I read all of the reviews before choosing this firm and was initially optimistic about hiring them, but our experience did not turn out as expected. We hired these lawyers expecting them to be professional and careful, but we feel they showed zero fight in defending us. Unfortunately, this was our experience in a nutshell. My husband and I hired them for a disorderly charge in Hazel Park. We provided them with critical evidence--including video footage establishing harassment by neighbors, false statements in police reports, explaining there was police bodycam footage contradicting the noise allegations, and we also explained that some of our neighbors would be witnesses. I also explained that we were never cited for any of the accusations. However, in our view, the attorneys failed to review or utilize any of it. Instead of investigating the facts, challenging the weak discovery, or building a defense, we felt they ignored our concerns and just wanted to resolve the case by having us plead guilty. We felt that they were minimizing the situation as just a "low misdemeanor." We felt their lack of preparation directly impacted our case outcome. I can't begin to explain the mental and financial impact this had on my family. Beyond our $10,000 retainer agreement, we were charged an additional $331 for video discovery. Despite paying for these materials, they failed to provide it to us until after our court hearing had already concluded. We did not get a chance to review critical evidence to make an informed decision to proceed with trial or sign the plea agreement. We initially signed and pleaded to a 6 month delayed sentence with the city's attorney and the lawyers, and upon successful completion, it will be dismissed. However, once we went for sentencing, they changed the agreement and sentenced us to 10 months delayed sentence. We had the choice to withdraw our plea or accept sentence. At this point, we were over all the injustice and wanted to be done, so we continued with the sentence. We felt that they did not have our best interests at heart. In our opinion, this firm took our money, ignored our evidence, and completely failed to defend their clients. We were never even cited by the police, yet we were left to deal with the heavy consequences of our lawyers' failure to advocate for us. Over minor allegations of playing music in a gazebo and a car--which did not even occur during quiet hours--we were forced to surrender our CPL licenses, subjected to a no-contact order, required to pay court costs, and ordered to attend an impulse control class at our own expense, in addition to my husband completing 25 hours of community service. Our case is officially dismissed as of today and we wanted to share our perspective on how our case was handled. Since this review, we are now being threatened for defamation or either remove the review. Now we are in fear of retaliation because we chose to exercise our first amendment right regarding our personal experience with this law firm. We believe in GOD, and our faith and prayers got us through this rough time. No evil prospered against us, and no power is above Jehovah, the Almighty. Honestly, we'd suggest looking somewhere else for trustworthy legal help. read more

Most of all of the reviews on this page are fake, so I wanted to display something real. That way no one bothers wasting their time and money here. Derrick can careless about your time, and efforts of finding the sewer works in. These text message prove that after I terminated my representation with him within 24 hours. He tried charging me double, and after I did more research the very next day, he dropped his price by 40 percent. Like how is that possible 24 hours later? Then he got upset and felt like I didn't have the right to cancel representation from him and his law firm, after losing credibility. He judged me from the clothing and my job, and made up a high price he felt like I could afford. Don't answer any irrelevant questions if go to this scam office, because he's just using it to his advantage. I knew I should have steer away from this place based off his corn ball picture. Steer away from Chester The Out of Shape Cheetah! THEY CAN NOT HELP YOU HERE! read more

I had a DUI situation that was a little different because I don't live in Michigan but got pulled over in this state. Troy to be exact, which I've heard is extremely strict and punitive about DUIs. I was nervous about what I was looking at as a worst-case scenario. I couldn't afford to be detained in Michigan for any reason because I couldn't lose my job out of state. Derrick had so much experience in this field and especially in the city of Troy. He was able to find a lesser known solution and instead of just being the attorney that shows up and gets whatever punishment is dealt to his client, he worked with the prosecutor and really vouched for me to get a result that was better than what I was hoping for. I'm so glad I found Attorney Derrick George and that he went to work for me. Even though the route he took was the longer and harder one, he knew it would get me the best result and didn't hesitate for a second to go to bat for me! read more

I can't recommend George Law in Royal Oak highly enough. Their team of attorneys is truly transparent -- they do exactly what they say they're going to do, every step of the way. What stood out most to me was how they set realistic expectations from the very beginning. They took the time to explain both the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence in my case, so I always knew where I stood, while still advocating fiercely on my behalf. They didn't just win my case -- they won my husband's case too. Having gone through this process twice with them, I can say with confidence that their honesty, communication, and results are consistent. If you're looking for attorneys who are upfront, hardworking, and genuinely in your corner, look no further than George Law. Five stars, without hesitation! read more

I had a case where my brother and I were unfairly charged for assault. I had the good sense to hire an attorney that I'd heard was well-versed in the Novi courts and had a lot of experience with the judges there and it was completely the right decision. Derrick was able to get the case dropped in such a short amount of time that everything was resolved at what seemed like lightning speed. He got a great result and knew exactly what to do. I'm hoping I don't need a lawyer again but if I do, he's my go-to from now on. read more

Best lawyer I have ever come across and his communication skill are definitely without a doubt unmatched. He worked very hard on my case looking at all the options possible instead of just trying to take he easy way out and cop out. Prices are great and if you are in the market for a lawyer he is definitely the man to get the job done. read more
