Criminal attorney

Danny represented my husband who has a language barrier. Danny and his PA went above and beyond to assist us in his charges. They Were non judgemental and gracious as they walked us through the process. We know they did an excellent job in representing us. There is no one better qualified to repres...ent us here in Tarpon. We are eternally grateful for their service.

Talented and Motivated

Danny is a life long Tampa native and dear friend, who listened and understood my case. Besides his knowledge and experience, he is honest and professional. Bottom line: Danny and his staff, including his assistant Austin Crocker, paid attention to every detail and got my case resolved. His counse...l has made a huge difference in my life, and I am forever grateful. He is a talented and motivated attorney who will fight for you, too!

If your looking for the BEST legal representation in Tampa, it's DANIEL J FERNANDEZ

I had an extremely complicated case, & felt completely hopeless until I walked into Mr. Fernandez office for my 1st consultation. After explaining my situation, Mr. Fernandez & his team instantly put me at ease & assured me everything would be taken care of. I was more than pleased with how patient &... prompt he & his team, in particular AUSTIN, were with answering my numerous questions. I can't even come close to expressing my gratitude for how hard this firm worked to reach our desired outcome. THANK YOU!! Jenn

BEST DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN TOWN !

Mr. Fernandez and his assistant, Austin, are the best there is when everything goes south. I am more than satisfied with the outcome of my case. He managed everything the way he said he would, even when there was new information that came to light, unexpected, he was there and managed it to the T. In... the end things didn't look so bright, but once again Daniel came through with his promises. If there is one thing I am sure of its that I wouldn't be giving him this amazing review here today if it wasn't for his help. (Honestly I'd probably be starring at a grey brick wall right now) God bless him and his staff for everything they have helped me through. HANDS DOWN, BEST LAWYER IN TOWN !!!

Like family

Mr. Fernandez, his partner, and staff have been there for me both in the criminal and civil side multiple times in the past decade. Always with the utmost professionallity and compassion needed at trying personal times. I am very satisfied with the fine work done by this firm, have and will continue ...to recommend them to my family and friends for whatever legal matter that needs competent, thorough representation. I highly recommend Danny! Hopefully I will not have to use them again, on speed dial just in case. Satisfied and “free” customer.
