I want to acknowledge attorney Lazaro Fernandez for his professionalism while handling my families matter. Lawsuits and the legal matters can be very uncomfortable and stressful while you are going through the process. Mr. Fernandez made us feel very comfortable and kept us informed about the cas...e every step of the way. His support staff, especially Ms. Morin, is lockstep with Mr. Fernandez. They do not miss a beat. I would be proud to refer family, friends and even strangers to Mr. Fernandez, and I am sure they will be happy with his legal expertise. Case discharged!!!

Will go out of their way to make you comfortable and so helpful.

Lazaro and Shelly are 2 of the nieces and helpful people that I have meet. They made me feel super comfortable and helped me in every way that they could. They always went out of there way to reach out and make sure I did not need any help with anything. Shelly was very nice and welcoming anytime tha...t I went in. Mr. Fernandez always went out of his way to make sure he came out and said hi every time, that I went in even if it was only for a min. They walked me through everything that was going to happen and how the court would go. They always offered offered water every time that I walked in and just made me feel really comfortable and never pressured me to file or anything. I can not recommend anyone better to help you through this time. They helped more then I think they should had but I am so grateful for all the help.

Mr. Fernandez lead us through the case explaining all that we had to comply with and what would happen through the whole process. He made every detail easy to follow.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
