Derric Crowther's Lawyer Endorsements
"I worked for Derric as an intern during my third year of law school in Atlanta, Georgia. I found him to be caring of his employees, family, and clients. My life eventually took me Chicago, Illinois where I passed the bar and eventually started my own practice. However, after practicing for nearly two years and in a completely different state, it was the things I learned while working for Derric that got me through the first year plus of my very young practice. This is a complete compliment to not only how he conducts his office but the time and effort he put into me as well. While no man can predict the life of another, nor his own for that matter, I am confident in my belief that continued success and excellence, lie in his path. Any potential client needing legal services should choose Derric as you will be both well served and cared for, and this comes from a former employee who has copied so of what he does. As Oscar Wilde said "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...""
"A fabulous attorney! I worked for Derric while a law student/intern before becoming a licensed attorney. Great working environment. Was able to sit on client meetings and see how personable he was and the connection Derric made with his clients to make sure they were comfortable. Could not have asked for a better intern experience. He became a professional mentor to me at that moment and allow me to see the practical skills needed as a lawyer in order to adequate represent client's needs and interests and also understand their feelings and emotions. I would recommend Derric for this area of law and other plaintiff legal work."
"Derric Crowther is an exceptional trial lawyer whose career I have followed for many years. Derric and I attended law school together and later on worked in the same legal community in the Atlanta metropolitan area for many years. Derric's enthusiasm for the law and doing battle in the courtroom has been integral hallmarks of his legal career and that has been clearly demonstrated through the many, many successful verdicts and settlements he has obtained for injured plaintiffs in medical malpractice and personal injury cases. His attention to detail, preparedness, tenacity and organizational skills give him decided advantages over the opposition and his trial record speaks for itself. I recommend Derric Crowther highly and without any reservation - he is one of the best at what he does."
"Attorney Crowther is a highly intelligent, aggressive, superior litigator with southern charm. I have had the privilege to personally watch this juggernaut action. Whether it's in the court room, in a deposition, or in a mediation, Derric will go the distance for his clients to get them the best possible outcome. I endorse this lawyer!"
"Mr. Crowther is thorough in preparing his cases."
"Derric is passionate, attentive, and an expert in the field. He is dedicated to obtaining the best result on behalf of his clients and setting a high standard in the industry."
"One of the greatest to ever do it. A fearless attorney who will put in the hard work to get great results for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Crowther and I attended Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College and have since remained in contact. He continues to follow the ideals of these methods and as a result has amazing performance."
"I have known Attorney Crowther for over a decade. He is a strong advocate for his clients, and will relentlessly see the case through trial, if necessary. He is dedicated with a successful record with helping his clients. I endorse Attorney Crowther."
"Derric does great work in both personal injury matters and medical malpractice. He is extremely thorough and fights hard for his clients. Most medical malpractice cases I get, I also get Derric's opinion."
"Excellent attorney and advocate. Attorney Crowther truly cares about his clients."
"Derric is a well respected and talented lawyer. I would have no reservation in asking him to handle a referral of mine. He and his staff run a top notch firm and can be counted on to fight for your rights."
