About Karli-Marie
Biography
My practice predominantly focuses on family law and criminal defense and I pride myself on being efficient. Your time and mine are valuable and I like to work a case as thoroughly as possible without wasting excessive time and money.
While many people view their job as just that, a job, my career is a passion, therefore, I teach at a local community college. There, I try to pass on the importance of understanding how and why things are done, hoping to inspire others to make choices that will garner positive results.
Representation with Results! Karli S. Fernandez focuses her practice on efficiency & attentiveness.
Custody cases are often very emotional. Let us help you navigate the court system.

Miracle worker!
My boyfriend was in a harsh OUI trial and she was able to not once but twice get him out of any jail time (which we all thought wasn’t exactly deserved in this case but the court has its own ways). If she did not he would’ve possibly two years in a row been in custody during the entire holiday season...

Best decision I made!
I came to Karlie with a OLD case that I had no idea was even out there. She came in, took control, and made the whole process seamless. When I found out about the charge I was wreak.

She's awesome
Karli took on my case about two years ago, I was brought to court on assault and battery charges. It got dismissed once, and brought back by the person again & she took my case for the second time.
