BRILLIANT LITIGATOR-COMPASSIONATE HUMAN BEING

I was referred to Lourdes when I was in the middle of a highly complex and contested case. Lourdes is as tough of an advocate as you could ever hope for. She's a caring person who was there for me both in an out of the courtroom to help keep me sane during a very contentious process. Her counsel h...as been invaluable. She is brilliant and a highly skilled litigator. Always very organized, informed, honest and tenacious. Always, the consummate professional, her mere presence elevated the interaction between the parties above the gut wrenching lows that are all too common in family court. She is caring person who will be on 'your side' and always recommend what's best, not just 'on a case'.

Lourdes is the BEST OF THE BEST

After a disastrous first run with another firm, I was referred to Lourdes to help me keep my kids, obtain child support and my home. After 3 years of living through hell, I couldn't trust anyone. Lourdes reassured me throughout the entire process, answered all my questions and directed me step by s...tep on how to handle my difficult situation even when at times it was unbearable. I thank her for her professionalism, her savvy knowledge and most importantly how she protected my best interests by paying attention to all the details. Lourdes never gave up and was very motivated to win my case for me throughout the extensive duration. Lourdes came highly recommended and is one hell of an attorney that I would recommended any day of the week and twice on Sundays!

A credible, responsible and caring attorney

I hired Lourdes after my so called top notch attorney butchered my divorce case. Lourdes showed compassion and was tough for me when I could not fight the fight anymore. She always educated me on my rights and stood up for me and for what's right. I appreciated her support, integrity and responsiven...ess. I would recommend her as a divorce attorney any day!

Best of the BEST - Divorce/Child Support

Lourdes Fernandez is sharp, knowledgeable, hardworking, and truly Top Notch. Always responsive She is up-to-date with current laws and changes, she keeps up with technology, which gives her an edge. She kept me informed of my rights and the actions i was entitled to take. She looked out for MY in...terest, while showing me both sides and options, and was always willing to fight for me if there was something worth fighting for. She made me feel as if I were her ONLY client, unlike other attorneys I've dealt with. Her personal touch is like none other. She also has a great personality, gets to the point; doesn't sugar coat anything. She really helped me correct the mistakes of my previous attorney, and finally stopped the bleeding. Even my ex- gave her props. If you need a GREAT attorney - Look no further!!!

Unprofessional and incompetent

Ms Fernandez was our lawyer in a case to relocate with minor child. I don't believe she has much experience within this field. She misinformed us, held back the progress, lacked any kind of structure, had an unprofessional tone, did not take the time to listen, and finally accused us (her own client...s) of lying to her. We had to replace her two months before the trial.

  • 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.
