Derek Ewin is a great lawyer. I felt very comfortable leaving my case in his hands. He was very professional and able to communicate exceptionally. He went through the process of things very thoroughly and made sure I understood and if there where any concerns or questions he was happy to explain them to me. Very intelligent and knows what he's doing.

I think Derek had a lot to do with the positive outcome of my case! He was very involved from the start! He doesn’t make you feel bad and he really understands!! I will Never use a public defender again! It’s not that they are bad but they just don’t have the time to really work on your case! I highly recommend that you give Derek a call! I’m glad I did!!

Derek was extremely knowledgable, experienced and well connected. From the moment I met with him he was timely and went out of his way to do his absolute best for you. He is an excellent attorney and a very kind person.

I really like Derek as a person. He has good morals and an outstanding work ethic.

I was a client of Derek’s very recently, he was very professional knowledgeable and honest with all questions and with possible outcomes. He helped me out very much and would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs help. Went above and beyond and very happy with his service.

Wow I would highly recommend DEREK ! HE ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS & HE HELPED ME GET MY ARREST SEALED ! Thank you DEREK !!

Derek is very professional and I was comfortable trusting him with my case completely. He walked me through every step and maintained a frequent and punctual communication through email. He is also friendly and humorous which I appreciated a lot. I would most certainly recommend his services to anyone looking for an attorney. Also, I will definitely go to him again if I myself need help. Thanks Derek!

Derek was extremely helpful and even calming through the process!!! Was also very honest and helped me tremendously outside the court system with SR22 assistance as well as ensuring I was being proactive ahead. Would definitely recommend!!! Thank you Derek!!!

Derek is empathetic, knowledgeable and professional. Definitely the right choice. I felt he took an interest in me and my case and helped achieve the best possible outcome.

Out of at least a dozen lawyers around the bay area my girlfriend and I called, Derek was the only one who took the time to actually listen to our case and gave us advice before we hired him as a lawyer, everyone else didn't even want to know anything about our case if we didn't put a deposit or hired them, not only is Derek one of the most if not the most skilled defense attorney we've ever seen, but also he genuinely cares about his clients and is so good at what he does that he noticed when we were nervous or paralyzed with fear standing in a room with a judge and a district attorney that wanted to put you away and knew that even a little joke or reassuring us that everything was going to be fine was exactly what we needed to hear to relax and calm down a bit. Will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.

Derek is a great lawyer who will get what you need done.

AMAZING Lawyer!! Not only is he knowledgeable and is incredible in what he does, he also connects with you. You're not just a paycheck or just another client to him; but a human being. He gets to know you and genuinely wants to know about your life. Your ups and downs, your bright and dark days.. I can't thank him enough for helping me out in such a dark time of my life. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would. I HIGHLY recommend him!! He's the best out there; hands down best lawyer and all-around genuine guy. HIRE HIM and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

The best attorney I could have asked for always on top of everything and will make sure you are doing everything you need to to get threw your case he is very intelligent and knows what he’s doing he always make sure you understand what could happen and what can happen he is very good with the DA and he is very respected in the court room if I ever have any problem Derek would definitely be the one I call he got me out of 3 cases after I didn’t go to outpatient program the multiple times they had given me chances for and he still got 2 of the 3 cases droped plead to one charge and all I have is court probation for 2 years I was very happy to be represented by him it always seemed like he got more respect then most lawyer that we’re there either way he definitely worth sitting down and talking to before you get someone that doesn’t really care about you so they don’t worry about you getting in trouble or not Derek is very understandable and you can tell him anything and it stays confidential and he doesn’t judge on mistakes you’ve made I think he’s the best and would recommend him over any and everyone else

Derek is a very talented attorney adept at his counsel in manifold legal matters. His greatest skill I feel is how he treats his client with respect, wisdom and understanding. He put me at ease with his knowledge and recommendations. My case ended exactly as planned and I could not be more thrilled with the results. Derek has literally been instrumental in turning my life around. I recommend Derek at the highest possible level.

Derek is awesome I highly recommend him and his firm. Thank you again Derek for all your help.

If you want a lawyer that treats your relationship as a partnership pick Derek! I felt well taken care of and would use his services again.

Derek was very helpful through the whole process I would highly recommend him

A very proactive lawyer, he said he would help and he did, also a great human being understands what you are going through and he doesn’t sees you as a number like others in the business.
Thank you for all your help Derek.

I found Derek Ewin to be very caring. His attention to detail and his expertise made us feel that we were in good hands. He shared the process of the system and just how he would and indeed did navigate us through. Derek was there from the BAIL process to the end. He gave us several referrals for the Bail Bond process that we're very professional. This saved me from the 'sharks' that we're calling me every 3 hours-- (even all through the night)-- hounding us while we were so stressed out. Derek was calming. We are so great ful for his help and his excellent communication all the way through. I certainly hope I never need his services again, but I highly recommend him.

Wonderful experience with Derek! If you are looking for an honest, caring, prepared, and experienced lawyer he is right for you. He is truly the best in Contra Costa County. I was blessed to find him!! Save yourself trouble and heartache and Hire Derek!

I found Derek Ewin online and contacted him for an issue with the Contra County Courts. Within a couple of hours I recieved a call from Derek and we discussed the issue concerning a Domestic Violence issue. Just by talking with him I felt totally comfortable that he actually cared about my situation and gave me some valuable insight how we could resolve this matter. I knew that he was the Lawyer I needed to represent me. He explained the costs would be and I can tell you for a fact that he was very fair with the cost. We started that day, I was amazed and very relieved. He stayed in contact and Derek help to resolve the DV issue and resolved it in a very timely manner. Am I happy with his representation? Absolutely and I highly recommend Derek to anyone in search of a competent Attorney who cares about you and your need for representation. My situation was totally resolved and a load lifted off my shoulders. Thank you Derek for all your work on my behalf.

I couldn't be more pleased with Dereks representation and support through an awful and unjust experience I had. I did have a good outcome like he predicted in the end . His expertise and knowledge of the judicial system was comforting of course . Just as important though was his humanity and humilty. After interviewing 6+ attorneys I was becoming disillusioned with attorneys until I spoke to Derek. I can't say enough good things about my experience wih Derek. Excellent professional and an excelent guy all around .
Hopefully my friends and or family never need him, but if they do he's there man.

Very professional, and I was extremely happy with the outcome of my case

If I could give 6 stars, I would.. Derek goes above and beyond to help through unfortunate situations. Would definitely recommend his services!

Best lawyer I could have ever asked for. Very knowledgeable. Constant updates on anything going on with your case, and an all around awesome guy. Don't look anywhere else. The reviews speak for themselves. This man knows what he's doing. If you want the best outcome for your case, Derek is the one to go to. So highly recommended by me and my family. Thank you for everything Derek! Hopefully I won't need you in the future, but if i do, I'm coming right back to you!

Don't like to post a public review but He truly deserves it! The best one you can count on, full of experience and honesty! I promise you won't regret having him on your side 5/5. Thanks for everything.

I would highly recommend Derek if you ever find yourself in need of his services. He was very knowledgeable of the process and helped me receive the best deal possible. Derek was helpful and answered any questions that I had during the whole process. Derek is well worth the money. If I ever find myself in this type of situation again I will not hesitate to contact Derek.

Thank You Derek for all your help and hard work during this ordeal.

Looking for a lawyer to represent you? Look no further. Seriously. Stop surfing the internet and call him immediately. Derek is patient, throughly organized, eased the worries I had, and showed me what steps I needed to take to put myself in a better situation. The quality of service and experience from Derek is outstanding and I highly recommend his services.

I highly recommend Derek Ewin. His experience, professionalism, and familiarity with courtroom procedure and personnel will ensure you the best result possible. And yo add to that, his rate is very affordable. Do yourself a favor and call him !

I don’t think words can truly explain how garetful I am for Mr. Derek Ewin. From day one, he worked on my case so diligently and throughly to make sure we could have the best outcome for ourselves. He knows the courthouse very well to know just how to approach any situation. I said that because we sat in courtroom watching many attorneys trying to pleading for their clients. Meanwhile,Derek came in ready with a plan for not only my case, but two other clients as well. I couldn’t be anymore pleased with the outcome. I am so grateful for all the hard Derek. Meticulous work he has put in to get this resolved. I would “HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ” him( Derek Ewin ) to anyone seeking extraordinary legal representation.
YOU ARE “ THE ONE “ Derek.

Regards, Allen

I don't think I can say enough great things about Derek Ewin.

He did come highly recommended from a friend also in the legal profession and so, for someone without such contacts, hopefully this review will help introduce you, too.

Mr Ewin helped save his client on a difficult case and not only was he ultimately successful, he was extremely familiar with the entire process, shepherding things along with not just expertise, but with very much appreciated patience.

His preparation for the range of possible outcomes each step of the way was tremendously reassuring. This allowed all parties to persevere more readily through what is undeniably a stressful process.

He is simply a good guy. That came across from day one and this isn't to suggest he sugar coated anything. That balance of candor and a calm demeanor was also invaluable.

Mr Ewin was consistently punctual and no matter the task, was always dependable and responsive.

Even his rapport with all colleagues in the court was impressive. Perhaps that's a positive reflection of not just his good-natured personality, but also his positive reputation from his many years with the D.A.'s office.

Again, I don't think I can say enough great things about Derek Ewin.

Derek was professional, upfront and always honest about my legal situation. He diligently worked on my case and kept me abreast of any new information. Highly recommend!

Very detailed, honest, and professional attorney.
I am happy with the service I received from Derek. He explained everything that was going to happen and was always responsive to my questions and concerns. He explained all my options and possible outcomes of my case. He doesn't make promises and tells it like it is. I would highly recommend Derek Ewin. He is a true professional at all times and knows his way around the court system. Thank you!

Derek was honest, kind, prompt, and a master at his craft. He made a difficult situation much easier to deal with. You could tell in the courtroom he was well respected by his peers and I felt safe knowing he was fighting for me. I highly recommend Derek and I only have positive thoughts when I think about how he handled my case. 5 stars for sure! Thanks Derek!

Highly recommended!

Highly recommend Mr Derek Ewin. Everything went smoothly and without trouble. Was easy to contact and never left you waiting. Was very helpful in getting my case taken care of rather than waiting for months for the court system. Definitely recommend him and I'm very thankful for his help.

I recommend Derek Ewin wholeheartedly to anyone who finds himself or herself needing the services of a criminal defense attorney.

If you are reading this review, chances are that you are in a difficult situation, and I empathize with you - I have been there. I am very thankful that I retained Derek for my case.

Derek is a good man, not just a good lawyer. He genuinely cares about his clients. He is well respected by the district attorneys and judges. He was able to negotiate a fair deal on my behalf. Throughout the entire process, he explained what was going on, set my expectations appropriately, and delivered on everything he said he would - there were no surprises.

I hope to never need his services again, but if I did, I would not hesitate to call Derek.

Amazing Attorney, Amazing Man. Hire Him and be at peace.

Derek is the man I can trust.

Mr.Ewin provided me with excellent counsel and direction, in addition he and his staff handled my case with the upmost professionalism obtaining for me a most satisfying solution to my legal difficulties. If I ever return to the state of California I will make it a point to seek him out,shake his hand and say thank you.Perhaps I'll catch a plane specifically for that purpose.l

Derek is an amazing lawyer with a tremendous amount of experience! He helped deal with several cases of different manors I brought to him and always worked with me to make sure we could get the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need as I already have with several friends in the past.
