Derek M. Wright

I first hired Derek,a couple of years and he has been a great attorney,I originally hired him for criminal defense, then civil,and I must say,I will not go into a courtroom without him!He has brought me thru,and helped me out of bad situations,I trust in him,for he is"Truly A Blessing"to have at your... side!

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...ht's conduct was always professional and respectful. He was very knowledgeable, and my son was acquitted on all counts against him (armed robbery, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, possession of a firearm). I hold him in the highest esteem, and would recommend him to anyone in need of a Criminal attorney who is battle tested and a Gladiator in the court room.

I met this attorney back in 2000 while sitting in the courtroom waiting for my case to be call. We had NEVER talked or seen each other before then. He was actually there to represent someone else. He asked me what was I there for aftering talking he said I'll take your case, both cases, only charg...ed me 1/8 what everyone else wanted to charge me for 1 case. He told me he would get them both dismissed. Yes, he was hard to reach at times, I wasn't his only client, Yes he was late for arraignment, but he got there and got the 1st case dismissed. The second case he informed me late in the evening we were going to trial the following morning. I am proud to say that case was also thrown out. He did exactly what he sai. It's called patience. Now he's handling my divorce and I'm not worried at all. No one is perfect. So he made a mistake. Ye without sin cast the first stone..

I used this attorney to handle a criminal matter on behalf of my son. He was charged with trafficking and faced life in prison if convicted. Mr. Wright not only won the case for my son, but for his co-defendants as well! (their lawyers were HORRIBLE). As we left the court...everyone who witnessed... the trial asked for his name and number. You will not find a better trial lawyer in the Atlanta area...that is for certain.
