Client Review of Derek H. Deyon – The Deyon Law Group, PLLC My experience with Derek H. Deyon and The Deyon Law Group, PLLC was extremely disappointing. I retained Mr. Deyon specifically to file an emergency Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to stop the foreclosure sale of my home. That was the... primary reason I hired him and paid his legal fees. Despite the urgency of my case, no TRO or lawsuit was filed before the scheduled foreclosure sale. Instead, without discussing it with me or obtaining my approval, he chose a different strategy by sending debt validation letters to the lender. I was never informed that he had decided not to pursue the legal action for which I retained him. During the most critical period of my case, my repeated phone calls and text messages went unanswered. I received little to no communication while the foreclosure deadline was approaching. I did not receive a meaningful response until after the critical deadline had passed. Because I could not rely on the legal services I had hired him to perform, I was forced to file an emergency Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition at the last minute in an effort to protect my home. This has had significant financial consequences for me, including damage to my credit and additional legal burdens that I believe could have been avoided. Based on my personal experience, I believe communication, diligence, and client involvement were seriously lacking. I expected my attorney to act promptly in a time-sensitive foreclosure matter and to keep me informed before making major strategic decisions. I encourage anyone considering hiring this law firm to ask detailed questions about who will handle your case, what specific legal actions will be taken, how frequently you will receive updates, and whether all strategic decisions will be discussed with you before they are made. This review reflects my own experience as a client.

Hi Mrs. Anonymous, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and we’re disappointed to hear that you’re unhappy with your experience. It appears that this is the sixth (6th) business that you’ve reviewed as liars and scammers so please allow this office to clarify a few items. We checked your client file and noted that you couldn’t afford to pay the filing and service fee for your case per your signed retainer agreement. This was noted in the email from my office to you dated August 3, 2026, and quoted directly below: “Top Client, Let me reiterate. You cannot afford a TRO. You never sent the last $500 down, which would have at least covered the filing and service fee. You don’t have enough money for what needs to be done so the route that I took was the only route. I can’t finance your case for you.   Thank You”. Our team works hard to provide responsive and compassionate service, and we’d welcome the chance to speak with you personally to better understand your concerns. Please reach out to our office at your convenience so we can discuss this further.

Thorough, attentive, and professional!

I called Mr. Deyon very last minute. I was extremely young and had no idea what I had gotten myself tied into. He not only answered my call in the middle of his lunch but he immediately proposed a solution. He’s been fighting my battle for 4 years until now that it is finally over. What a winner! He ...always keeps me in the loop and answers any questions I might have/had. He talks and describes situations in ways one can understand. I recommend him to anyone looking for resilient, reliable, and attentive professional legal representation!

Highly Recommended!

Attorney Derek Deyon was not only very professional, but he also made me feel like I was a priority, no matter how big or small my issues were. He communicated with me consistently and promptly with all of my questions and concerns, and ultimately helped me to resolve matters.

Mr. N

Attorney Deyon represented me in my civil litigation / contract dispute case. He took great care to give me a 360 view of all possible outcomes of my case and prepared me possible litigation. He was ...prompt and thorough in all written and voice communication. His expertise and familiarity with the opposing counsel as well as contract law ensured that our matters were taken seriously by opposing counsel. I would hire him again and I am extremely confident in his legal advise and representation in both contract disputes and civil litigation.
