Strengths
Derrick is very persuasive in front of judges. He's excellent at leading a team and making sure you have the right juniors and the right strategy.
Derrick is a charming advocate. He makes a silk's purse out of a sow's ear, and is a super tactician. I love the way he weaves together a strategy.
Derrick is an opponent you don't want to see as he's that good. He is strategic, measured and trusted by the court.
