Overall Experience
The reviewers have shared their personal experiences with Derek Austin, a lawyer who specializes in family court cases. One reviewer, Xuan C., has had a positive experience with Derek, praising his honesty, straight-forwardness, and efficiency. On the other hand, two reviewers, Tania D. and Cung L., have had negative experiences, citing issues with Derek's representation and communication.
Positive Aspects
Xuan C. appreciated Derek's candidness and ability to get things done quickly and efficiently. She also valued the education and guidance provided by Derek and his team, which helped her understand the legal process and make informed decisions.
Negative Aspects
Tania D. and Cung L. have expressed disappointment and frustration with Derek's representation. Tania felt that Derek did not defend her adequately in court, often sending his assistant instead of attending hearings himself. Cung was unhappy with Derek's request for a third DNA test, which he felt was unnecessary and not in the best interest of the child.
Areas for Improvement
Xuan C. suggested that Derek's process server could improve their services, and that the legal team could take more time to explain the legal process and set realistic expectations. She also suggested that the firm could benefit from hiring more minority attorneys who understand the experiences of minority clients.
