More than I expected. Very knowledgeable and clear on what to expect and more reasonable than I thought. I won't likely need another attorney, but if I do, ill use Derek again!
Derek knows his stuff! I've needed information, and without fail, he has provided useful and accurate info without pushing me in any direction. Very different from other experiences. Highly recommend!
Attorney Derek Jacques and The Mitten Law Firm specialize in personalized legal representation for divorce and custody disputes, bankruptcy, wills, and criminal matters. Each case is unique and requires the individualized attention and personalized focus that I pride myself in providing.
I understand the annoyance, confusion, and, often times, anger associated with legal matters that can arise during one's life. These feelings are normal, and understandable, but they can be drastically alleviated with the correct representation. This is where I can help out.
My goal is to work with you to efficiently and effectively navigate any legal hurdles that are thrown your way, to put them behind you, and to create a brighter future, today.

Great Lawyer!
My husband and I have been putting off making wills for years, something that everyone should have but no one wants to take the time to do! Derek made the process as painless as possible. He was really nice and whole thing was surprisingly fast and easy. If I ever needed an attorney for anything else I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again!, I highly recommend him!

Very knowledgeable
I spoke with him on some matters of child custody and parenting time. He was more than happy to give me wonderful advice on how to handle the situation now and in the future.

Disappointed
I hired the law firm for a divorce was previously legally separated (all financials were agreed except a one line clarification. I was alway the one making the calls for status about my case. Price was higher then was told (the standard rate) charged for filing fee for the divorce) maybe include that in the standard rate since I’m filing for a divorce . Ex received a copy of the divorce from the court before I did and she didn’t have a lawyer . Overall very disappointed with service.
