Any time you are in front of a judge it can be a scary time. Derek made sure we knew what to expect and what the goals were through the entire process. He was honest and upfront and his fees are very reasonable. I will be recommending him to anyone in need of these services.

From the moment you first speak with Derek, his representation and advice will make you feel confident that no rock will remain unturned to give you the best possible outcome in your situation. Businesslike no nonsense professional, extremely knowledgeable and experienced with the ins and outs of the system in which he works (courts) he also manages to treat you with respect and humanity. I can absolutely and unequivocally recommend Derek. Hiring him for my case was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Derek Samuelson is just simply the best. Great communicator, very responsive, highly empathetic, hardest worker I've ever known. He clearly demonstrated to us why he was public defender of the year and why his peers recommend him without reservation. He achieved dismissal of our case, sealing of the record, and a successful outcome with the university administration in a short few months. Highly recommended for students who may be dealing with both legal and university administrative charges.

My children and I have experienced extensive domestic violence. I was concerned Derek would not be able to understand the dynamic of domestic violence, the impact to my children. Derek completely understands the cycle of violence, he represented our case with compassion, care and respect...that has kept us safe. A bright light that I have not seen in other representation. We are extremely grateful.

I would highly recommend attorney Derek Samuelson to represent you or a family member in times of need. Attorney Samuelson has the personal qualities of someone I would wish to consult as my lawyer. He is precise, analytical, articulate, persuasive, well-organized and confident. This, combined with his sound intellect made me confident that he represented me with my best interest at hand and a very successful outcome.
