Unforseen issue resolved by EXPERIENCE

We hired Mr. Daniel J. Fernandez to aid a family member for what we thought would be a simple violation. Through his expertise and experience, he was able to handle the unexpected charges that were brought into this case. This led to a solution that was agreed to by client, us, prosecutor, and judge....

Defense Case

Mr. Fernandez is an excellent attorney. He was hired to represent my family. He is very attentive to his clients and he visits them in jail and accepts their phone calls. Mr. Fernandez is family oriented and understands what families are going thru and tries to make the process easy as possible. He c...ommunicated with our family and kept us informed about the case and best options to proceed with. I recommend Mr. Fernandez.

Excellent, Results-Oriented

Mr. Fernandez has represented my family on some very serious legal defense issues. He has been very professional and knowledgeable in leading us through the legal processes. He guided us and led us to the best options, getting the results that would help my adult child get through the system and onto... a productive life. I am forever grateful to him; his compassion and legal expertise lended confidence to us in a seemingly hopeless situation. His accommodating staff were patient, helpful and ALWAYS took my phone calls. They also kept me advised every step of the way.

  • 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.
