What an amazing experience. Michael Derden and the team were just unbelievable! I had a very complicated case and the team delivered. I'm grateful to have had a team so willing to be involved, specially because no other lawyer wanted to even try to work with this particular case. Michael and team, thank you! I can't help but feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Derden Law throughout this wild ride.

My husband and I have retained James as an attorney on and off for the last 10 years. James was able to help us navigate legal nuances that other attorneys had said weren't possible to get through. He has listened to all of our concerns, answer all of our questions, advocated for us, and stepped in legally, when needed. James is very thorough and genuinely great at his job. We recommend him to anyone looking for an immigration attorney.
