I am a trial lawyer who enjoys representing good people who have been done wrong. I treat my clients the way I want to be treated, and I love being in the courtroom.
I am also the father of four--two boys and two girls--that are high school and college aged. I have been married to my college sweetheart for 24 years and counting. In my limited spare time I enjoy hunting, cycling, and volunteering with the local volunteer fire department.

I think Derek did a great job for me. He kept me informed and checked in with me often. He explained everything to me and was very easy to talk to. Derek and his office staff were .very friendly and professional

Derek is a great guy and is very knowledgeable in his job. He is always willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to help his clients out. I really enjoy working with him and value our friendship.

Derek is a terrific litigator and not only very responsive, but also kept me apprised of developments all along the way. He and his team were also a pleasure to work with, and I would use them again in a heartbeat!
