About

I am an entrepreneur turned attorney that is passionate about business, startups, privacy, tech challenges, social justice and all things law. I bring a wealth of real world business experiences into my law practice - allowing me to have a unique perspective when I help my clients with their legal issues. All new clients get a free initial consultation.I became an attorney to help people resolve their legal issues - and to advocate for those who are victims of companies, the government, or other people. As an entrepreneur (prior to being an attorney) there were several groups of people that took advantage of me and my dreams. I now dedicate a portion of my practice to those that are injured by others, whether deliberate or a "cost of doing business" - I want to fight for you and find justice.

I have just started my journey through this messy divorce, I was referred to him by a close friend. I the greatest thing about him is he's human, he's understanding, punctual, has been there every time I needed to talk to him, from the biggest problem to the smallest of worries. He does what he says he's going to do and there's absloutly no worry on my end. He really is a blessing. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel.

I reached out to Darrek about an issue with the county that I was surprised with due to the fact that they served my last address at a vacant residence that i hadn't lived at for 6 years. Unannounced to me i had missed 4 count dates and had a warrent out for my arrest!!! He acted very quickly and in less than one week we were able to dismiss the warrent and charges. I would definitely recommend Darrek to anyone that needs legal help!!!

Derek is an amazing man! I called him with a very embarrassing serious situation, Derek put me at ease immediately. He took control of the case very quickly and was in contact with me the next day. Any questions I had he had an answer very quickly. He was very caring and treated me with kindness. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a Lawyer! Thanks again Derek!

Derek is a good lawyer. He helped me out of a speeding ticket that would have been very costly.

Derek is a kind and easy going man. He did a great service for me, my family, and career. I could have paid a very high fine and penalty. Derek was on top of my case from day one. I barely had to lift a finger. He spoke on my behalf to the prosecuting attorney in which my was. My case wasn't even near him, but he took care of it. I had no penalty and no court case against me after Mr. Haake made contact with the P.A. He saved my career a huge setback and saved me years off my life. Mr. Haake has a very good understanding of what it means to be a family man and has the most loving family a man could ask for. I would trust him again and highly recommend him to you for any legal trouble you may find yourself unfairly in.

I needed an attorney for my husband's complicated case. Mr. Haake was so helpful throughout the process. Apart from being very knowledgeable, he is a lawyer with empathy and passion as well. He got us a favorable outcome and I am greatly indebted to him for everything he did. I would highly recommend him to everyone.

Derek was fast responsive and very easy to work with. I would recommend him to any one in need of some assistance with traffic tickets for sure. I am not proud of it but I just drive fast and get a lot of speeding tickets that I always get reduced. This has been the best experience I have had in a long time.

Haake Law-firm represented my company through an acquisition. This entailed writing the Asset Purchase Agreement and negotiating terms. He did a incredible job and was professional/timely through the whole process.

First, I wish I would have contacted Derek sooner rather than later. That being said, Derek has provided calm direction in spite of high anxiety, consistent support no matter what or when, and has been a Godsend since the beginning. He's given me food for thought without making me feel inadequate. His professional guidance has been my saving grace and he's been all of that without costing a fortune! I would highly recommend and encourage anyone who is starting a business or is in a business and needs a change. Derek is there for his clients and will be there for you as well. Thank you Derek!!!
