Extremely Grateful - Chris is the BEST!

Christopher is unlike any other. I can't thank him enough for everything he’s done for me and my family. To start off, the man knows what he’s doing. He’s very straight forward, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely cares. I’ve consulted him on four different cases and he has managed to strategically ...work around every case with diligence and technicality. Everything started off after a bad choice on my part which led me to possibly lose custody of both my kids along with a criminal case. I felt like my life was spiraling out of control and he helped keep it together; With the help of Chris, his team, and the grace of God both my kids are still in my custody. He also managed to help my marriage. On multiple occasions he spoke with us over the phone while things were on edge, including while he was on vacation and has also done prayers with us. On another occasion I landed back in jail and thankfully my mom was able to contact him before my court trial. Without even being retained for my (new) case he joined me for hearing and got me released without bail that same evening. If I could go back in time I’d make different choices but I wouldn’t change hiring Chris to defend me. God bless this man!

No Jail-time on a Burglary Case

Where to begin.. Mr Hernandez has debunked almost every stereotype that’s associated with lawyers (expensive, insensitive to needs/details, punctual), all but one; he wins! I went from a 3-6yr prison threat for burglary to no jail time. Highest praises for this man & his skills. He help me while all ...this Covid was going on and never missed a beat! Thank you to Chris & his team!

Excellent Attorney. Highly recommend.

Christopher was very professIonal. He was upfront and clear with expectations right from the get go. He explained to us in detail what the plan was and what he expected from us to deliver the results we were looking for. I had been charged with a Domestic Violence conviction and he was able to help u...s reach our intended goal of dropping the charge to disturbing the peace. By avoiding this DV charge we were able to protect my future gun rights and avoid unnecessary heartache and hassle. We would absolutely recommend Christopher’s services and are grateful to him for all his assistance on our behalf.

Excellent Attorney

Christopher Hernandez is a very good attorney. I was facing a felony DUI and assault charge and was referred to Chris' Riverside office right away. Chris successfully wobbled down my case to a misdemeanor DUI, with the assault being dismissed. After the fact I was facing troubles start...ing my medical school program with the DUI on my record. I immediately hired Chris to help with the termination of my probation early and expunging my record. In a short time frame, he successfully had my record cleaned and now I can start my schooling with no issues. Chris is very accessible, and worked diligently and quickly on my case. During my court dates, he appeared to have a good history with the judges, getting along very well with them, which most likely helped my case on many levels. Chris and his office staff were always very friendly and all were very hands on and worked diligently with me, treating me as a top priority and continually reaching out to me with advice and reminders along the way. In terms of costs, I would say that Chris' services were justifiably priced. He is very open to working with clients in terms of payment plans that are accessible for just about everyone, while also offering quick and easy forms of payment (i.e. Venmo, Zelle, etc.). While I certainly hope that I won't need Chris' services again, I know that, if necessary, I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He has my highest recommendation.
