Excellent, Top Tier Defense Lawyer in Denton

Recently had the pleasure of hiring this gentleman who promised nothing but delivered amazing results for my son. He truly worked magic that produced an amazing outcome. If you want the very best, hire him!

Best attorney in Denton county!

No lie, this man is there best in Denton county. He took my case, which looked grim to say the least. Not exactly sure what all he pulled to get the charges dropped but the end result was awesome. He got all the charges dropped and literally saved my life. I owe this man more than words can explain. ...Thank you Mr. Adame

Highly Recommended!

I hired Derek Adame after much calling around, he was the only attorney that seemed confident he could get me returned to probation and avoid prison (This was my 2nd violation while on felony probation). My back was truly against the wall, as the prosecution was committed to giving me 2 years or 12 m...onths SAFP. After a few rounds of going to court I was ASTONISHED that I got the best deal I could have hoped for. I received only 15 days in county jail, which I had the option to serve on the weekends, and was returned to deferred probation with no additional time added. Very friendly, personable guy that has obviously developed a good enough rapport with Denton County DA's to facilitate a deal as good as mine turned out to be. Highly recommended!

This guy!!

I was very satisfied with the job Derek did. I chose to work with Derek because of his confidence. His understanding of the altercation made me feel comfortable. He made me feel like I didn’t have to be so nervous or worried about going to jail. He had everything under control and I really appreciate...d that. It took a whole bunch of weight off of my shoulders with one call. I was very happy with the results from the case.
