Grate Attorney he has helped me to go from monitored visit to more time with my Daughter and No monitored visiting as well as overnight visit and helped to establish a payment plane and the Bigest thing has been that i only had visiting every other weekend and know he helped me to establish Joint Cus...tody with Over Night Visit before the Restraining Order fell off and we our now on our way to establish Full Custody and i am confident that we will be successful because of his professional work ethic and him being a successful Family man i am Blessed to have him as my Family Law Attorney and is Very Highly Recommended by me ......

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.

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...
