Derek Metts

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.

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!

No doubt the best attorney I have ever worked with. I had a personal injury case, in which defendants insurance decided not to settle but go trough a lengthy lawsuit process. I hired Derek by recommendation from my locally attorney, because the accident happened in FT Lauderdale, FL and I am in CA. H...e took over the mess caused by my first Lawer, which wanted to settle for a dime and pushed me towards settling the case. Long story short, Derek is the man, he took over and brought this case to light. People !! I learned that the best attorney is the one who is not afraid to go to court, but will represent you in any situation, and Derek is the man. Thanks a lot Derek for helping me, I sure will refer you to all my friends and relatives in your area. I had a lot more to say, but certain things he did, it’s hard to even expect them from your family members. He did everything above and beyond.

After getting the "run around" from my Insurance Company, for a period of 4-months after I had submitted my legitimate claim, for damage sustained to my property after hurricane IRMA, I contacted Metts Legal, who came highly recommended to me. Dealing with Insurance Companies can be difficult at t...imes, trying to do so from the U.K. even more so. Not understanding the U.S. format totally, and having been made to "jump thru' hoops" during an extremely frustrating period, Derek Metts accepted my case, subsequently he filed a Lawsuit against my Insurance Company. After tirelessly negotiating with them, and eventually proving my claim to be indeed valid, Derek secured a settlement of some $22K, which was accepted by me. Their initial offer being $750.00 This is not a mis-print, yes! $750.00 Metts Legal, from start to closing, carried out all business with me in an extremely professional manner, the +5-hours time difference not being any great issue what so ever. Hopefully, I will not require to file a Lawsuit with any future insurers, if I do, certainly would have no hesitation recommending this Law Firm. Thank you Derek for a job well done!

I had an issue with the military trying to charge me $15,000 for a bonus I never received from them. If you don't know what dealing with DFAS is like, it's a pain. You have to use an online system which takes them up to 90 days (yes...3 months) to reply to your message. Even then, the replies are ...extremely short, vague, and most of the time containing information only they can decipher (codes to things you can't even look up). I did everything I could. I sent them everything they needed. After hours and hours, days and days, and MONTHS of dealing with these very rude people who really didn't care about me or the fact that I'd served for 7 years. On top of that, they didn't care that they were wrong, they were relentless in trying to get this money that wasn't even close to in their right to demand. I decided I needed help. I somehow found Derek Metts's office and spoke to a very nice receptionist who put me through to speak with Derek. Derek explained to me that he doesn't typically deal with this type of situation, but that he'd do it anyway. He also was honest and informed me that I'd already done everything there was to be done. That I'd already sent all the proof that was necessary and that all he would do is compiled everything and send it in one document with his name attached. Unfortunately for us regular people, that's what is needed sometimes. Upon receipt of his letter, DFAS responded *promptly* which was astounding already, but also letting me know that they were wrong and have corrected the issue. Paying for a simple letter sounds ridiculous, but in the world of culprits and exploiters, having a lawyer's back up can help resolve the situation much more quickly than alone. Best of all, it took away all the stress and torture of sitting on the phone for hours on hold and sending messages that would take up to 3 months to get replies that were basically nonsense. Definitely recommend.
