Posted by Stacey | May 04, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Very good. He knows his stuff.

I had another lawyer who basically did nothing on my case. When I talked to Mr Fernandez I could tell he knew what he was doing. He got me a cash advance on my case and eventually a big settlement. I highly recommend This law firm.

Posted by Gosia | October 01, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Car Accidents

I had a very bad car accident he got me a great deal of money.

I hired the Fernandez Law firm after I had a car accident. I tried to get the accident handled myself but they just played games. I read one of Fernandez's articles about how the insurance companies play games. I hired him. He got my car fixed and got me a great deal of money. I highly recommend him....

Posted by Marcus | July 12, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Slip and Fall Accident

He took my case when no one else would

I slipped and fell on water at the mall in the food court. I called a lot of attorneys and no one would take the case, too difficult to win they said. I want to Avvo and read attorney Fernandez's reviews and was impressed. I called and we spoke for quite a while. He was very knowledgeable and I was i...mpressed. He sent me to the doctor and I started treatment right away. I ended up having surgery and finally got better. The attorney and his staff were there for any questions I had. I won a large settlement and can't recommend him enough. He is the real deal.

Posted by Sarah | January 22, 2019 | Hired Attorney

The most KNOWLEDGEABLE and CONFIDENT lawyer I ever spoke with!! The One others lawyers go to seek help from !

I was seeking for an attorney and was thinking my case is too complex, how am I going to find a good lawyer? I was honestly desperate because of so many bad experiences with attorneys. If you are in that in that situation, DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER, HERE IS WHY: If you've dealt with clueless, confus...ing and rude lawyers in the past, Norman Gregory Fernandez is the lawyer other lawyers go to in order to get help because let's face it, so many lawyers haven't enough experience or any knowledge. Not only he has all the skills required in a complex case, but for the first time in my life, I found a lawyer who was also sensitive to the pain I was going through and he took a lot of time to explain me some really valuable informations. I'm so happy just to know that there actually some lawyers who are experimented and still humble enough to take cases like mine. THANK YOU NORMAN GREGORY FERNANDEZ A THOUSAND TIMES!!! Now I can have my life back! This lawyer is nothing but a blessing.

Posted by Patricia | April 11, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Highly recommended

Mr. Fernandez will be an asset to anyone who has complex case. I had a previous attorney who did nothing for me. A friend highly recommended Norm. When I called he took the time to explain everything and he was very knowledgeable. In the end my case settled for far more than I expected.
