Beware

I hired Cynthia Hernandez for my child paternity case, and she was never available. She was never on top of things. I would have to remind her of everything. She got an attitude with me because I told her things needed to be done asap not months later. Wanted a lot more money than when I first was hi...ring her.

Cynthia Hernandez HIghly Reccomended!!!!

I HIred Ms.Cynthina Hernandez for a diffiult long going court process, and she made it easy and fought hard threw the trials and tribulations! She was amazing worked hard and answered, whenever i needed to discuss issues in the case! in the end she was so amazing that she fought hard to get me exactl...y what i wanted in the case and never thought i would achieve! Definetaly a blessing and couldnt have had a better attorney to represent me and my son and to carry us threw to be together again! I wanna thank her and her law firm for the miracles and we are more then greatful!!!! Highly reccomended......

Posted by Sid | April 09, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

She handled everything!

Ms. Hernandez will be my first call always! She’s helped me out of traffic citations and won! She also represented me in an accident where I was hit by another vehicle doing 60 mph. She also handled this case with speed and fight! I was seen by a doctor the same day I called her. The single best thi...ng about Ms. Hernandez is you can tell she cares and that helped me knowing my case was in good and able hands.

Finding the right Attorney

It’s not always easy to know who to turn to when you have a crisis at hand with your children. After my son had gotten into more issues with the law, I hired Ms. Hernandez for my son’s felony case. I was referred to her by someone who was very happy with her services. It’s funny when you start rece...iving all these solicitation letters from attorneys and not knowing which direction to take you can be easily persuaded to go with a random attorney that sent you a postcard. This was a complicated situation that would take more than a postcard or billboard attorney. When I contacted Ms. Hernandez, I had explained to her how worried we were due to the fact that he had prior charges and the state was asking for prison time. Ms. Hernandez was always responsive via phone or email and took the time to ask me and my son about this case. I felt as though she had investigated the case thoroughly and always helped me understand the situation at hand. Ms. Hernandez was able to obtain a wonderful result for my son with no felony convictions. I know that we might not have received the best possible outcome without her counsel. We cannot thank her enough. I would recommend and continue to use Ms. Hernandez for all my legal needs.

"Attorney Hernandez is a talented and compassionate attorney, and I highly recommend her to friends, family, and colleagues. I first met Attorney Hernandez when I was prosecuting cases with the Department of Justice and she was opposing defense counsel. Our interactions were always professional and pleasant. She is a wonderful advocate for her client. After working in government for many years, and after entering back into private practice, Attorney Hernandez and I have worked several cases as co-counsel together. She has a wonderful sense of humor, and achieves excellent results for her clients. She is patient and kind yet steadfast and determined. I highly recommend Attorney Hernandez."

"I endorse this lawyer. About ten years ago, I started as a new attorney and Mrs. Hernandez taught me how to be a good lawyer. She not only excels in legal research but she has an excellent presence in front of a jury. Throughout the years I have seen her get not guilty verdicts in extremely difficult cases and give the best overall representation to her clients. She is professional, ethical, really cares about the best interests of her clients and will work extremely hard for all of her clients. I highly recommend this lawyer."
