TERRIBLE...STAY AWAY. First time I have ever taken the time to write a review.

My accident was on October 22, 2016. The only time I was actually able speak to said attorney was the first time I called his office. I retained him as my attorney and began my treatment. The 6 month statute of limitations fell on Saturday April 22nd. According to his secretary, they would still be a...ble to file my claim because the 6 month statute fell on a weekend and not on a business day. On the following Monday morning, I received a phone call from Norman asking me what my address was and what had happened the day of my accident. When I voiced my frustration with his handling of the case and told him that I would be writing a review warning others, he promptly told me that he would be dropping me as a client and put a lien against my file so that he would be able to reclaim his fees for doing a lot of nothing. How much could he have done if he wasn't even familiar with my case, didn't have my address, and had waited until the last minute to file a claim on my behalf? Then he emailed me threatening to sue me for defamation of his name if I posted a bad review regarding his practice. Wow. Class act. So on behalf of the good people who helped me with my injuries on a contingency basis, I will do whatever I can to make sure that they are compensated for their help. Again, please know that I have never posted any type of review good or bad for any reason, but I feel obligated so that another does not fall into the hands of this foul mouthed poor excuse of an attorney.

We always call our clients before filing a claim or lawsuit to verify their information, especially on a governmental claim where that information must be provided accurately. If you provide them with a wrong address, it can and will adversely affect your case. Often times clients move or change their phone numbers. We always verify information. We always confirm the facts of an accident with our client for the same reason. Sometimes we may ask for the facts of an accident multiple times to ensure we have them correctly. We are not the ones who got into the accident, our clients are. We have had over 1000 clients over 22 plus years. You would be surprised how many times a client will change their story, especially in litigation. It definitely does not help when a client changes their story. We always verify. The guy who wrote this review, does not seem to be playing with a full deck. Rather than going with the program like everyone else, and potentially getting a very large settlement or judgment, he instead threatens us with a bad review simply because we called to verify his contact information and the facts of the case, i.e., for doing our job and verifying his info before submitting a claim on his behalf. How do you think any professional attorney will react to a client using threats like this just because the attorney is trying to do their job? You will get dropped. Obviously you don't threaten the person who is trying to help you, especially if there is nothing wrong whatsoever. A hint for anyone working with an attorney, don't make threats unless there is a genuine dispute. In my case sometimes issues do come up with clients. The vast majority of time a simple phone call or discussion can resolve any issue that comes up. Personal Injury cases can be emotional for the injured party.

Sad,choice ..

I hired mr. Fernandez on a case he took it with no hesitation, He claimed he could get me six figures plus. He said both my knees had to be replaced twice and I would wind up in a wheelchair , two weeks before the deadline date I called his office he said that they are a very professional office and... would file my case in time. About two and a half monthsI went to call his office but first I called the courthouse to see if he filed he never did . He would not return calls again so I reached out to write a review, right away he got back with me stating he was going to put me and my dad in jail , sue us both . I couldn't believe it,he put more energy into verbally attacking me then anytime doing anything on my case at all . and he claimed he called and left a message and wrote a letter dumping me I never received either one . It's very sad to have put my hands into such an attorney that would in the end slam my case and of course he has a habit of claiming I wasn't a client, or it was somebody that was just competitors writing bad things, If you look at some of these reviews, the cases are pretty much the same he's done this to more than one person. I tried in the past to write a review on his site but for some reason it didn't happen, I'm trying again right now I am sickened by the fact that a man would turn around and take a case claiming six figures plus in all this time along with that he had me get a journal book and write everyday the problems I was having just physically walking doing anything with my knees.if you would have done this in the beginning and gave me time to find someone else I would have had money from this, but now I have nothing but heartache stay away from this lawyer he's bad news.

We now know who this person is, and we are going to take legal action against her. We dropped her case well before a lawsuit had to be filed, because she had no evidence, no witnesses, nothing other than her word, contrary to what she promised us. When it became apparent that she had no evidence, and in our opinion no case, we dropped her case, and we notified her in writing and by telephone. She had plenty of time to get another attorney. Apparently she was unable to find another attorney, and so now she resorts to stalking us with false and frivolous reviews. Now, rather than accept the fact that in our opinion she had no case, she comes on here with an utterly false and defamatory review in an attempt to destroy our reputation in the community. We will soon file a lawsuit against this person. It's one thing if an attorney does a bad job for you, it's another thing to flat out lie in order to destroy somebody's business. Frankly I believe this woman has a few screws loose. She sends us a message telling us that she recorded us without our permission, and she knew that it was illegal. Then in another message she states that she was lying about illegally recording us. What type of character interacts with an attorney like this? That should tell you something about this person. We will keep you posted on the lawsuit we are filing against her. If you want to know how we really treat our clients look at the other reviews and we can direct you to references. We are a top law firm and we get good results for our clients. No ethical attorney will make guarantees. Also look at the fact that this is an anonymous review.

Bad Experience for Me

I contacted Mr. Fernandez after an accident at a major retailer; he spoke to me for an hour and sent an "investigator" to have me sign some docs the following day. However, he passed me on to his partner law firm, and things went downhill from there. They were not responsive (even the paralegal) and ...did not investigate the scene. I cc'd Mr. Fernandez on several emails to his partner, no response. Even when I wrote a letter outlining the problems I was having, I did not hear back from Mr. Fernandez or his partner. I would assume that if there was a problem with the case, the injury or the medical, they would have let me know instead of not communicating. Ultimately, I had to terminate the relationship. To clarify a couple of things: The first time I posted this review, Mr. Fernandez posted a rebuttal stating that he never heard of me, and this was probably a fake review posted by one of his competitors. Upon seeing this, I sent yet another email, on 1//24/12, to refresh his memory on me and the case in question. Also, when I refer to a partner law firm, the case ended up being handled by one of the at-counsel attorneys using his firm’s name, instead of being handled by Mr. Fernandez, although he was the person I spoke to and was under the impression that he would be handling the case.

I find this review very interesting. I only have one law firm and not a partner law firm. I have searched my records and do not have any record of a client by this name retaining me or dropping me ever. If a client retains me, they retain me. I have no clue who this person is. I have a very good record of getting results for my clients. This appears to be a sham review to me probably from a competitor.

He represents people in all types of injury cases including motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and injuries with criminal cross overs such as assault and battery. In addition, Norman has a unique niche for clients who have motorcycle injuries. This is a personal and professional passion for him, since he is an avid motorcycle rider himself. That is good to know when I need to refer people with motorcycle injuries to competent counsel. He is top of mind for that unique niche.

"Norm and I attended the same high school (no, not with Fred Flintstone -- it just seems we're that old), and he has long shown an earnest desire to help those who ride motorcycles. I regularly read his motorcycle injury blog, and know his concern. The bikes I ride now are not motorcycles, but I would hire Norm in a heartbeat if I ever got injured, because I know that he knows the law, he is professional, and he would get the best possible result."
