Highly Recommend!

Our family is so thankful for Derrick’s quick response and clear communication. He was a supportive advocate and put us at ease during a difficult situation.

Only nice if all goes smooth

I was referred to Derrick by a realtor. I only spoke with him once and the rest of my buying of my current home and selling of my previous home was done with a paralegal. They lost a few of my documents, they forgot to have me sign papers at both closings and they refused to communicate with me over ...the phone as I requested over and over. Emails only and they didn't care when you answered, even if it was time sensitive material. At the end of the closings I had asked Derrick to fix my deed as the seller required something I didn't want, and to set a Will for the property we just purchased. However, due to him being angry over my buyer playing games he decided to yet again just send an email stating my close was finalized and then ignored me on finishing the rest of my needs as discussed prior to closing. I have never cared for lawyers, and Derrick was no different then the rest of them. They want easy cases and they don't care about you as a person.

Competent Attorney

Derrick was recommended by my real estate attorney due to a problem that might need to be litigated in court. Derrick responded promptly to my emails and suggested a couple times to meet. He listened to my narrative and offered options to resolve my issue. I have confidence in his advice. I am hi...ghly satisfied with his representation.

Excellent Attorney

We have been extremely pleased with Derrick Spotarico. First, he represented us on the closing of our home. We always felt well informed and his paralegal, Melissa, was excellent, explained every step of the closing process. The second occasion that we had to work with Mr. Spotarico was in small cla...ims court bringing a claim against a dishonest contractor and defending against their counterclaim. He had continuous communication with me explaining what was going to happen. He was also very good about helping me sort through what was important to my case and what was unnecessary. After we prevailed in court, he explained the next steps to me and how to move forward to collect our settlement. I felt that Mr. Spatorico was very forthright regarding the cost of his services and that he tried to keep his time to a minimum to help us with costs. I would highly recommend Derrick Spotarico for real estate closings and other legal advice.
