HIGHLY recommended attorney

After reviewing multiple criminal lawyers, and doing as much research on law I could handle, I finally took one of my friends recommendation and trusted Derek to fight my case. Due to my profession it was critical I had the right lawyer fighting for me. This is the best move I could have made as De...rek provided me with an outstanding result. He also communicated with me in an understanding manner, Derek put the time into the case and was definitely skilled in his profession. Everyone seemed to know that he wasn’t the run of the mill guy when we walked into court, even the judge. The entire process was handled in a top shelf manner. Regardless of how embarrassed and ashamed I was to be in my situation, Derek did not judge me and actually helped ease my anxiety. Thanks to him I was given a second chance. Thank you for helping me get through a really hard time in my life!

One hell of a lawyer

Derek is an amazing lawyer I have used him for 4 of my cases because apparently I’m one who has to learn the hard way. But honestly he actually takes the time to get to know you and connect with you on a personal level. There isn’t anything negative to be said about him. He goes above and beyond wh...en it comes to his job there isn’t another lawyer out there like this guy he is one of a kind.

Straight forward and will fight tooth and nail for you.

Derek is an awesome lawyer and someone who I would consider a friend, not because because he takes your case personal, but he gets to know you just as much as you get to know him. Derek did a phenomenal job handling my case and I could talk to him anytime especially after business hours. He kept in c...ontact with me throughout the entire time and was straight forward with my options and even made me feel comfortable if I didn't take a plea agreement. I truly feel that he was in it for my best interest and not his own gain. What a stand up guy.
