I was extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case and the support I received along the way. Derick was a great listener, was organized, well prepared, professional, caring, and confident. I am grateful for his expertise and attentiveness that helped me through this challenge in my life.

He worked on the prosecution side so he knows the system better than anyone. If you’ve got any type of legal issue he is the guy you want in your corner. No questions asked.

Best attorney I’ve ever hired. Very responsive and set the appropriate expectations.

Mr. Gay represented my two teenagers in a traffic case. His customer service was exceptional. Mr. Gay gave good sound advice which led to the best possible outcome. I would recommend Mr. Gay to anyone who needed an attorney.

I retained Mr. Gay for a PFA response after an old ex spouse resurfaced with some old allegations which spanned over a decade and multiple countries. Initially the evidence that she presented was significant but Mr. Gay was very quick to spot all of the inconsistencies and lies which showed her true motive. After multiple attempts to have the PFA dropped prior to the hearing we knew we were facing a tough fight since my ex only had to show preponderance of evidence for her PFA. My ex had free counsel representing her and the judge was showing clear bias against us. However each step of the way Mr. Gay was able to argue case law and rule of evidence to prevent my ex from submitting very narrow portions of our conversations which made her look good and me bad. Within the first 30 minutes he used several tactics to derail my accuser and her lawyer which ultimately led to them agreeing to drop the PFA. This all happened before Mr. Gay was able to present his argument. The fact that he was able to get my ex to drop the PFA before he even had his turn to argue is testament to his ability to control the case and obtain a favorable outcome. He has always been very transparent with me and provided me realistic outcomes but never gave up or conceded. Communication with him and his firm has been excellent and I felt that he was adequately prepared to defend me. He has 5 years experience as a prosecutor and now as a defense attorney he is well prepared to defend you. I highly recommend Mr. Gay for a consultation at the least.

Derek Gay was very responsive and helpful! Would definitely recommend him

My 17 year old son received a speeding ticket while visiting Bethany Beach from Baltimore. In DE minors are summoned to appear in court if they receive a speeding ticket. We hired Derek in hopes of not having to travel back to DE and to avoid costly points on his license which would bring increased auto insurance premiums. Derek successfully negotiated a plea with the police department which ended in my son having to take a 4 hour defensive driving course but avoiding a return trip, points, and fines. He learned his lesson and we saved money in the end. Derek was very responsive and easy to deal with while also being effective.

Derek Gay was straight to the deal when it came to my case and charges. He is very realistic and straightforward as well as professional. He handled multiple serious charges on my accounts and resolved them with a terrific outcome. I would highly suggest consulting with Mr. Gay for representation on your behalf with cases brought to court.

Derek is one of the best attorneys I've ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always prompt and responsive when I had questions inside or outside of our meetings. Meeting Derek, I could see clearly, this was the right guy, who Genuinely wants to help resolve the problem. He is the right choice in representing my interests to resolve the issues which required proper, professional, and, prompt representation. So if you're still finding yourself looking for the right attorney, Derek is certainly a good find! His services are exemplary!

Derek did an amazing job. He did a great job of keeping me informed throughout the whole ordeal. I was very pleased with the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone that finds themselves in need of an attorney.

Mr Gay was very knowledgeable of my situation. He was able to get my case dropped without me a searing in court since I lived in Richmond, VA. I really appreciate the level of respect and communication. Will definitely use him again if needed!

Derek represented my son in Alderman’s court (very small town court) the judge nor the police officer were prepared for him. Derek pretty much left the police officer speechless. If we didn’t hire Derek my son would have had to plead guilty for his traffic violation and would have lost his job because he isn’t allowed to have points on his license. I would highly recommend Derek. He stayed in communication and responsibly priced.
