Hired him for my son ten years ago, watching him on YSL case brought back just how horrible of an attorney he was. He would not show up or was late. When wanted a jury trial he said take a plea or pay in full. He is about money and should be called king of plea bargains.

Attorney Derek Wright!! This man is a crook and a liar! He abandoned my son's case & he's only been hired for 3 months and refuses to answer any calls or texts to explain why he thinks he's going to take our money & abandon my son's case! He never showed up for court on time or visited my son, he made promise after promise & assured us he would fight for my son. He used a juvenile excuse saying me the mom called & texted too much about the case.. how else was the family supposed to get updates on the case because he never called or did the job he was paid for!! I wish I had seen the negative reviews on "FindLaw" of other clients complaining about how incompetent he is before we hired this clown or even the complaint with the board that shows his history of being a liar!! Do not hire this wannabe Johnny Cochran because he doesn't have the experience to do the job....if you do hire him you'll regret it, save yourself the trouble! He's a hypocrite

I see so many comments about Incompetent, Thief, Unreliable ect… Now!! I have known Derek for over 20 years and have been a very reliable and responsible. I have called him myself, and it will be a minute before he returns my call, but he do return them. He is a very busy man because he comes highly recommend. Y’all please let’s be fare and not bash him until he prove himself incapable of being a great Attorney for your team. I promise if y’all be fare, give him time. You will win your case. This is what I experienced with him. I have use his services twice and never been disappointed. Let’s be fare guys!!!

Mr. Right Is an exemplary example Of what an attorney embodies and what an attorney should stand for. Mr. Wright is Just good old-fashioned gets the job done what you ask of him he will make it a reality. Everybody's case is different but If you walk into that courtroom with Mr. Wright your in great hands. He is respected in every courtroom from Fulton to Dekalb County and is taken very serious by the D.A. Personally he has successfully defeated 3 separate felony indictment that were non related that happened at 3 different times in my life. He has won a motion to suppress hearing for me,Very impressive. You rarely see that live in action when it counts most He has preserved my freedom and innocence On several occasions. And for this I am eternally grateful. Honestly Mr. Wright is MR. RIGHT. If you want someone who is articulate,sharp, cunning, and will actually win, he's your guy. If you want someone to exceed expectations and that always has the right game plan. -N.A.

Hi, my name is Malcolm. I want to let everyone know that Derek is the best lawyer. I was charged with murder and I was facing life. Derek got all of my charges dropped and I was released as a free man without probation. He is very experienced in his field and he knows everything about the justice system. I want to thank him for everything he has done for me and my family. Please call him if you need a lawyer. He will work with you and your family when it's time for a payment.

I hired attorney Wright for several different cases. The first was a case against my landlord. Mr.Wright not only kept me informed of my rights and up to speed on the currect laws concerning my case.The end result was great not only did i win against the landlord who filed against me;I was awarded a judgement against the landlord. I also had a few civil cases against another person for harassment and stalking. Mr.Wright respresented me and I was grated a Tpo against the person for 12 months. He also filed my annulment which was quick professional and done in a timely manner. I have since referred attorney Wright to several friends and family. One client I referred went for a divorce. After going to battle against his clients wife in trial. Not only did his client get granted a divorce he also won primary custody of his two minor children. I am extremely pleased with him!!!

Attorney Derek Wright is an amazing attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable, charismatic which is a great characteristic to have during a trial, he pays attention to the smallest details, and he thinks quickly on his feet. I had 6 felony charges with a maximum sentence of 65 years I was found not guilty of all six charges. I will forever be grateful for Derek's hardwork and dedication in regards to my case. He also worked with me in regards to a payment plan. I will definitely refer him to anyone that is in need of a criminal defense attorney. I thank god but I also thank Derek for giving me my life back.
