She's a blessing

I'm deeply indebted to Belkys Fernandez, a remarkable attorney who demonstrated unwavering dedication and expertise in my case. From the outset, she provided clear guidance on the legal process, outlining the potential outcomes and strategies. Her tireless efforts ultimately led to my early release f...rom jail, a testament to her exceptional skills and commitment to her clients. I strongly recommend Ms. Fernandez to anyone seeking outstanding legal representation.

These are the Attorneys you want on your side!

There are hundreds of criminal defense lawyers out there, don’t be fooled by their outer appearance and fancy words. At the end of the day you want someone with a heart and that can put their head on a pillow every night and rest in peace knowing that they have fought with all their knowledge... and experience for YOU. Belkys Fernandez and Maryjane Cooper are two exceptional women, not only do they know what they are doing but they do it with passion. These two amazing women know that NOT everyone that goes through the system is a criminal, people make mistakes. If you know someone who has broken the law for any given reason, do them the favor of their life and refer them to COOPER & FERNANDEZ LAW FIRM, they will forever thank you. THANK YOU BELKYS, MARYJANE & JASON for your outstanding care and support, great job!

Fantastic,

Ms.Fernandez, is Awesome. I was extradited to Florida on a V.O.P. warrant from Washington State in March 2024. I was sentenced in 2010 for Trafficking Oxycodone over 28 grams under 30 kilo grams, I was sentenced to 9 years D.O.C. followed by 5 yrs probation. And I only had 2-1/2 years left on probat...ion when the warrant was issued in '21. However when I got to Osceola county jail in March this year 2024. The State Prosecutor was trying to give me 15 years. But Ms. Fernandez my legal counsel.. told me to just hold off. So we waited 10 Months. Went to court on December 5th 2024 and got fantastic News. Admit guilt of the Violation of Probation, and receive 9 yrs D.O.C credit for time served, w/ 351 days served in the county jail , Revoke&Terminate Probation. Now I'm back home in Washington with my family. With no probation. I'm finally free man. Thank you Ms. Fernandez so much for your help. You Rock Woman.

Truly the best

I don’t even know where to start. Mrs. Belkys is AMAZING! Hands down one of the best!!! She dedicated many long days and sleepless nights searching through previous court cases. And reading the law books to be able to get not only me but both of us through my trial. A couple years back I was charge...d with aggravated assault with deadly weapon. It took over a year and many court hearings, some hard days and a few denials. But together we made every decision carefully on how to proceed and what steps to take to win trial. And with her help and knowledge we WON. I don’t know where I would be today had she not been there for me. She never gave up, even when it didn’t look good, somehow she made it happen. Standing by my side the whole time. If you get appointed Mrs Belkys as your representation, just know your lucky. She has the best at heart for you and will fight till the end for your case. :)
