Horrible

Horrible! If you're a woman, DO NOT waste your time or money. Derek Austin doesn't have knowledge. You can get better advice from googling than talking to him.

Worst service

Worst experience with this firm. They are just making a money with chit chat and put you in trouble - Lawyers of this firm are not capable to provide strong arguments - They will put you in trouble and make your simple case to more complex - Today I am completely broken because of them. They will pro...mise you for number of things but at the end they will make you loose your case. I strongly recommend you to not go with this firm as you are just a project for them and they simply make money out of you and at the end you are at the loosing end - So far I learned that you should fight your case by your own - They are not here to help you but to make money out of you.

Poor Communication

He is very sarcastic and do not care for their clients. Only cares about money.

Compassionate

I have used Derek as my Family Lawyer for 7 years now. He continues to represent me in the up most professional manner as well as keep me informed of what is going on with my case. I have recommended him to several people and would continue to do so. It's nice to know there are still attorney's ar...ound with such integrity!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

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.
