As a first time home buyer, I worked with Derrick Fernandes as my closing attorney. I was incredibly fortunate to have him as my representation. We were facing issues with the sellers continuously trying to push purchase and sale, make changes to the agreement, which could have ultimately pushed our closing date and resulted in us having to start all over again. Due to Derricks incredible work ethic, extensive knowledge of the process, and firm negotiation tactics, he was able to ensure that I closed on time and all of my purchase contingencies were either met or exceeded. I would encourage anyone, especially first time home buyers to work with Derrick. I cannot recommend him enough.
