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.

Best lawyer in Leominster.
Karli Fernandez represented me on a violation of probation/ restraining order case. She made a very difficult time much easier. She was both professional and sympathetic.

I was caught OUI at a .26 I fell three times during my FST but Ms. Fernandez went above and beyond to help me win my case. She caught the cop in, like 100 lies and I think he went back to his cruiser and cried! You're the best Ms. Fernandez!

Wish she would call me back, but other than that she’s great
She’s great but not once did she call me back when I needed to speak with her. The last time I was in court concerning my case, I didn’t even get to speak with her. Just a smile and a wave.
