Awesome Laywyer - Great negotiating and research skills

Over a year ago, I had received a 5150 that was put on the California DOJ list. The DOJ came to my house asking for my guns and I had referred them to my attorney. They did not like that. They came back with a search warrant and found 19 rounds of ammunition and charged me with a felony. I was looki...ng at three years in jail. I spent two days in county jail in which Christopher arranged for my bail which I got a great rate by the way. He also started researching everything an I spent two days in county jail in which Christopher arranged for my bail which I got a great rate by the way. He also started researching everything. I could clearly see that research was one of his strings. He took a great time, care and effort to get me the best outcome. He gave me great advice. The bottom line is that he created a strategy which allowed me to get the charges dismissed prior to my arraignment. Getting the charges dismissed prior to the arraignment is much easier then afterwards so he was able for one reason or another to have my arraignment postponed several times. It was never about the money for him it was about the best outcome for my case and my freedom. So going from the possibility of doing three years in prison to A complete dismissal is awesome. I cannot tell you how thankful I am to Chris for what he is done for me.

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...
