Do Not Hesitate To Hire Derek Prosser

Derek Prosser is an exceptional bankruptcy lawyer who guided me through the process with unwavering support. His expertise and meticulous attention to detail made the entire experience seamless. He clearly communicated all necessary information and documentation, ensuring that every step was clear an...d effortless. Derek's ability to keep my paperwork organized and promptly inform me of any missing items was invaluable.

The flexible payment plan offered by Derek made the process financially manageable. The entire bankruptcy process was completed within a month, effectively releasing me from the burden of overwhelming debt and legal pressure. I am eternally grateful for Derek's invaluable guidance and assistance. Without him, I would not have been able to navigate the bankruptcy process.

I highly recommend Derek to anyone seeking legal representation in bankruptcy matters. His exceptional service, support, and commitment to his clients are truly remarkable. I will not hesitate to refer anyone in need of a bankruptcy lawyer to Derek, confident that they will receive the same exceptional experience I did.

Great Attorney

Great services. Great price and you can do a payment plan. Mr. Prosser was very informative and responded to all my calls and emails quickly. Everything was straight to the point no complications. I would definitely recommend.

Nice and Easy!

I am sooooo happy with my experience! Derek Prosser seriously is amazing at doing Bankruptcies! He explains everything in very simple, basic terminology and metaphorically holds your hand during the entire process, including the hearing. I was really scared and nervous, he helped me feel at ease d...uring the process and I can't thank him enough, worth every dollar and in fact, he's so nice that he lets you pay it in a bi-weekly installment!!! What an amazing job, thank you!!!

A+ Service! Couldn't ask for any better

I retained Derek Prosser through a 3rd party website, and have met with him in person 2x throughout my experience and I could not have asked for anything better ! Derek was very very responsive from Day 1. Payment plan worked out great, and I appreciated the fact that Derek filed as soon as the 1st ...payment in the payment plan for me in my case. My bankruptcy was Ch 7 and all my debts were discharged! The meeting at the Federal Courthouse was a breeze. Derek was already there when I got there, and it lasted less than 5-10minutes. Case was filed in Jan, and I got fully discharged in May ! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!! Thank you Derek!

Derek is an exceptional attorney and an amazing human being!

I did research prior to filing and choosing which firm I would go with. I could not be more pleased with my decision. I worked with both Mark and Derek. Derek worked up my petition and handled everything up to the court date. Due to the court I was filing, Mark was the attorney the day of. ... They were incredibly relatable and yet very professional and have a level of integrity that isn't stereotypically attributed to attorneys. They made things easy on me and everything ran smoothly despite my extreme anxiety over the whole thing. I recommend having all your ducks in a row (all required information, ie. Creditor list, income information, expense list...ready and saved/backed up) before the last minute. I found that, in doing so, it made both of our 'jobs' easier. I also recommend asking questions so you understand what is needed and/or happening. Derek does an excellent job of giving you feedback and status updates at each step in the process. His email communications contained information that seemed to anticipate any potential issues. I recommend keeping all of your correspondence in one place. So, if you find yourself in a situation that requires you to file, take a deep breath, realize most of us are a paycheck away from devastation and you aren't a bad person or a total screw up. You can trust Derek and this firm to take care of you and treat you with respect from start to finish. I truly felt like he had my best interests at heart throughout the entire process. I will absolutely recommend Toronjo & Prosser Law (and Derek for sure) to any and every person I know! They are reasonably priced and worth at least twice what I paid. And they let you payout your fee. Who does that? THIS guy! Thank you Derek! You are truly an asset to anyone who requires your services.
