While attending Chapman University and pursuing my degree in Legal Studies, I was also active on the golf team and served as captain one year. During the summers, I would work at my father's law office learning the ins-and-outs of helping people involved in car accidents, slip-and-falls, and other injury related accidents. It was my time working there that caused me to want to go to law school and help clients avoid the stresses of trying to handle an injury case on their own and to help clients avoid getting taken advantage of by the insurance companies. I attended Western State University while still working in various capacities at my father's law office. I always knew that personal injury law was what I wanted to do when I passed the bar exam, and my chosen curriculum helped me to obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to be an effective advocate for my clients. I will work hard to make sure that you obtain the best possible result, if you choose me to assist you.

"A relatively young lawyer who blends enthusiasm, hard work, and ethics with the experienced he gained by working side by side with his father for many years. I would unequivocally recommend this attorney."
"I have known Derek's father, Clint Holland, for over 35 years. His father's practice has continuously represented the clients I have referred over the years in an exceptional manner. I know that Derek's addition to the firm will only contribute in a positive manner."
"Although Derek is a relatively new lawyer, he is experienced beyond his time as a lawyer. He has been working side-by-side with his father, who has been practicing exclusively personal injury for years, in order to hone his skills in the field. Derek's knowledge in the area is impressive.
