FAQ
Questions About Our Practice
What cases do you handle?
We handle criminal defense (including DUI and domestic violence), child custody and family law, restraining orders, personal injury, landlord-tenant and eviction matters, Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and breach of contract and business disputes.
Can you help with more than one legal issue at once?
Often, yes. Legal problems are frequently connected — a domestic violence charge can affect a custody case, or a financial crisis can lead to both an eviction and a bankruptcy question. We look at the full picture and coordinate a strategy.
Do you handle federal cases?
Yes. Attorney Fernandez is admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, which covers Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. The first consultation is free for every practice area. Call us or submit the form on this page to get started.
