Primarily mediation and uncontested cases. I also go to family court and probate court to obtain custody and other orders that are necessary to obtain special immigrant visas for children (SIJS).

Immigration 50%

I focus on family-based immigration, especially juvenile visas for children known as special juvenile immigrants (SIJS cases) - those children who have been subject to abuse, abandonment, or neglect by one or both parents.

Dedicated and Results Driven

I first met Derrick in August 2014. He has been an exceptional attorney that listens to the objective I'm looking to achieve. He's helped me on several legal matters and I plan to refer him to anyone that's seeking an attorney that will deliver the outcomes you are hoping for most.

Divorce attorney

I hired Derrick Taberski for my divorce. He helped me win spousal and child support. I was awarded more support than I even expected to get. He also helped me get a judgment for my Ex to pay a good portion of my legal fees. Derrick is very detail oriented. He comes to court prepared and has all the d...ocumentation ready and available to give to the judge. When my Ex would not provide any proof of income Derrick sent a subpoena to his employers and got all the necessary information. When my Ex would not provide proof of bank accounts Derrick sent a subpoena to his banks and found several thousands of hidden dollars. Beside the money aspect, Derrick helped me with physical custody of my children. He had it put in writing who the children live with and what the visitation would be so that there were no questions regarding this issue before the divorce was final. Derrick has always made himself available to me when I felt I needed help or advice either in person, by phone, or text, or email. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
