Christopher Hernandez saved my job!

Although Christopher was booked solid in the middle of an important trial he carved out time to help me even though I live in Wisconsin (I needed help with an old Orange County case). He was fast, efficient, responsive, professional and kind. His fees were so reasonable that his expertise and lega...l work could quite likely command considerably more. I highly recommend the Law Office Of Christopher Hernandez & Associates. With 36,000 followers with professional backgrounds on LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/in/roddyrmann) and having worked with expensive corporate lawyers, I am in a position to offer a review you can take as credible.

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!

COUNDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER ATTORNEY

Chris is hands down the most professional, caring, and articulate lawyer you could ask for. I was looking at 15 years on 5 felonies, ending up get a slap on the wrist. Chris always had my best interest involved knowing me and my family situation. I was truly blessed to have Chris working on my case, ...I do not believe I would have had the outcome I did if anyone else was working on my case.

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...
