Hi, my name is Will Beaudoin and Derek took my case in February of 2024 when no one else would take it. He knew something was there and in the end was hopefully surprised at the size of the claim. Derek has the knowledge and also connections to ensure that his clients receive everything they deserve. He also has a team that helped guide me through the many difficulties of the past two and a half years. Thank you Elsa. I would use Derek again without a second thought. I would go to no one else. Derek also sees past the money and has connected with me and who I am. Being a stoic in an accident claim can be difficult but Derek got me through it. Thank you Derek, Will Beaudoin

While walking, my husband was hit by a car that was exiting a parking lot, sustaining a fractured foot, concussion, skull fracture and vestibular nerve damage. Our young granddaughter witnessed this and called me, saying “ papa got hit by a car and is trapped under the wheel”! We called Derek Wilson after our car insurance refused to cover needed physio. Derek and the amazing staff in his office had physio lined up by the end of the day and then went over and above for us. We resisted any court action ( we’re old) but he obtained a settlement that we still can’t quite believe. We have no other benefits and are now going to be able to have ongoing treatment and the necessary aids to make my husbands life comfortable. Because of the help from Wilson law, our savings will be used as we intended, to help grandchildren with school costs. Derek, Elsa, and Jeanette, you deserve more thanks than I have words for. We have appreciated your empathy, your availability and of course your expertise. We definitely recommend Wilson Law to anyone finding themselves in similar circumstance.

Derek , Elsa & Jeanette are such an amazing & helpful humans. I was in a MVA 2 years ago and I didn’t know where to start, looked up lawyers near me and Derek was the first to show up. When I fully committed to Derek I was in such good hands with Elsa & Jeanette helping me with a lot of things I didn’t know how to do. Derek always puts his patients first no matter what always making sure that I’m in a good hands. I can keep on going with a whole list haha. Amazing people/team. Highly recommended

From day one, Derek and his team were exceptional. Derek was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and walked alongside me through every step of the process. There were many moments when the journey was emotionally and psychologically painful and draining, but the humanity, compassion, and genuine care shown by this team was unlike anything I have experienced from professionals. I truly felt like family. During times of distress dealing with service providers and insurance companies, Jeanette and Elsa were always there always willing to listen, help me ground myself, and refocus when things felt overwhelming. The rehabilitation process after a MVA (accident) is incredibly difficult, and I feel truly blessed to have had the support of the amazing team at Derek Wilson Law Firm. I cannot fully express how satisfied I am with the service I received. The support I felt throughout the entire process was priceless, and I would not hesitate to recommend them. Thanks Derek, Jeanette and Elsa!!
