Without insulting this attorney I will state facts. Derek Riley was hired for a move away/custody case. Communication with Mr. Riley was a challenge which made me uncomfortable. We had a trial coming up and I needed to pay an additional $5000 retainer. I made a payment towards that retainer of $3000. Shortly after, I became very concerned for lack of communication and plan for trial. I immediately found an attorney that explained what still needed to be done on my case and then terminated Derek Riley. I asked for the return of my funds. He refused. I filed a fee dispute arbitration and won. He has yet to pay on the judgement and not the State Bar is stepping in to help. I also discovered that nearly 2 1/2 years after serving my ex husband with divorce papers, he failed to file a proof of service. Proceed with caution when hiring any attorney.
