Excellent Lawyer!
I had a case involving a domestic violence protective order. Derek was professional and handles the case quickly. I would definitely hire him again.

Gets the job done!
I needed an absolute divorce. No custody or division of property. Just a divorce. Derek Mace handled this for me and everything went exactly as explained. He made everything simple and easy. His price was more reasonable than others. Overall I’m happy with his services.

Does a good job
I hired Mr. Mace for a separation and a criminal case. Mr. Mace gave great advice and led me through all of the stress and ups and downs of the separation and eventual divorce and helped me get the criminal charges dropped. He knows his stuff.

Awesome lawyer
I hired Derek as my lawyer to handle custody, child support, equitable distribution, and also to handle my divorce. He listened to what I had to say and worked hard to make sure that I got what I deserved. He never once let my ex's lawyer dictate the outcome. I highly recommend him.

Professional and straight forward
Worked with Derek on my divorce. He and his staff were very easy/friendly to work with. They provided me with everything I need to make knowledgeable decisions. Timely, accurate and the cost was reasonable, as well, which is a nice bonus.
