Attorney Derek Wright is an amazing attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable, charismatic which is a great characteristic to have during a trial, he pays attention to the smallest details, and he thinks quickly on his feet. I had 6 felony charges with a maximum sentence of 65 years I was found not gu...

Great Attorney
Derek Wright represented my fiance and he was very knowledgeable and professional. He was honest with us and never promised to do anything that he couldn't. We are extremely grateful, and thanks to him my fiance is home with his family.

Mr. Wright is an exceptional attorney. Mr. Wright handled my sons case professionally and kept me comfortable by walking me through each phase of the process as we took each step. He was exceptional at listening to me and converting my lack of legal understanding to a comprehensible level. Mr Wrig...

STAY AWAY,VERY UNSCRUPULOUS!
I contacted this attorney after my vehicle was damaged in the city of Atlanta, he spoke very eloquently and requested $500 to start the process of recovering the cost of my repairs. Immediately after I paid the $500, attorney Wright stopped answering my calls and emails. He had initially told me that...
This client tried for several months to resolve his claim against the Darlington and/or the City of Atlanta. In sum, his car was damaged by a drain in the Darlington driveway. He tried to make claims against both the City of Atlanta and the Darlington and neither would accept responsibility for the drain. He hired me for just $500 to see if I could make headway since he was unable to obtain results. First, I filed an ante litem letter with Atlanta. Atlanta would have delayed him past the statute of limitations and without an ante litem he would have been out of luck. The Darlington sent me their insurance information. As such two things were accomplished he was unable to do. Yet, neither would enter into settlement negotiations. I advised a lawsuit was needed and indicated more fees would be necessary. Suddenly, I was terminated and a credit card payment reversed. And this client calls me names, really? I leave him to his own karma.

Not a good lawyer
I would not recommend this lawyer to someone who is very concerned about their case. He is not very good at informing his clients about the case and is usually not good about answering phone call. Although, he does leave messages when he calls back , he is vague and does not leave details. After my c...
Not enough information to determine who this is. I do not take retainers then go on vacations when the client’s case is scheduled on the same day. For this reason, I have no recollection of this ever happening and I am unable to ascertain who this is. Might I inquire what happened with the case? Where and What result? Unfortunately, without knowing more I cannot either acknowledge fault and improve on my practice or demonstrate that the review is not based on objective opinion. I respectfully invite the reviewer to provide more information.
"I endorse this lawyer. Derek has an unmatched and unparalleled work ethic. He is nothing short of an absolute perfectionist. He cares deeply about those he represents - he is more than just a zealous advocate for his clients, he is also a confidant and friend, and he ensures that his clients obtain only the absolute best result in their case. Derek is extremely knowledgeable and versed in his field of expertise, and is always up for a battle. Derek never accepts "no" for an answer, and he never backs down from a challenge, no matter how daunting the task."

I have a warrant, but my fiancee wants to drop the charges. Is that possible without having to sit in jail with no bond?
