Derrick was very quick to answer my inquiry and made meeting arrangements souly to my availability. He was thorough and consice with my case, also very understanding and honest with myself. Exemplary courtroom tactics, negotiation and a hard nose is what I had defending me, and I really can't say eno...ugh. I will always recommend Derrick as a first choice in the future.

When you're worried about the right attorney to trust with your future, this is the guy you want going up to bat for you. Derrick, commanding a powerful personality, is a pleasure to interact with and his knowledge and experience of criminal defense, carries in to an air of confidence in the court... room. Throughout our dealings, his transparency, attitude and attention to detail provided confidence that the individual in control of my future genuinely had my best interests in mind.

Derrick was completely frank and honest with the situation. He had a plan and specific steps that needed to be taken for this case. There were several mitigating circumstances that had to be addressed in order for the best possible outcome. What really impressed me was his passion and and compassio...n for his clients situation. Another key factor was his relationships with the court personnel.(prosecutor, judge and staff). His credibility is very important and he won't risk unjustified asks of the court. His client has work to do on them self and the court recognized that was the case. No telling what could have happened here, but, his client received the best possible decision.....with the opportunity to move forward in life.
