I don't know where to begin..to keep things short, if you need a lawyer, choose Derek Ewin. This guy was there for me from the beginning till the end. He handled everything that needed to be done and let me go on living my everyday life without the extra burden of dealing with the court system and DMV. The best part about him is his true care for his clients. I was in an awful state of mind when I got my DUI. Derek was there for me and was available to call even if I just needed someone to talk to. He's a class act and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. I was pulled over for a DUI and blew a .093. I was cited and expected to have my license suspended and also expected hefty fines. After 3 months of Derek's hard work, my case has been completely dropped! A+++++++ I would recommend to ANYONE!

Derek was calm, cool, and collective. He is well mannered man, very Professional to all types of lawyers including the DA's office. I believe his background of having been on both sides of the court room helped lot in my case. He didn't hesitate to pray with us upon request. He helped lower charges and with virtually no jail time. I was able to do everything the court asked of me including 52 weeks of DV classes, with a few years of probation. Derek is very knowledgeable and kind. But, very assertive as needed. Thanks a lot Derek! I am free to live a second chance to live a better life and to serve others. May the Lord be with you.

I just want to start out by saying this man is not just an attorney you talk to on a business level, but a friend. He is a great person and the best defense lawyer i have ever spoke to in my life. I was facing severe felony charges and at times felt no hope. I was going to college and wanted to have a bright future, but I knew that my charges could prevent all that. Derek was always there to keep my head up and keep everything in my life positive. The one and only thing he asks from you is honesty. Derek was able to resolve my case to an even better outcome than I was hoping for. This man did not only protect me through this case, but in a very strong sense he saved my life. I strongly recommend Derek Ewin as a criminal defense lawyer.

There are literally a handful of people for whom I would take a bullet. This list includes my family and a few friends. Honestly, in my wildest dreams, I would never have contemplated that I would add an acquaintence, much less a lawyer to this list. Derek Ewin has given me my life back - it's a good thing too because it would have ruined Christmas for my wife and three kids. My family and I knew I was innocent, and the first person I had initially hired was not proactive and was completely ineffective. I was lucky enough to have my sister and the rest my family advocating for me, and monitoring my first attorney's activities. That is when Derek came into the picture. My sister, who lives 3,000 miles away, then referred me to Derek. It may sound incredible, but she, as well as the rest of my family, and her entire church, prayed that I would be led to somebody who would help to redeem me. She claims it took her less than two minutes to search for attornies in this area, when something told her to give Derek's number to me. Obviously I wouldn't be writing this if my outcome had been different. You can trust him, and in fact, you should trust him. Derek is an expert at navigating the legal playing field. I'd also add he is widely respected not just by his peers, but also by the courts. And deservedly so. He communicates in a calm, crisp fashion, outlining every option available to you. It is wise to adhere to his advice, because he is the consummate expert on the law. He is a true optimist, yet a realist at the same time. He will give you the best and worse case scenarios - but keep your faith, and he will have faith with you. I am not a very religious man, but I truly believe the Lord works through him. Bottom line - If you believe you are innocent, don't give up, tell him the truth, and you really couldn't have a better professional on your side.

The first time i spoke to him I knew that he was the one I want to represent me. He was very clear with his explanations and was very strategic in handling my case. He was also very prompt and professional. Even after my case got dismissed, he still was very helpful to me. I am very satisfied with the way he handled my case. I couldn't thank him enough. Hiring him was the best choice.

Derek Ewin assisted me through a very tough period of my life. He did so while providing me with realistic potential outcomes. He was straight and to the point but never lacked empathy for what I was going through. I highly recommend Mr. Ewin's services if you find yourself up against the legal system's meat grinder. He will explore all options and give you timely information so that you do not feel in the dark. While incarcerated I was kept informed personally be several visits. He never judged me, but looked at the issues at hand from several perspectives while maintaining a firm grip on the legal aspect and ramifications. His demeanor while in court was professional and it was clear that the court too shared my respect for Mr. Ewin.

I thank God daily for discovering Derek Ewin and that he was able to give me back my husband and in one piece. I have told everyone I know, if you need an excellent attorney call Derek Ewin. It was by chance (or maybe not) that I did an internet search and saw his website. God intervened when he answered the phone on a Sunday night. From the beginning both Pat and I had a real good feeling about him, sometimes you just know you can trust someone. Derek always listened with true empathy and were there for us not only as our attorney but as our friend. He listened to all our concerns and comforted us when necessary. He never lost faith in Pat. He is a man of integrity, gentleness, righteousness and decency. Justice has been served thanks to him. Derek handled our case with class and grace...we owe you our lives him.

I need to share with you how much knowing Derek Ewin and having him work on my case has changed our life. Derek was always there for both of us (my wife and I) when we needed him no matter the time of day, or the day of the week. He gently guided me through the legal jungle that I faced, and made it possible for me to go on when sometimes it seemed like the nightmare would never end. There were times that I despaired of ever being able to get out from under the bureaucratic errors that had me facing possible jail, fines, and loss of license. When I describe Derek to others who have not had the pleasure of meeting him I tell them that he are a true Christian gentleman. Even when cross examining a witness he does it without doing injury. The CHP officer had praise for Derek and the way he treated him even after cross examination. Derek was able to show his errors and have him discredit his own testimony without humiliating, insulting or degrading him in any way. In my heart I know it is his faith that makes Derek who he is, and it is that faith that made it possible for him to do all he did to save me. I thank him for giving me back my life. Pat
