Extremely open, honest, dependable and kind. Derek has been everything you could hope for in a lawyer. I filed for Bankruptcy in 2019 and he is the best lawyer I have ever had. There was a filing issue with my bankruptcy case and the Durham County Clerk said I would have to come to court on Monday. There was no way for me to make it to court that day and I was extremely distraught. But Derek called down there personally and resolved the matter. Even though I only paid him a flat fee for a simple Bankruptcy, I felt like he treated me like a high paying client. Derek if you are reading this thank you so much, you've single handedly changed my formerly low opinion of lawyers.

Derek Caldwell handled my bankruptcy in February 2005. Although the situation was one of the most stressful I can recall. Mr. Caldwell's professionalism, knowledge and integrity made the process concise and easy to navigate. Now seven years later I still stay in touch with Derek as I thoroughly enjoy our conversations and his insight. Currently I was able to refinance my house 3.25% and this would not have ever been possible without my alliance with Derek Caldwell.

The first thing you should know about Derek is that he works independently. No secretaries or paralegals to deal with. He actually answers his phone and returns emails- the same day.
Derek is a personable and highly competent lawyer. He understands that decent people can fall on hard times, and he is nonjudgmental regarding the circumstances that brought you to him. His rates are better than many of the big corporations in Raleigh. I still carry his card in my purse. If anything were to ever happen that I needed representation in the future, Derek would be the first call I made.
