Posted by Adam | February 26, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Amazing military friendly counsel!

Ren is an experienced,skilled, and compassionate attorney. He sucessfully represented me in a very complex and lengthy case. Where he worked tireslly to obtain an acquittal in a case that another prominent local criminal attorney told me could not be won. Additionally, as an Army Veteran he was uniqu...ely well equipped to understand, empathize with and advocate for Veterans and Wounded Warriors like me. As I struggled with losing rights I had personally fought to defend. Thanks for all your great work Ren!

Experienced and strong

Rene was available almost immediately to help give me advice, guidance, and legal counsel. My situation could not have turned out better and I recommend anyone in need of employment legal services or counsel to give Rene a chance. He seemed to be very experienced, knowledgeable, and strong; ultimatel...y, my case turned out very positive. Thank you, Rene.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Mr. Hernandez is not afraid to go to trial and knows how to convince the other side to settle cases other attorneys shy away from taking and think are hopeless. He takes all kinds of creative civil rights and employment discrimination cases to build new case law in state and federal court. Mr. Hernandez is also good at criminal work, and is as smooth as a news anchor or television personality in the court room."
