Client Reviews

I am a 64 yr old tourism & hospitality specialist. Due to Covid-19 my industry ground to an immediate halt. I find myself with a debt load that I will never be able to successfully address.

I contacted Derek about five weeks ago to discuss my options. Right from the get-go Derek clearly explained my options to me - present a Consumer Proposal or file for bankruptcy.

Derek ensured I understood my options and is allowing me enough time to consider which way to go. At all times Derek has been very respectful and I feel he could truly empathize with my particular situation. While it feel awful to be in such a position at 64 years of age, Derek has helped to reduce my stress and anxiety by offering his support to assist me in the short, medium and long-term.

We discussed some short-term measures to address my situation and Derek made a few very constructive suggestions. As it is, I will continue limping along for the next six months at which time Derek and I will again review my specific situation and moving forward options.

At this time I look forward to working with Derek to take whatever specific action is recommended. I have no hesitation in recommending Derek and his firm (Derek L. Chase & Associates) to anyone who is suffering from an inability to service their debt-load and who are seeking accurate, rational and proactive advice on dealing with their financial situation.

Respectfully,

This office was very helpful to me. Would highly recommend them. - 9/28/2020 

I didn’t think there was any hope for me and my debt. I had student loans, credit card debt and I just needed a fresh start. Derek and his team took care of it all and it was a huge relief to go through this process with them. Thanks for everything! My stress level is way less than it used to be and for that I’m very grateful! - 9/23/2020

Derek has been instrumental in helping a number of my clients reorganize their debt obligations and cash flow to get them "out from under" and get moving forward.

I met Derek Chase through my personal insolvency. Already I was feeling low, devastated, embarassed, but upon my first discussion with Derek over the phone, he put my mind at ease and let me know I wasn't alone. That helped a great deal and made me feel like I could finally get ahead despite the past mistakes I made. When I met Derek in person, his demeanor is calm and professional, he offers great advice and listens to his clients so together the best financial plan can be made that works. He went to bat for me against creditors and although my creditors declined, I appreciated the support he gave me through the process. If you're looking for a compassionate, supportive, knowledgeable trustee, Derek is your guy! - 5/19/2020

Like most people it was unnerving to be so upfront about something as personal: my finances. The people at Derek Chase where kind, very adept at explaining the complicated processes, and helped me discover new ways to cut costs/budget my life. As of today I finished the process and I couldn't be happier. 10/10 reccomend. - 5/14/2020
