Drug charges

Derek is just like anyone else but got a special talent. He is AMAZING with his work. Never been in trouble before let alone being charged with 4 felony counts for things I didn’t do. I finally get sentenced soon and he helped me get a plea deal with No jail and just one 5 year felony instead of havi...ng 3 more which were 20 year ones. I’m curious how sentencing will go on zoom and what he has to say. Another great thing is after 5 years and I stay out of trouble I can luckily get the felony expunged. Very very grateful for that chance cuz I really don’t wanna be a felon and have that being held over me for the rest of my life. Thank u for all you do Mr. Swajanen:)

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
