Extremely recommended

It was my pleasure to have Mr Cruz by myself in such a horrible situation I had ,he is very responsible and got dismissal on my ticket case,

Mr Cruz is the lawyer you want.

This is hands down the best attorney I have ever had. I've had both court-appointed and paid lawyers over the years, and none of them can touch Mr. Cruz. What really made the difference is that he actually took the time to talk to me before my court date. We talked for a full hour, and that’s some...thing no other court-appointed lawyer has ever done for me. He treated me like a person, not just a case file. He was amazing in court and just a great guy all around. If you’re looking for a lawyer who really cares and does an amazing job, you’ve found him. I highly recommend him. I almost forgot I live about 2.5 hours away from where I had court and he even called to make sure me and my girlfriend had a safe trip home.

Outstanding criminal defense lawyer in Brunswick county

Our experience with attorney Derek Cruz for a criminal defense matter in Brunswick County, North Carolina was phenomenal. He was attentive, professional, and always made time for my husband's questions and concerns. He went above and beyond the call of duty for a court-appointed lawyer, demonstrating... a level of commitment that was truly impressive. The fact that he still checks in on my husband shows his genuine care for his clients. We are so grateful for his hard work and highly recommend him.

100/10 would recommend

Mr. Cruz handled my case very well and being it was my first i was very nervous but he assured me that everything would be taken care of and he delivered exactly what he said. He’s very caring and really easy to get along with. Would definitely hire him again in a heartbeat.
