Miracle Worker

From the beginning, Daniel Fernandez ensured he would be able to take care of the DUI case. Unlike some lawyers, he follows through with his promises. Facing a DUI charge were I was certain I would be convicted was frightening; however Mr. Fernandez was able to reduce the DUI to reckless driving; fur...thermore, the reckless driving charged was sealed. Daniel Fernandez sticks by his clients throughout the entire process. Although he is a busy man, he values his clients!

Justice

I was wrongfully stopped and charged with a DUI. Mr. Fernandez was a loyal and powerful advocate, quickly getting the charge reduced to a more fair and less serious offense. I was extremely pleased with the outcome and highly recommend his services to anyone who is in need of help. Do yourself a f...avor and talk to him before you hire another attorney. The first attorney I talked to advised me to plead guilty!

Not Guilty

Daniel Fernandez took my DUI case to a jury and got a not guilty verdict in twenty minutes. Outstanding trial attorney.
