Professional, Knowledge and Patience!!

I wasn’t sure if bankruptcy was the best route for me to take so I’m thankful that I found this law firm when I was contemplating on what to do. Derek Prosser was very professional and transparent when I asked him questions. He provided me with enough information to make a decision that gave me pea...ce. Derek was in constant communication with me and he responded quickly whenever I needed an answer to my questions or had a concern about something. I spoke with several law firms and this one had the most reasonable down payment that allowed me to get my bankruptcy started without any delays. Derek was very patient and knowledgeable of the BK law which was also a big plus! I’m very happy with my decision to file Chapter 13 and working with Derek and his firm made this journey a little bit easier.

Toronjo & Prosser Law Firm are the Best!

I recently found myself in a tough financial situation and needed guidance on navigating bankruptcy. After researching several attorneys, I decided to go with Derek Keith Prosser. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, he provided exceptional service and expertise every step of the wa...y. 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 13 was filed quickly (once all documents were submitted on my end)!! I spoke to a different law office previously and chose to stay with Derek’s law firm! He knows what he is talking about, is reliable and the price is reasonable!! If you're in need of a bankruptcy attorney, I highly recommend reaching out to Derek Keith Prosser.

A wonderful experience!

Derek was a great bankruptcy attorney. He led me through the process exceptionally well. Not having done this before, I was a little nervous about how everything worked but Derek answered all my questions and made me feel totally at ease. If you're looking for a great bankruptcy attorney, Derek is yo...ur guy!

Derek Prosser was Great!

I was very hesitant to file bankruptcy not having any knowledge of what to do. I found Derek Prosser and he explained everything step by step and put me at great ease. He was organized and filed quickly for me. His communication was great and responded within the same day of any questions I had. ...I would highly recommend him!
