Posted by Serafín Ugalde | August 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Awesome and truly honest Attorney!

My husband and I found our entire lives crumbling around us. My husband was falsely accused by a security guard of a crime that would not only land him in jail but it would force him to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. On top of the fact that he would be deported once in jail. We ...hired a well experienced with 30+years of experience and he practically wanted to force my husband into taking a deal which wasnt really a deal it was sex registry and jail time. When we found Chris he jumped right in with several strategies that no other attorney even wanted to try. He went above and beyond what we ever imagined an attorney would do studying every bit of testimony and recordings. We went all the way to jury trial and the jury found that the prime witness was a flat out liar and the others to have been mistaken on what they actually saw. We were stunned to hear a "NOT GUILTY" and overjoyed our nightmare was over. The trial seemed to be a high profile case since it got the entire court and DAs offices' attention. He did an amazing job!! We could never thank him enough for helping us out. We were blessed to have found such an honest attorney after so many who only care about $ instead of their clients best interest. We've since referred family and friends to him for traffic tickets and family court matters. Thank you soooo much Chris!!! :;)

An AMAZING HONEST CARING Lawyer that gets you the QUALITY results you deserve

I'm very thankful to have had Mr. Christopher Hernandez take on my family case. I was a total wreck with so many questions/concerns and I was scared of the not knowing what was to come, but Mr. Hernandez very quickly and with such patience had the answers that put my mind at ease. And trust me I didn...'t make it easy for him as would any parent dealing with a custody battle, still after all of my craziness of emotions, Mr. Hernandez reassured me and gave hope! He was focused and with such determination on getting me the results that my family deserved! And HE DID as he said he would. I was amazed and grateful to have had such an HONEST lawyer by my side standing with VICTORY!! I recommended him to my brother who was in a similar situation and AGAIN he came threw with AMAZING results!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr. Christopher Hernandez to anyone who needs an HONEST CARING QUALITY Lawyer!! Thank you once again Mr. Hernandez my family is forever grateful to you!!

Very good attorney...

Chris is a smart, tenacious, and caring lawyer. He cares deeply about his clients and works with them in every way possible to resolve their cases. He showed me that he wasn't just in it for the money...he actually sets his clients up on payment plans if they need them. He also goes to his clients' h...omes to meet with them if they can't make it to his office. What lawyer does that??? Chris strikes a good balance between being aggressive and a smart negotiator. Most of all, Chris is from the streets. He lived a tough life and grew up in a tough part of town, so he can empathize with his criminal clients more so than most of the lawyers out there came from privileged backgrounds. Chris is also a man of faith, which informs the way in which he handles his cases. He communicates on his clients' level and never makes you feel dumb or less than him like many other lawyers I've dealt with. Chis gets back right away and doesn't hide behind a secretary or assistant like many other attorneys do. If you call him you'll see what I'm talking about. Anyone who goes with Chris won't be disappointed. I'm very blessed to have met him and can't say enough about what a get person and attorney he is. He did an excellent job assisting my grandmother on an elder abuse case and got her neighbors to stop harassing her. Awesome lawyer...
