Best Lawyer

Where do I begin. I was referred to Daniel by a friend. I already had a lawyer during my situation but he didn't know what he was doing and I didn't feel 100% comfortable with his work. Once I switch lawyers and got Daniel behind my back he was straight forward and honest about everything with detail...s. So I decided to cruise with him and his team and they saved my life from being sentenced into getting a second chance and also being with my 9 year old daughter and wife. Mr. Fernandez as we all now is well educated from the Bay area and prior experience with so many years of doing this by always winning. He has being doing this for a long time and with his knowledge I'd always recommend him. He is a blessing to my family. Thank you very much for your work.

Outstanding Professional Attorney

Mr. Fernandez was very courteous the first time I meet him for consultation. He explained clearly what is my rights and options. Straight forward about money form the first day! Very sharp, Clear, Professional, Capable and Reachable when you need him any time. He protected me as a woman with a...ll his ability as a professional in a criminal case charges that was fabricated to make me loss custody of my children. His staff works in harmony and very helpful and understanding Mr. Fernandez is an asset and a win when you hire him.

Expungement Phenomenon

This is one of the best criminal attorneys there is. He did a expungement for me in a timely manner. Everytime I called he would answer my questions when he was not at the office he would return my call. I am glad I found this lawyer. He is my attorney for life.

Best Lawyer in Tampa!!!!

There is a saying in regards to legal representation that goes like this. "A good lawyer knows the law, but a great Lawyer knows the judge." This goes for Daniel Fernandez 10 fold. He has been practicing law in Tampa for decades and is well respected throughout the legal community. Him and his team ...handled every detail of my case and always kept me informed of the process. It was the easiest and most comforting component of a very difficult time in my life. So go with the team that gets things done by truly knowing the ins and outs of the bay area's legal system!!!!
