Being self-employed in a highly litigious field, having an attorney available at all times is a must.
I met Mr. Baroumes through my work and approached him for some simple legal advice. He was quick to respond with clear, concise and well thought out answers that a layman could understand.
I also used Mr. Baroumes to write my will. He made it clear, simple and spent time with me so I understood what I was getting.
He has excellent people skills and was kind and patient with me.
His rates were fair for the level of responsibility a lawyer assumes providing legal advice. I trust him and would use him any time the necessity arrived.
Derek obtained an A.A.S. in Japanese Culture from Everett Community College and holds a B.S. in Agribusiness from Arizona State University. Derek graduated from Gonzaga University School of Law and has been licensed in Arizona since May 2000.
Early in his career, Derek had the privilege of clerking for Hon. Roger Kaufman (Ret.) and Hon. Cathy Holt (Ret.), where he learned the fundamentals of fairness and professionalism from two well respected judges. He began his profession as a transactional attorney, working for a Martindale Hubbell AV-rated law firm. From there, Derek worked with a mentor who helped him learn the foundations of estate planning. Derek’s primary area of practice includes estate planning (including wills and trusts), as well as business law (including formation, acquisition, and general representation).
