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.

Highly recommended Custody battle!
Karli represented me on my custody battle with my son. She always responds in more than a timely manner. I was extremely happy with the outcome of my case. Yesterday I got half custody and want to thank her from the bottom of my heart. Great attorney and person. Highly recommend!
