Hired him because he was the first consult available. Paid $5000 retainer. Fired him after 2 months with no motions filed and no contact. He kept $2200 of the retainer. I hired a new attorney and he had motions filed in the first week. My advice, keep looking.

Derrick helped to finalize my divorce. He made the process much less stressful and made sure everything was filed correctly and because of that I was able to focus on more important matters. Great service all the way around. I would definitely recommend!
