Testimonials

  • "After being arrested and beaten by the police, Mr. Hamlin won my criminal trial, and then got me more than I ever expected in my police brutality lawsuit.  I hoped for maybe ten thousand, but got 6 figures.  Derrick is the man."

    L
  • "I arrived in the United States from the Caribbean to start my residency and moved to into an apartment that looked beautiful in the pictures, but was a actually a nightmare.  The landlord refused to give me my money back even after the place was condemned.  Angry, afraid, alone in this big city, a friend referred me to HamlinLegal.com and I thank God every day.  He won my case, got punitive damages and fought the appeal.  Professional, thorough, dedicated and caring are some of the words that describe the Law Office of Derrick G. Hamlin, PC."
