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.

Exceptional results
Karli is an exceptional lawyer. She helped me with a domestic violence case. She had it dismissed on the first court date. She really knows what she’s doing. I would highly recommend her. I’ve already recommended her to my family. Thank you Karli for giving me peace of mind in such a short time.
