MJS rollover

Derek had my case from rolling my car. He kept me informed of what he was doing, what others were doing and saying, and what I needed to do. and when. he was in constant contact with me and prompt with the payoff he worked for. He explained to me every step of the way, and made me feel as the most... important person around.. I would recommend Derrick to others.

Thankful

I got into a car accident in April and unfortunately I had no car insurance. I was very upset because the accident was not my fault but the officers on the scene gave me two situation one for no proof of insurane and one for careless driving and 4 points on my license. I was referred to Derek Metts... through the Florida Bar Association and it was a blessing he was able to not only get the points off my license as I was thinking that may be all I can get removed. Mr. Metts was able to get my entire case dismissed I don't have to pay any of the tickets and no points on my license. Thank you Derek Metts you are amazing.

Settlement went perfect

This guy is amazing! My car insurance company did not want to pay for my totaled loss vehicle and Derek was able to get them to pay! We was able to get a settlement in no time! I thought the process was going to be rough but it turned out to be great! Derek is very easy to work with. Has a great sens...e of humor , and my overall experience with him and his staff has been awesome! I am now anble to pay my auto loan off and rebuild my credit! Thanks again Derek!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Derek Metts

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Derek Metts at 407-704-4369 if you ever need an insurance attorney!! This man kept me informed through out the whole ordeal. Most importantly he got me back 100% of the money I spent fixing my customer's $120,000 Porsche Panamera GTS. It was thousands of dollars I paid out of pocke...t to fix this vehicle that a Subway customer hit. None of my insurance companies that I have would touch the case to go after the driver and the insurance of the person at fault. So I hired Derek for a more then reasonable price and he got the job done! Derick was very professional & a pleasure to work with!!
