He's more of a debt collector not an attorney. They can send out bills for other people but can't tell you what they're for.

Derek is an absolute bottom feeder as far as lawyers go. He collects hefty fees, ( which he refuses to itemize or send a real invoice for) yet doesn't respond or acknowledge calls or emails. Also incredibly unprofessional and rude on an overall basis. A potato would do a better job and actually earn their salary. Derek is an embarrassment to lawyers everywhere and likely his family too.
