Relationship: Friend

"Smart, Ethical, Efficient. Casey gets results. Casey DeReus is very thorough. She never stops working and she presents every option when approaching case resolution. Ms. DeReus is constantly thinking about legal strategy far in advance and knows how each step taken now will affect another option down the line. She is also extremely inquisitive and constantly looking for better ways to provide service. She helps people who face new issues in the market— such as with ride sharing apps— and seeks to work within her networks to find resources and solutions. Ms. DeReus practices with respect and is polite to others while being a fierce advocate and firm when she is negotiating. Her peers like and respect her. When she answers a question I have, I know that the answer she is giving me is the best answer. Her rigorous legal writing examines every legal issue meticulously. I am confident with her legal analysis and representation."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
