Derek Hills practices out of Easton, Maryland and is Of Counsel to the Holland Law Firm. He prides himself on excellent client communication skills and works with the client in a collaborative approach to evaluate all options and achieve the best outcome.
Derek brings to his cases 20 years of work in the construction industry. This unique experience provides him an additional knowledge base and added leverage when he represents homeowners in construction disputes and construction defect lawsuits. Derek is a problem solver who knows from personal experience what it feels like to walk in the shoes of contractors, subcontractors, and homeowners. And because so many construction disputes involve various consumer protection laws, Derek is also on the cutting edge of emerging legal issues such as unfair and deceptive trade practices related to solar panel financing and installation.
In addition to construction litigation, Derek also provides the following services to homeowners: Bid and Scope Revie of architectural plans, Contract Review, representation at Administrative Hearings before the Maryland Home Improvement Commission, and defenses to petitions to establish Mechanics Liens.
As a result of his exposure to consumer protection laws concerning construction matters, Derek also represents consumers in cases involving debt collection, auto fraud and other consumer challenges.
