“I would highly recommend Derek Oliverson from my personal experience with the situation regarding my case.  He helped me in a very professional manor and it showed with the outcome of my charges.  I was being charged with DUI along with a felony. Thanks to God for presenting myself with such a 5 star lawyer!  Derek’s firm and experience got ALL the charges DROPPED as if nothing had ever happened! I feel very grateful and appreciative for the firm. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome to conclude that case.

Thank you very much”
