He did an excellent job in helping me with my child custody. He was able to consult and let me know what needed to be done and let me know when and how's every step was completed.
Derek is a down to earth man, he doesn't sit down with you just to speak words you wouldn't understand unless you went to law school. He genuinely cares about his clients and he wants the best for them. I've had lawyers before that clearly just cared for the money but Derek cares about the people involved. The most important thing is that he cares about children above all, he's willing to go that extra mile to make sure your kids end up where they need to be. An amazing lawyer and person overall.
I was very pleased with my divorce services. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. He handled everything on my behalf to where I just had to sign papers once and that was it. I didn't even have to attend court I would highly recommend if your looking for a affordable, quick and effective divorce.
Mr. Mace initially handled my divorce and child custody and did so quickly and smoothly. A year later I hired Mr. Mace to handle a custody modification that was filed against me. Mr. Mace answered all of my questions and was upfront and honest about what to expect. I would highly recommend Derek Mace to anyone who is expecting to deal with family legal issues, his knowledge of the law in these matters is unmatched.
Highly recommend Derek as he is as professional as it gets. I went thru Divorce Child Custody in Hickory courts and he handled them both
I went to mr mace when my child’s father filed contempt of court on me over bs charges he was great throughout the whole process was was straightforward and honest also made sure I got everything I wanted after it was all said and done would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a child custody attorney or divorce attorney!!!
got a whole lot better rate than other lawyers provided as soon as i receive my documents i will be very pleased !!!!
Derek explained how difficult our case would be because we had to convince the judge that we should be part of the case. Then we had to “fight” DSS because they did not want us as a party to the case and their goal would be reunification of the family. Year and a half later, we received guardianship with the blessings and support of DSS. He was both professional and approachable.
We needed help with a family matter. Very thorough from start to finish, very considerate during a difficult time. Highly recommend.
I had a case involving a domestic violence protective order. Derek was professional and handles the case quickly. I would definitely hire him again.
