also known as Derek Haake
I am an entrepreneur turned attorney that is passionate about business, startups, privacy, tech challenges, social justice and all things law. I bring a wealth of real world business experiences into my law practice - allowing me to have a unique perspective when I help my clients with their legal issues. All new clients get a free initial consultation.
I became an attorney to help people resolve their legal issues - and to advocate for those who are victims of companies, the government, or other people. As an entrepreneur (prior to being an attorney) there were several groups of people that took advantage of me and my dreams. I now dedicate a portion of my practice to those that are injured by others, whether deliberate or a "cost of doing business" - I want to fight for you and find justice.
