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.

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.

Excellent over-the-top work on my complicated real estate deal

I hired Derrick to help me subdivide my property, sell the parcel with my house on it, and then create a conservation deed restriction on the other parcel. He got this all done in record time, and dealt with some very complicated issues related to the sale of the house and a portion of my land. He w...as creative, demanding, hard-driving and professional the whole way. And his fee was even reasonable. He will be doing all of my real estate legal work from now on.

Very Professional And Dedicated

I am actually a real estate agent, I needed to purchase a home for my mum, so I quickly turned to Derrick for assistance and advice. Through the feasibility period of the purchase and sale agreement, Derrick reviewed the title documents and applicable development regulations to determine if I could m...ake certain improvements to the property. Derrick was really reserved, attentive and dedicated. In short, Derrick helped me avoid a very expensive mistake. His discovery and findings also opened the door to locating a much more desirable properties. I have worked with him numerous times, he has proven himself to be worthy of my trust in all circumstances. Thank you so much

I could not reccommend Derrick Spatorico more highly!

Derrick Spatorico of Pheterson Spatorico represented me in a real estate sale of commercial property. Derrick was a consummate professional and went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that my transaction was a complete success. I could not ask for better representation!
