Best defense lawyer

Derek Verderamo is the best criminal lawyer in Naples Florida. He is a real fighter at the courtroom.

Great Job Derek

I arrived at court early one day and listened to the judge, the prosecutor and defendant all talking about the attorney I hired named Derek Verderamo. Each of the three spoke about Derek in glowing terms and I could see that he is held in high esteem. And this is very important information to st...art with. We are all human. Do the judge and prosecutor you have even like your attorney? How would you ever know? Derek has great working relations with the people who hold your future in their hands.

Outstanding Attorney!

I was facing a serious automobile charge (3rd degree felony) and I can assure you that Derek Verderamo is exactly what you’re hoping for when you realize you need an attorney. He is calm, straightforward, tough-minded and clearly knows the ins and outs of the court system. It also became apparent to ...me that he is highly respected by prosecutors and judges alike. All of this lead to me getting 6 months of probation, with no felony conviction, and a recent call from Derek that the whole incident was expunged/sealed. As soon as I hired Derek my stress level dropped about this out-of-character incident, as I realized I was in the hands of a true, caring professional at the top of his game.

Someone you want on your side! A true fighter for justice!

Derek represented me in my first DUI case, but this was not my first arrest. My DUI case was much more severe than others and I was facing serious charges and punishments. He got me probation and weekend work, when I should have been doing jail time no questions asked. I violated my probation only ...three months in and not only did he get me on the docket for the next week (I later found out this is basically unheard of, as it can take 3 weeks just to get the warrant out after your violate probation), but he worked directly with my probabtion officer (who also did alot to help my situation and was very helpful) to get me in and out of jail within 24 hours so the violation wouldn't effect my new job. Not only was I in and out of jail within 24 hours, but he made sure I got no added time to probation or extra punishments added to my original sentencing terms. He actually cared and put in effort as if my situation was his own, and moved so fast to help me, after I screwed up things for myself! Derek is a true fighter for justice and moves fast!! He will do what he has to to get you the best he can get. Hes tough and will tell you the real deal, but as long as you are honest and show him you will work to better yourself, he is there to help you all the way! He speaks only good things of anyone he represents and sees people for people, not their charges. Worth every penny! He is strict with having you pay half of your attorney fees upfront before he takes you on as a client, but do what you can to get the money and get him! Hes worth it. I also was quoted $8500 from a "top attorney" in town, and Derek took me on for only $4000 and put in more effort I have seen with any other attorney.

Disorderly Intoxication

I was referred to Derek by a former professor of mine at Florida Gulf Coast University. He truly cares about helping you and making the process as least stressful and possible at a reasonable cost. With his help, I will now be able to erase this first time arrest from my record and move on to a succe...ssful post graduation life knowing I made the right decision. Thank you Derek!!
