also known as Derick Stoker
Attorney Stoker is the principal attorney of Stoker Law Firm. He is the second youngest out of five children with three brothers and a sister which led him to thrive on competition. His mother often reminds him of when he was in elementary school telling her he wanted to be a lawyer.
After graduating from Melrose High School in 2011, Attorney Stoker attended Merrimack College in North Andover, Massachusetts where he earned a double-major in Political Philosophy and History with a double-minor in Law, Ethics, and Society and French. Following his college graduation, Attorney Stoker immediately enrolled at Suffolk University Law School in Boston, Massachusetts.
While attending Suffolk, Attorney Stoker served as a fellow in the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project, studied international law at Lund University in Sweden, and earned a concentration in Business Law and Financial Services.
Attorney Stoker's legal career began with an internship his senior year at Merrimack with Gomez & Palumbo, LLC where he was introduced to client-focused legal services. While in law school, Attorney Stoker also worked with the clerk's office for the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusett's Single Justice session drafting memoranda for the clerks and justices and reviewing various petitions to the court. Additionally, Attorney Stoker worked as a trust associate with Loring, Wolcott & Coolidge Trust Company reviewing trust instruments and wills as well as researching "uniform laws" between the 50 states for the company's many clients.
Upon graduating from Suffolk University Law School, Attorney Stoker applied and was admitted to practice before the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. His first role as an attorney was with Jouret LLC, a Boston firm focused on civil litigation and appeals. While at Jouret LLC, Attorney Stoker honed his drafting skills while working on civil complaints, responding to complaints, and propounding discovery.
In February of 2019, Attorney Stoker followed his heart to California where he endured and triumphed over a second bar exam only six months after his first. After receiving news of his passing scores, Attorney Stoker was offered an position with Dayan Houman, Professional Law Corporation. Here, Attorney Stoker managed dozens of personal injury cases and simultaneously negotiated settlements, in turn recovering hundreds of thousands of dollars for his clients.
Now, Attorney Stoker is applying the same determination with which he conquered a double-major and double-minor in college, a J.D. with a concentration in Business Law & Financial Services, two 6-hour bar exams, a cross-country move, and now the COVID-19 pandemic to helping his own clients. Attorney Stoker's dedication to his clients and diligence in addressing their unique issues is evident in the amount of time he affords these matters. Most people would shy away from hiring an attorney because of the expected costs. However, Attorney Stoker decided he needed to be his own boss, so he could provide legal assistance the way it should be: with the client at the center.

Client
Having procrastinated for a long time, It was important for me as a senior in my 70’s to finally work on my end of life plan and complete important and appropriate legal documents to achieve that goal. I hoped that the plans I made wouldn’t be complicated, easy to understand and flow as effortlessly...
Thank you very much for your review and your willingness to share your experience working with me!
