This Attorney is a rip off

Hired this attorney for breach of contract, he did nothing but file complaint then he withdrew. I asked fosome of my money back, but he refused!!! Do not hire this rip off attorney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take and run.

I hired him over a year ago, haven't done anything for me and won't call me back. Last time I called I had my wife call from another cell phone and he picked up.

Most Professional Attorney

Attorney Derrick is professional, timely, thorough, and completed my case with great care for what I was going through. He cared about my hardship and made sure to provide the best counsel for me.

This attorney is a scammer and will scam you out of your money

I retained this lawyer for a breach of contract case, he told me we would answer discovery and we set a date to do that, but when i called Mr. Johnson to come for the appointment time he never answered the phone. Then i go in hospital and listen at my voicemails when i get out and Derrick leaves a m...essage that he is withdrawing. Then when i put in a dispute with credit card company, this scammer of a attorney makes up a fake invoice that i have never seen to the dispute, and it is closed. leave this guy alone so you do not get ripped off!

Horrible Experience

Derrick was paid in full and did not do a single thing. Not even a follow up on paper work that I filed myself. He lied to me for 6 months consecutively about a potential out come. Leaving me to call him for any and every update (which weren’t updates only excuses and lies). Finally after contacting ...him again he tells me "The courts will only accept trial due to COVID" which was yet ANOTHER LIE. He requests additional funding for trial even thought he knows like I do he has done nothing deserving of his first full payment.. I decide to move to new representation due to Derricks inadequacy.. my new attorney gets my charge dismissed in two weeks for a fraction of his price. She knocked $4000 off of my price because how effortless my case was to dismiss.. Derrick Johnson is a scammer.

"I endorse this lawyer. He has been a friend of mine for About 10 yrs. Derrick has a much much broader practiced than I do, so I send a lot of clients to him. Some clients want me to handle a case, Derrick and I both handle the case and split the fee. We have one principal in common , we believe in our clients and do our very best for them. I enjoy working with Derrick an hope to for years to come. He has a charming personality, which no doubt Helps him to be successful in his work. Jim Whitlock a/k/a The Godfather."

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.
