Professional and Responsible

Mrs. Fernandez was extremely helpful in resolving issues about an arrest warrant that took place a few years back between my father and I. She did not judge our situation whatsoever, she instead was very understanding and supportive. Mrs. Fernandez was quick to respond to my emails when I needed her... or had any doubts or question. She is extremely professional. She’s a serious person that takes pride in what she does. She made my father and I feel calm and positive/at ease that our case would be dismissed. Her support and explanation to the judge was precise and clear. We are very grateful to have found someone like Mrs. Fernandez to have helped us with our case!

Actually cared

Wont find anyone better. She listens and cares . Makes you feel like your opinion in ur future matters whereas other lawyers I consulted didn’t seem to actually listen. And guess what , case dismissed.

A fighter you can trust

I hired Katherine when I was facing one of the scariest moments in my life for charges I was wrongfully accused of. From the beginning of the case she listened to me, did not judge me, and made sure I was kept apprised of every aspect of my case. She is tough in the courtroom too! Not afraid to fight... back with DA and it was great to watch. In the end my case was dismissed and I am forever indebted to her.

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.
