I was involved in an auto accident while at work. I called The Derrick Law Firm, and the receptionist transferred me directly to an attorney who accepted my case immediately. They began working on workers compensation and got me a substantial settlement. They also represented me in the accident part of the case and got another substantial settlement and are currently working to reduce my medical costs. I could not have asked for better representation. Everyone made themselves available day or night for questions or concerns. I really can't say enough good things about everyone at The Derrick Law Firm. I would like to personally thank Brandon Hylton, Heather Rowell, Jennifer Sides, Stacy Jo Townsend, Amanda Tyler and anyone who I may have left out who worked on my case. Everyone has been fantastic and I could not have wished for a better outcome. Thank you all.
I was in a automobile accident back in November 2020. I got rear ended while driving a passenger for Lyft. I first called and consulted and then when I felt like I was going no where I called back and hired them. Dyllan was my lawyer and I couldn't be more pleased with the way him and his team all introduced themselves and got in touch with me regarding my case and what they each were going to be handling. Within A week I was receiving physical therapy . They guided me every step off the way. From Dr visits, my MRI, and getting referred. Anytime I had questions Dyllan would either reply back by email or call me if it was something he felt needed more discussion or a better explanation. I can't thank them enough for being my rock when sometimes I felt lost and overwhelmed. Thank you all for everything!
I was involved in a motorcycle accident and went to The Derrick Law Firm. They gave me the help I needed. The staff are all very friendly and professional. They handled and settled my case in a timely fashion
"I am very impressed with The Derrick Law Firm. I have been treated very courteous and efficiently and well represented. Renee Jordan and Dirk Derrick handled all my questions in a timely and knowledgeable fashion. Thank you again."

We never want to find our self in a situation that we need an attorney to fight for our rights, but when I found myself in that very situation I was fortunate enough to have Dirk Derrick representing my best interests. He and his team were always available to me, and proved to be knowledgeable, professional, and aggressive, but most of all trustworthy. The Derrick Law Firm's staff gets A+ all around. Everyone is professional and courteous.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
