The Firm
Patil T. Derderian is the founder of Derderian Law, PC.
Prior to opening her own practice, Patil litigated for years as a financial service and global commercial dispute associate at Reed Smith, LLP, a top-ranked “American Law 100” global law firm.
Patil has represented and defended hundreds of clients, including Fortune 500 Companies, commercial entities and financial institutions on the complex matters across the financial services sector. Patil has litigated cases relating to mortgage services, fraudulent transfers, negligence, breach of contract, unfair competition, judgment enforcement, litigation privilege, labor and employment, statutory regulations, Homeowner Bill of Rights violations, credit reporting, and debt collection matters in state, federal and bankruptcy courts.
However, frustrated at her inability to truly making a difference in people’s lives, Patil made a complete shift away from serving the big financial institutions. Her goal shifted to becoming a trusted legal advisor to individuals and families.
Patil now focuses on providing estate planning (life planning) services to families and family businesses, serving employees in employment matters, protecting consumers from financial industries, handling financial litigation matters, and personal injury cases.
