So professional and dependable!
Derek May helped us through a very sensitive, difficult time in our lives and never made us feel like failures. He was always straight forward and honest but did it with respect and sensitivity and always told us what was next. He explained what legal notices meant as we were not used to the court language. He was always diligent to get motions filed on time and was always professional. We had one instance at the beginning of our process that we had to personally appear before a judge and he was with us every step of the way and handled everything on our behalf. He prepped us on what to expect so we were well prepared. Bankruptcy is nothing we ever planned for and we tried to avoid it at any cost. There was just no other way in our case and we are so grateful we had Derek to walk through the process with. We would highly recommend Derek May if you find yourself in a situation where you need to walk through this process.
