As a Metro-Detroit and Michigan native, attorney Derek Jacques has witnessed the everlastings effects that poor legal representation can have on those dealing with the judicial system. From a young age, he knew that he wanted to pursue a legal career, with hopes of helping those in need. After Graduating from Madonna University with a bachelor’s degree in Business, Mr. Jacques continued his education by attending The University of Toledo College of Law, where he earned his Juris Doctor. During undergrad and law school, he interned at various law firms in order to obtain real life experience in the areas of divorce, custody, and bankruptcy. Throughout this time Mr. Jacques regularly attended hearings with senior staff attorneys, drafted documents, reviewed documents, and participated in the day to day operations of a thriving boutique law firm. These experiences were invaluable and helped to solidify his goal of specializing as a family law and bankruptcy attorney, dealing with divorce, custody, and chapter 7 bankruptcy cases. His recent legal victories in the areas of bankruptcy and family law have been featured on Fox News, Michigan Lawyers weekly, and lead to him being named by Super Lawyers as a Michigan Rising Star for 2020; which less than 5% of Michigan attorneys are awarded. Outside of the office, Mr. Jacques enjoys spending time with his family, friends, and two dogs. Some of his favorite hobbies include outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and going up north.
