About Derek
Biography
I went to law school at the University of Colorado. While there, I was on the International Law Moot Court team, and served as an associate editor of Colorado Law Review. Fun times, fun times.
I started practicing law as an intern at the DA's office. After a while, I went to the other side of the aisle to criminal defense. At the same time, I got my feet wet in bankruptcy, contracts, family law, and debt collection defense. I spent two years representing people in disability cases before I decided to start my own firm in 2014.
I now specialize in representing people who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances. People who are overburdened with debt or have been harassed by debt collectors need legal help, and I'm here to help them. People who can no longer work because of health issues need their disability benefits, and I'm here to help them. I've dedicated my entire practice to helping people in need, at very reasonable rates.

Social Security
I had the pleasure of having Mr. Freeman represent me in a SSA (Social Security Claim.) He was knowable and handled my claim with professional aggression. We won our claim, and it has benefited me to this day. I would highly recommend his service.

Derek did not do a good job on my SSDI case. He failed to keep me informed. He failed to respond to communications from me and the SSA. He failed to provide evidence to the SSA. He failed to inform me of missing medical records until I showed up at the hearing.

Derek Freeman represented/is representing me on a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case /
He has been very professional and seemed genuinely concerned about my situation as i just came from a very bad experience with another attorney that has me despising most of those in that profession. That attorney's name is Timothy J. Priebe Jr. Esquire tho I haven't figured why the esquire is there...
