I was recommended to Derek after receiving a DWI. I was scared, filled with anxiety, and completely unaware of the whole process. I have never been arrested and have always been a responsible person. An unfortunate series of incidents changed my life in a moment and I found myself needing help. Derek answered my call and made an appt with me the next day. He listened, was reassuring but was also honest in the process. He answered all my questions, walked me through the process, and aggressively fought for me as an individual. In a very uneasy and challenging time, he was able to reduce my charge to a DWAI. Besides the classes, conditional license, and fines, I have my life back and an opportunity to be more educated, stronger, and help others. Derek went above and beyond for me. He knows the law, and he is a person of integrity.

I was charged with DWI.. I was referred to Derek and so glad I was. From the first phone call I made to him I was well informed of what to expect. He took care of everything for me and was always straight to the point. He stayed very professional but he’s also a real person and makes you feel comfortable. He knows what he’s doing, he doesn’t sugarcoat anything and he will return communication within minutes. He fought for me and my case and got me down to the lowest possible thing I could’ve gotten. Pricing is beyond reasonable. You won’t be disappointed you chose Derek to represent you!

He helped reduce my driving while texting ticket! Very thankful he did a great job! Would use him again

I hired Mr. Wild for a speeding ticket I received. Not only did he take care of everything so that I did not have to appear in court but he also got me a very minimal fine with no points on my license. Hiring Mr. Wild was the best choice I could have made and he would be the first phone call I made if I ever find myself in need of an attorney!!!

I used Adam for a recent DUI arrest, and he was a pleasure to work with. From day one he was upfront about what my expectations should be, and what he would be able to do for me given my situation. This being my 3rd such arrest in a relatively short period of time, I wasn't to optimistic about my chances in this case. However, Adam was able to work his magic, and I won't ruin the ending, but I was pleased with the results. If you made it this far, it should go without saying that I recommend Mr. Militello. I pray I'll never need his services again, but if the worse does happen I know who I'll be calling.

Very happy with results, responds any day of the week, also shows up on short notice. Would definitely use again if needed. Great attorney if you are in need! :)

I was referred to Derek through a friend of a friend, and was very comfortable and happy with him from the first consultation. He's a straight-shooter; he told me exactly what to expect in my DWI case - the good with the bad. He always communicated well with me and was never hard to reach when I had a question. He charged me a flat rate that included all court appearances, hearings and related paperwork. His experience was obvious and put me at ease throughout the process.

I am an attorney at a large well known law firm. I found myself charged with a criminal offense that could have serious consequences to my job and my law license. I spoke to a number of attorneys and was told to hire a semi famous ‘elder statesman’ to handle my case. I spoke to him and he wanted $10,000 which seemed like too much considering the routine nature of the case. I also got Derek’s name from another lawyer I respect. I met with Derek and he made a good impression so I went with him. I’m glad I did. He got me a plea deal that I was happy with and he kept me informed on case status often. I would recommend Derek without reservation. He is an excellent lawyer and probably the best value proposition in Rochester as far as I know.

Derek was recommended by a family member for my husbands DUI case. From the start, he was responsive and met with us immediately. He answered phone calls and texts promptly and did everything he could to get us through the process quickly and efficiently. He was forthright, honest, and to the point and made sure we were aware of everything pertaining to the case and all possible outcomes. He was very knowledgable and helped us to feel we were in good hands and being represented fairly.

As both my friend and I couldnt be represented by the same lawyer for our case the lawyer she had astually referred Derek to me. I spoke with Derek over the phone first to see if my case was something he was able to take over. We went over and covered the basics of my case which was a petit larceny case in Ontario county. Derek was very reasonable with pricing and was confident he would be able to tackle my case. So with that being said I did decide to hire him. When I met with Derek we sat down and I went more into depth on the matters of my case. He was very honest with me and let me know what would be expected moving forward. He laid everything out and informed me on all possible outcomes. If I had any other questions Derek was only a phone call, text or email away in which he responded fairly quickly to. He was never inconvenienced by any of my questions regardless of how minor they may have been. Ultimately he guided the case to a successful resolution as well as the best possible outcome in my eyes. I was granted an ACD as well as community service which isnt likely for Ontario County. I am very grateful to have had such a dedicated advocate who represented me so well. I would highly recommend Derek to anyone. If was a pleasure working with Derek.

Derek was referred to me by a friend and he immediately followed up with a call and meeting to review specifics of the case. He listened intently to my situation, asked probing questions, described what would be expected moving forward, and informed me of realistic potential outcomes. I often had questions about particulars and he always responded very quickly with clear answers, made sure I was comfortable as far as my understanding, and never presented as inconvenienced by my any of questions regardless of how minor they may have been. Ultimately he guided the case to successful resolution and I am grateful to have had such a dedicated advocate who operated with integrity and professionalism throughout the entire process.
