Excellent representation!

I hired Mr. Adler for a personal injury case. He was very professional, personable, and attentive. Any questions I had during my case were answered in a quick and timely fashion. I would highly recommend Derek to anyone needing an attorney.

General practice lawyer | Aug 31

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have known Derek for over 15 years, and so my endorsement of him comes from both a personal and professional level. Derek is a brilliant guy who has always been really good at combining his book smarts with his innate common sense. He is the first person I come to when I have any legal question because I know if he does not know the answer he will find the answer very quickly. His intelligence and good work ethic make him a good lawyer, but his people skills, his sincerity, and his hunger for always wanting to help those in need, make him a great lawyer in my opinion."

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.
