 50-60 hours per week, included building houses with Habitat for Humanity, supervising and conducting controlled burns of overgrown forests, removal of invasive plant species, maintenance of hiking and canoe trails, and tutoring grade school children in math and science. It was during this important period in his life that Colin not only met the love of his life but also realized that his heart lay in helping others, and ultimately, in criminal defense.. Immediately following his term in Americorps NCCC, Colin attended The University of Detroit Mercy School of Law in Detroit, Michigan. While attending law school, Colin participated in Moot Court and was in the top of his class in his Advanced Legal Writing Seminar. In addition, Colin interned with the Washtenaw County Public Defender’s Office during his first two years of law school and with a small criminal defense law firm in Ann Arbor, Michigan, during his final year of law school.. Colin is now admitted to both the State Bar of Michigan and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and is currently employed as a full-time associate at Neil Rockind, P.C. in Southfield, Michigan.

Born in Detroit, Michigan in the 60's.  My parents taught me the value of a strong work ethic, humility, gratitude and family.  I love learning and am fascinated with the intersection of law, psychology, medicine and justice.  I love to cook, sail, travel, ski and laugh.  I am a hockey mom, a softball mom, a baseball mom, and a mentor to as many young lawyers as ask.  I enjoy teaching and making a difference.  Do one thing every day that makes you smile.  I do.
