Great Law Firm / Would Highly Recommend!!!

Derren Johnson’s office was always kind and very receptive. She would promptly answer any questions I had and was always courteous, and understanding in navigating this journey. I would highly recommend Ms. Johnson’s law office to meet any/ all needs and/or to consider any options you may have when ...considering bankruptcy. Ms. Johnson has been handling bankruptcy law for many years and is well versed in her practice and in meeting the needs of her clients. Again, I would highly recommend!!!!

Unethical

I consulted with Derren about filing bankruptcy. I received a package in which I was to fill out. I later went in to discuss the package with the paralegal and paid the $500 fee. I was told by the paralegal that I was lacking information. So she gave me an additional list of documents I needed to bri...ng. By this time, I decided that I did not want to file. So I informed Derren that I would not file. She said she’d bill me out and send me a refund. Well, rather that send me a refund she billed ridiculous amounts for literally doing nothing. $95 for the less than 2 minute phone call to tell her that I was no longer interested in filing and other ridiculous fees. She did absolutely nothing. The bankruptcy was not filed. They were waiting on me to turn in documents. She actually sent me a bill. My first perception of Derren was very cold and not friendly. I was very uncomfortable with her. I didn’t feel that she was a personable person. I don’t doubt that I would owe her something but to literally rob me of the entire $500 by charging ridiculous fees for doing absolutely nothing is very unethical and dishonest. I would not recommend Derren S. Johnson to anyone.
