This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great Attorney - Highly recommend for any legal matter

I hired Mr. Hernandez to represent me on a Simple Assault case in Middlesex County . Not only did Mr. Hernandez get these false charges dismissed on the first court date but he made himself available 24/7 to answer any questions and to also reassure me he would fight for me . He answered every singl...e one of my calls without hesitation.. Mr. Hernandez fees are very reasonable and worth every cent for the superior legal representation he offers . I highly recommend Mr. Hernandez . I will always appreciate what he did for me .

Sincere and hard-working

A true professional. Will always work for your best interest. There is nothing negative a can say about Mr. Hernandez or his staff. I always felt like I was being treated with the upmost respect.

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.
