Mr. Prosser Was Great! Fantastic Overall Experience!!

Derek Prosser consulted me initially and it was easy for me to decide to hire him to handle my bankruptcy filing. After I shopped rates, I believed Derek priced his services fairly. Consequently, he listened to the account of my personal situation and efficiently and effectively guided me through a s...uccess business and personal bankruptcy filing. I will absolutely recommend him and his firm to anyone considering bankruptcy as an option.

Great law firm

Derek was great in explaining all my options regarding my bankruptcy and was available to answer any questions. Easy to talk to and made even the legal mumbo jumbo clear for us lay folks! He and Mark are great guys!

Awesome, kind, trustworthy

I met Derek at my first plan meeting trying to pro se my case. He was so kind and helpful, I immediately made an appointment to hire him. He and his partner are easy to talk with, patient and kind. They return calls and emails almost immediately, even on the weekends. Most of all, they are trustwort...hy, something that can't be said of all lawyers doing bankruptcy work. What struck me the most was seeing Derek interact with a couple at the Trustees office. So kind and compassionate.

A Breath of Fresh Air

After countless hours researching bankruptcy on my own, I was referred to Derek Prosser for more information. He was prompt in responding to my inquiry, and followed up with a telephone call to address my concerns and discuss my options. He made sure I understood all of my options, and was available ...to answer any questions I had. He was very casual, yet extremely professional, which made me feel at ease about what I about to embark on. He ensured me that he would be there if I had any questions during the process, or needed clarification on a topic. I thought I was going to have a complicated situation, but he took care of it and got it done in a timely manner! Since filing for bankruptcy and working with Derek, my overall well being has improved, and my household has returned to a place of peace. He made this complex process seem simple, and never made me feel like I was just a client or a case.

Great experience

Worked with Derek on a chapter 13 . All the options were laid on the table. Everything was well explained. He was very down to earth and professional. Everything with the case went very smoothly. Will go back for any future needs
