Great Lawyer

Derek was extremely effective and i'm glad I was referred to him. He was well-prepared and made a great speech during my hearing. If only it were socially acceptable to give him a standing ovation. I got into some trouble with marijuana, manufacturing and distributing. Thankfully, I got off with a... 7411. I was young and dumb when I committed those crimes, and it almost ruined my life. I've grown up since then and now have a great job. Hopefully, i'll never need his number again. Thanks Derek.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
