Posted by Alex | May 30, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Reliable and Honest Professional

When I hired Mr. Fernandez as my criminal defense attorney I was obviously in a bad situation. With his experience and knowledge I felt confident having him in my corner fighting for me. He was honest and actually cared on a personal level. In a nutshell...GREAT Lawyer for a VERY Affordable price!

Posted by Tom | November 25, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Reliable, trustworthy, and Effective in Difficult Circumstances

Frank was there to help me in a situation where I lost my temper and I reacted badly. I was arrested and prosecuted within an area where the tolerance for such reactions is harsh. Frank stepped up and took my case with reasonable fees, and never blinked when I had to contact him with questions whic...h were always difficult to answer. He was one within a choice of thousands of Boston attorneys. I'm truly thankful for his ability to move quickly and effectively to tackle the elements of my case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
