I was born and raised in North Dakota and eventually moved to Texas to obtain my law degree and pursue my legal career.  I immediately fell in love with the culture, weather, and, most importantly, cuisine of Texas.  When I'm not helping clients solve their financial issues, I'm spending time with my kids, biking, playing golf, and watching sports with family/friends.

Mr Prosser is an amazing attorney. He talks directly to the client making explanations easy to understand. He is easy to contact and returns messages in a reasonable time to the client. I am so pleased with his service. Affordable fees.

Class Act
Derek was fantastic to work with. Can't sing his praises enough. Five minutes into my initial communication with Derek I knew he was the attorney for me. He immediately lowered my anxiety level he listened to my story which I felt was horrific and frightening until he spoke calmly, matter of factly and reassured me that he would be able to assist me. Derek provided very detailed information and guidance that resolved in successfully filing my Chaper 13 case that was approved by the bankruptcy court seamlessly. I cannot articulate the relief and peace of mind that this is now behind me. Derek was very kind and professional. He and his firm Toronjo & Prosser Law, made everything so easy and smooth for which I'm eternally grateful. I would recommend his services to all my friends and family if ever needed.

The Best in the Metroplex
Thank you, Derek and Mark, for making this process as painless as possible. My hubby and I were drowning in debt, I was referred to them by a close friend and it was the best decision ever! Easy to talk to, always responded to my emails in a timely fashion, if I didn't understand something they broke so that I understood. If you're looking for a firm that is trustworthy and honest, look no further! I highly recommend Toronjo & Prosser Law if you're in any financial trouble and looking for a fresh new start. Thank you for helping my family get back on track.

Need a Great Attorney?
I don’t think anyone in their life ever thinks about really having to file bankruptcy however when you come across a law firm like Toronjo & Prosser it makes the process a very easy one. Derek from day 1 was a godsend. He made everything very easy to understand & not so scary. He stuck by me every step of the way and answered any questions I had. I would highly recommend Derek and his firm to everybody & anybody.

Great for bankruptcy
Derek helped me tremendously with my financial situation that required bankruptcy to alleviate a large civil judgment. His fees were affordable and I was able to get my judgment discharged. Derek was very informative and responsive and answered all my questions and was able to provide a creative solution to a complex problem. He left no stone unturned and made sure that all of my assets were protected and all debts were listed for discharge. I am very grateful for his help and would recommend his law firm to anyone looking for bankruptcy as a solution to their financial issues.

A Highly Competent and Professional Practitioner
I was in a world of hurt when I realized that I would have to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and I desperately needed to hire an attorney that I could trust and rely on and who would be sympathetic to my plight. Fortunately, I found just such an attorney in Derek Prosser. He patiently guided me through every step of the process, which wound up going very smoothly for me, thanks to his expertise. I would recommend him highly for anyone needing to hire a bankruptcy attorney.

Bankruptcy
Mr. Derek is a life saver, and Toronjo & Prosser Law deserves more than just five stars. He arrived just when we needed him. Derek is an extremely smart, intelligent, and informative individual. He went over both of our cases with all of us, one business-related and the other two to be personal. Each one took a bit of time but told us that everything would be resolved, which it did. I appreciate all of his efforts and accomplishments. I recommend it to anyone who is having financial or business troubles; he will undoubtedly bring you back on track. Thank you very much for assisting my family.
