Reviews for Derrick
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I wasn't sure about getting representation in my case. After speaking with this firm I knew what I needed to do. I don't regret my decision and they worked with me financially. I couldn't ask for better representation. Everyone was so helpful, understanding and honest with me. This is a firm I will always look to for legal advice/representation! Thank you all so very much.
In January of 2020,I got an OWI, I called Derrick George immediately and he was the perfect lawyer for my case. I had a .22 alcohol level and I only received 6 months probation and it flew by easily. He helped me during these trying times through the worst of Covid 19 when I was laid off. He was honest, trustworthy and did everything possible to turn a 2 year probation/jail time into 6 months light probation. Literally the best lawyer I could of had for an OWI/DUI. Thanks again Derrick !
most sincere and honest attorney you can find, he characterizes integrity, respect and loyalty and you will be treated as a person, as a friend, not just as merely a client.
I was referred to Mr. George through another attorney who said this he is the best attorney in town for OWI/DUI cases and trials. I had a case where I was pulled over by a Michigan State Police Trooper for speeding 15 MPH over the speed limit in Oakland County and then cited for Operating A Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Marijuana. I hired Mr. George who spent 4 hours with me on our first meeting to understand my case. After the Oakland County Prosecutor wanted to offer no deal Mr. George took it to trial after two days with a jury that ruled in my favor. I’m today allowed to continue smoking my medical marijuana for my back problems and sleep disorder. Attorney Derrick George is an outstanding litigator who cares for obtaining the best outcome for his clients. I will recommend him to anyone for any criminal matter. He treated my case as if it was his own and was always in constant communication with me. Thank you to George Law!
I just had a Oakland County DUI/OWI High BAC Refusal Case where I faced automatic license loss for 1 year because I refused the test. Got a warrant took a blood draw. High BAC .35 and was 2nd OWI enhancement. I am a Medical Doctor so I faced loss of medical license, Attorney George saved me that. Attorney Derrick George was a life saver also where he somehow worked something out with the city attorney and officer where the officer agreed to dismiss the SOS Hearing so he saved my license from being lost for 1 year. Then Attorney George went to court and got evidence thrown out by the prosecutor Judge allowed me to continue medical marijuana for my insomnia. Served 9 months write in probation and reduced the charge to reckless driving. Absolutely unbelievable job Derrick George did. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS ATTORNEY. Thank You.
Best DUI Attorney in Michigan!

If you are looking for an AMAZING/CARING criminal defense attorney please do not hesitate to Contact him no matter what time it is! He will answer!
I retained Mr George for a criminal matter I would have never anticipated getting into. He knew exactly how to handle my case and gave me realistic outcomes that I could anticipate from a worst case scenario to a best case scenario. He obviously worked towards the best case scenario and actually got my charges dismissed!!! I would have never thought that was possible. My. George leverages his knowledge and his relationships when possible to get the best results. Higher him for your legal issues!
