AMAZING LAW FIRM !!

I am so grateful for Mr. Austin Crocker , who helped us through a very difficult situation. And did his very best to give us an amazing outcome , in our case. I’m so thankful Austin represented us , he was always a professional and dedicated attorney, He also always reassured us that everything will ...be okay. I’m incredibly grateful for the positive attitude and support I received from Austin throughout this experience. His professionalism, patience and dedication approach made a stressful situation much more manageable. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his clients, and made all the difference. Highly recommended!!!

Great Team

I cannot speak highly enough of the law office of Daniel J. Fernandez Law and their services during my time of need. Dana is a hard charger and exceedingly confident in her profession. Austin is a wealth of information, his voice was present in nearly all phone calls made to their firm and I felt I c...ould place my trust in his expertise. Kat/Cat, Iris at the front desk, and the staff in whole are just really great people committed to their profession. I have no hesitancy recommending their services. Thank you all again!

Great person.

For the first time in my life, I encountered a legal challenge unbeknown to me. I was in desperate need of a lawyer to review my situation. I immediately went to the law firm of Fernandez and Hernandez on the advice of a friend. After meeting with Attorney Daniel Fernandez and his team, Mr. Fernandez... review my situation and treated me with fairness and the upmost respect and professionalism after meeting with me for the first time. Attorney Daniel Fernandez advice was meaningful and relentless that I felt comfortable in his setting. I am grateful to this day, that I had an attorney that would listen and fight for his client with wisdom and determination. I will recommend Daniel J. Fernandez and his firm to anyone in need of an attorney with integrity and character to reach out to his firm for legal guidance. Frank Reddick
