About

I am the Founder and Managing Partner of Fernandez Legal Group, P.A.  I was raised in Miami, Florida, where I attended and graduated, with honors, from Florida International University in 1995 with dual Bachelor’s degrees in Political Science and International Relations, and a concentration certificate in Latin American Studies.   After graduation from Florida International University, I attended law school at Nova Southeastern University, where he graduated with honors in 1999. Upon graduation from law school, I was selected, from amongst thousands of applicants nationwide, to serve as an Assistant State Attorney at the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, which is one of the four largest prosecuting offices in the United States.  As a prosecutor, I was responsible for prosecuting various criminal offenses, from Driving Under the Influence to Homicides, and was quickly promoted as Assistant Chief of the Misdemeanor Division, where I performed important administrative functions, as well as supervised and trained incoming prosecutors.My career as a prosecutor was served with the utmost honor and distinction, which allowed me to be selected to be part of the specialized Economic Crimes Unit, where I investigated, charged and prosecuted individuals accused of committing a myriad of financial offenses, ranging from Embezzlement to Racketeering.In 2005, I culminated his stellar career as a public servant and went into private practice. Since then, I have represented countless of individuals and corporations throughout the United States and abroad.  My practice is primarily focused on litigation and trial work. I have tried in excess of 50 jury trials and have successfully represented clients in a wide range of cases in the areas of family law, commercial litigation, criminal defense, and law enforcement, administrative and regulatory investigations. I have also also counseled corporate clients and individuals in a wide range of transactional, administrative and regulatory matters.  I am the proud recipient of an AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell, which is an honor only bestowed upon a select group of lawyers nationwide who have received the highest peer reviews in the areas of legal knowledge, communication and analytical skills, judgment, ethical standards, and overall legal experience.  I have also received the distinct honor of being recognized by the Daily Business Review as one of Florida's Top Rated Lawyers in 2016, and have been selected by the National Trial Lawyers organization as one of Florida's Top 100 criminal defense attorneys for 2017, and have been bestowed the American Institute of Family Lawyers amongst the "10 Best" family law attorneys in Florida.I am fluent in written and conversational Spanish and I am a current or past member of various courts and organizations, including the Florida Bar; the United States District Courts for the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida; the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit; the Association of Federal Defense Attorneys, the Cuban American Bar Association, the American Bar Association, the National Trial Lawyers Organization, the Florida Bar Grievance Committee for the Eleventh Circuit, the Eleventh Circuit Criminal Division Screening Committee, and the Dade County Bar Association.

Ha sido una muy grata experiencia, sobre todo porque compare el nivel de conocimiento y profesionalismo, con respecto a otros (que no vale la pena ser ni mencionados) El Sr Ergio Fernandez se tomo el tiempo de explicarme todos los pros y contras así como indicarme la mejor manera de proceder, no solo quede muy satisfecha sino ademas quede convencida de que todo se haría teniendo en cuenta hasta los mas pequeños detalles, fue muy rápido y satisfactorio, los recomiendo con los ojos cerrados, y si en el futuro necesito de un abogado Ergio I. Fernandez sera siempre mi primera opción.

Ergio Fernandez was overwhelmingly honest about the difficulties, struggles, and “hatred”that my family and I would face if we went to court. However, the above mentioned backlash would be from the court of public opinion. Ergio then explained the complexities of family law and the importance of the best interest of the child in all decisions. This information made us better parents, grandparents, teachers, and friends. We ignored social media, spoke positively about all parties involved, and occupied our time with sports, games, books, and fields trips. Ergio uses his experiences to win cases, but more importantly, he uses his experiences to make his clients better then they were at the start.

Ergio has always worked hard at protecting my interests. Very professional and “up-front”. Would recommend him any day.

I cannot be more gracious and satisfied with the services provided by Fernandez Law Group. The expertise, guidance, and professionalism by far exceeded my expectations. While my case was an exception to most and had to be handled with sensitivity and care, Ergio and his team never wavered. I came to Ergio on a referral; no promises were given. Instead, I was given credible and solid advice and was told "I will make my recommendations, but will always follow your lead." Without fail, this is exactly what was delivered. I'd highly recommend using this firm.

Ergio has a superior professional education and ample background that are the recipie for success in his fields of expertise. He is an honest person that is just by nature and knows how to place himself in his clients shoes. I unarguably recommend Ergio for any family or criminal matter.

Dr. Fernandez is an excellent attorney who has successfully represented me in a paternity suit. His professional demeanor earns him credibility with judges, and his results speak for themselves. He is experienced, personable, thoughtful, and is the kind of person who zealously represents his client; but will remain within appropriate ethical and professional boundaries.

Ergio is an excellent attorney with direct knowledge in a variety of disciplines. During our initial engagement he constantly kept my expectations well managed. I have subsequently hired him for corporate and real estate work, and have been more than pleased with the results. I would highly recommend his services.
