Bright, Knowledgeable, Effective and Compassionate - all in one!

Cameron Fernandez is a very bright, professional, knowledgeable and compassionate family law attorney who attentively listens to his clients before creating a thorough, detailed and effective legal strategy to win the case. I hired Cameron's firm right after being poorly represented by an incompeten...t attorney, when my ex-wife filed a post-divorce motion to modify our agreed-upon children's visitation, joint custody and child support. It was a very nasty, complicated and long case, since it involved litigation in two states over a period of four years. Cameron was upfront and transparent about expectations, cost and length of litigation. He successfully represented me one opposing motion after the other, kept me calm through the storm, and prevailed. He was also successful on the offense, preventing another frivolous motion from my ex-wife. I strongly recommend Cameron Fernandez and his firm as they are the most competent, effective and knowledgeable family law team in California's Central Coast.

Cameron is a life saver!

For the past four years I have been in a nasty and very difficult divorce. My case has many different aspects, which would make any normal person’s head spin. I had a previous attorney, who was very nice and I liked as a person, but in my opinion was over his head with my case and failed me in cour...t. When my divorce finalized, it was by no means the end of my troubles. Due to additional ongoing shenanigans by my ex-husband, I was not out of the court system and I started representing myself in an effort to save what little money I had left. Eventually, significant events with my ex-husband kept reoccurring to where I needed true legal representation, but there was no way I was going to use my old attorney. I did some pretty extensive research of attorneys around the county and came across some of Cameron’s reviews. Many of the details people gave describing Cameron’s personality and his handling of their cases really resonated with me, and so I decided to give his office a call. Cameron was very friendly and warm the first time I spoke with him. He recognized the difficulties and challenges my case presented, but he didn’t seem fazed and agreed to take me on. Like his website states, no case is too complex nor too basic for his team, and that’s completely accurate. I won’t get into the details regarding why I filed for divorce, but I will touch on one point that was the crux of my whole case. I’m sharing this in hopes that it helps other people and gives guidance to those who have similar situations as mine. Prior to filing for divorce, my ex-husband was diagnosed by a mental healthcare professional as exhibiting Narcissistic Personality Disorder. At the time I didn’t put too much thought into it. In hindsight I should have put all my effort into learning about narcissism because after filing for divorce, the ramifications have ripped my world apart. If you don’t believe me, just do a simple Google search on divorcing a narcissist and you’ll see what I mean. It was so bad that I had two attorneys tell me on separate occasions this was the worst divorce they had seen. The reason I’m mentioning this is if you suspect your spouse exhibits narcissistic tendencies and you’re contemplating divorce, you absolutely must retain the services of an experienced attorney that has dealt with cases such as mine, recognizes the seriousness of how every detail needs to be handled, and most importantly is not a wallflower in the courtroom. If this sounds like something you may run into if you’re considering divorce, then Cameron is your man! He is very savvy with these kinds of cases, methodical in his strategy, and pretty accurate in his predictions of how the courts will rule based on the evidence presented. He will be upfront and honest with you, but he’s in no way curt or abrasive. Cameron wants to do the best he can for his clients in an efficient and ethical manner, and he delivers. I cannot stress enough how important it is to get a really good attorney prior to entering a divorce you know will be contentious. Then you won’t learn the hard way like I did. Thank you Cameron for everything. You really have been a life saver.

A Family Law Attorney with Integrity and Heart

Cameron Fernandez is truly one-of-a-kind. He defies all of the lawyer jokes implying lawyers don't have a heart. If anyone entered family law for the right reason, it's Cameron. I'm truly grateful for everything he did for my family when addiction took over and threatened to destroy the wonderful ...life we created. Cameron legally protected me and my children while still advocating for my wishes to try and save the marriage and get my husband the help he needed. It was a long road and I felt that Cameron was fair in cost and by far the best lawyer I have ever worked with (sadly I've been divorced before and have used two other local lawyers). I never felt like he tried to overcharge and he and his staff were always transparent and available when I had questions or concerns. His expertise in divorce, child custody and specifically his extensive experience in dealing with addiction were priceless in my case. He is a brilliant negotiator which was instrumental in my situation. I trust him wholeheartedly and would recommend him to anyone in any family law matter. Cameron is the best family law attorney around and I don’t say that lightly! When you have a lot at stake, especially the well-being of your children, you can’t settle for second-best. I’m so glad I chose him and god forbid I ever need to hire a lawyer again, it will be Cameron. (Note: I’m keeping my name confidential due to the honesty of this review but I promise I’m a legitimate client of his and truly grateful.)

So much more than I could have hoped for

Our custody/ family law case has dragged out for almost a DECADE. We were worn and weary. I did a ton of research and had seen Cameron and his associates in action in court. I called their office and was connected with Dallas. From the moment I explained the background of our case and my concerns, I ...was blown away with how attentive he was to what I was telling him. Dallas was engaging and took the time to let me explain without interrupting (a rarety, I know!). The timeline was short for a hearing, but he and their staff worked quickly yet thoroughly to catch up with the case. The day of the hearing, Dallas' calm and confident demeanor was instrumental to our successful outcome. His ability to minimize conflict and bring the focus back to the issue at hand was one of the things I am most grateful for. We are extremely thankful for his approach. You don't see his level of commitment much anymore in family law. He genuinely cares about the people he represents, and it shows. The other staff members were also easy to reach and friendly, making this process much easier to deal with. As someone that has been stuck in this process for years, I am thankful I have finally found a firm and attorney I can trust. To top it all off, financially I havent found another attorney that will go beyond the distance for such a reasonable cost. I can FINALLY rest easier knowing they are here for us if any more issues arise. There is a reason Cameron Fernandez and his associates are the best along the central coast. Dallas, thank you again. To all looking for a firm that you can trust, look no further.

Don't be fooled by his soft spoken demeanor!!

I was initially referred to Cameron by a friend. He knew I was hurting, and needed proper legal representation. He even agreed to pay for my initial consultation. When I first met Cameron, I wasn't sure how I felt about anything. I trusted that my friend would not refer me to anybody but the b...est, so I set an appointment. When I first met with a Cameron, I was rather surprised at how calm, and reassuring he was. It did concern me a small amount that he might get gobbled up by the opposing attorney, who had been around for a longer time than he had. Cameron quickly put me at ease, He thoroughly explained to me exactly what to expect, and what was going to happen. He told me exactly what he needed from me, and what he wanted me to do. Surprisingly, he even gave me tips on how to keep his bill lower. Wow!! Now to the point of my review title. When we arrived to our first court hearing before the judge, I was still a little concerned, Once court proceedings started, I all of a sudden I had a completely different person representing me. Suddenly this soft spoken, kind person turned very aggressive in my defense. I found him to be extremely well prepared, and not intimidated in any way, shape, or form by the opposing counsel. Time and time again he cut the opposing counsel off at the pass. He did not let the opposition slip anything past him. At my age, I have seen many professionals work, and I know how confident a good professional is at what they do. I found Cameron to be extremely professional, and could tell he knew exactly what he was doing. I was utterly shocked at the entirely different demeanor that was presented once we got to court. From that point on, I knew everything was going to be ok. I was right. Later on he even slipped in a little used clause into my final decree, that could save me tens of thousands of dollars. I owe my friend a debt of gratitude for referring me to Cameron, and trust me, I have, and will refer Cameron to my friends, and others that might need his services. Oh, and by the way, I was so satisfied with Cameron's representation that I would not allow my friend to pay for that initial consultation. Thank you Cameron for your aggressive defense, and calming demeanor. Both made one of the worst time of my life, bearable.
