He concentrates his practice in auto accidents and other negligence claims. He prides himself on aggressively, ethically litigating and pursuing his clients’ claims. He meets and sits down with nearly all of his clients at the onset of their cases, regardless of the size of the case, and treats each client with the same respect and diligence that he would want from an attorney. He proudly boasts that “You will meet the lawyer you hire.”

Mr. Hernandez is perhaps most well-known and respected for the commitment, tenacity, approachability, and resourcefulness that he brings to bear on behalf of his clients.

Mr. Hernandez also has achieved numerous verdicts, judgments and settlements well above the defendant’s policy limits. In one case he handled, the insurance company paid $1.2 million to his client when the defendant’s policy limits was only $25,000.
