Derrick is amazing!

Choosing the right attorney is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make, and Derrick is absolutely amazing! I went through a really brutal, high conflict divorce, and Derrick was by my side every step of the way. He’s calm yet strategic, incredibly knowledgeable in family law, and genu...inely cares about his clients. He truly helped me get through one of the most difficult times in my life. I highly recommend him. This is my first time ever writing a review, but I wanted to share my experience in hopes it helps someone else going through a divorce and looking for the right attorney.

Legal expertise with genuine empathy

Navigating a divorce is never easy, but Derrick made the process significantly more manageable. From our very first meeting, he was incredibly kind, compassionate, and patient, taking the time to explain every step and answer all my questions thoroughly. What truly sets Derrick apart is his remark...able ability to diffuse heightened emotions and keep discussions focused on the practical aspects of the case. His calming presence and clear guidance were invaluable in ensuring everything stayed on track. He provided excellent advice, and I felt supported and well-informed throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a divorce attorney who combines legal expertise with genuine empathy, I wholeheartedly recommend Derrick Roehn.

Absolutely Stellar Legal Guidance!

Derrick is beyond fantastic! Saw 2 other divorce lawyers multiple times, but one session with Derrick got me farther than everything I did prior. He was knowledgeable, helpful and a pleasure to work with. Feel so much better prepared to navigate my separation. Guided me on specifics about property/mo...rtgage ownership in regards to my divorce. I would sincerely recommend his legal services to anyone I know. Top tier quality!!!

Trustworthy, professional and prepared!

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have worked with Derrick. In 2019 I reached out to him regarding my dissolution and at the time used him as a “consultant” where we worked together on an issue-by-issue basis. It was Derrick himself that suggested this and it was his transparency that sealed ...the deal for me. After some time it became apparent that I needed to attain him as my attorney while trying to finalize my MSA (property and child custody were big areas of contention). It was a 3 year process and I am so relieved to say that the dissolution has been finalized! Derrick is level headed, fair, compassionate and knew how to level set my expectations by balancing sympathy and reality. I appreciate his candidness, professionalism (especially in court!), the angles he approached my case, and overall tact. I trust Derrick COMPLETELY. I felt heard when I aired out my concerns. He’s always on top of all communication with OPC (even if OPC wasn’t so responsive). He’s extremely prepared during court hearings/appearances. He advocated for me and my son. I really can’t say enough great things about Derrick and his practice. Highly recommend him!!!
