Attorney Derek Van Gilder of Bastrop, TX; ethical misfit

The state of Texas provided Derek Robert Van Gilder with a law license in 1981 after he graduated from the University of Texas Law School.

The District 8 Grievance Committee found Derek guilty of the following misconduct.

• Engaged in self-dealing re: disabled client’s personal affairs
• Engaged in a conflict of interest

As consequence of his misconduct, the supporters for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Texas Supreme Court punished Derek by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

As we speak (ca. December 2016), Derek practices with the Law Office of Derek R. Van Gilder at 916 Main Street in Bastrop, Texas.
