Knowledgeable, straightforward, and smooth

Before contacting and continuing with Derek, I spoke with other lawyers but the one thing that stood out to me was how straightforward and knowledgeable he was. I filed a chapter 7 with Derek and my case was dismissed in less than a year. I highly recommend Mr. Prosser he is certainly worth 5 stars....

Stress-Free Process due to Derek Prosser

Derek Prosser completed my Bankruptcy process in ONE month! I’m not easily impressed, but every single step along the way was handled perfectly. He even did my part of the entire process by email. I’m absolutely blown away by Derek’s extensive knowledge. Luckily I found him, because I could NEVER hav...e found anyone better. I’m forever grateful to him, and will always be in his “debt” for easily guiding me through this unpleasant situation. I will recommend him to everyone as the BEST of the BEST!

Great lawyer!

My experience working with Derek was great! He is very knowledgeable and detail-oriented. Derek responded to all my all emails (and phone calls) within few hours (but usually sooner than that) and my chapter 7 was filed quickly (once all documents were submitted on my end)!! I spoke to a differ...ent law office previously and chose to stay with Derek’s law firm! He know what he is talking about, is reliable and the price is reasonable!! Thank you so much! Larissa.

The Best!!

Derek Prosser is the best! He helped me with my bankruptcy situation which I had no idea how the process worked. I searched for many bankruptcy attorneys called and never receiving an answer back. When I came across Derek Prossper I read nothing but great reviews. And true to their word I am happy ...I chose him to represent me. He answered me right away and answered my questions and concerns and we found the best option that would work for me. He is very nice and understanding. I appreciate that he was just a text/phone/email away. He responded very quickly and made me feel like I was an important client to him. I like the way he shows concern for you. The process went great and took only 3 months! I was very happy with the service I received. Please do not hesitate. You are in great hands! Call now. I promise you will not regret it.

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. Ea...ch 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.
