Mr. Fernandez took my daughter’s case, which was both extremely serious and very emotional. Gonz helped all of us understand the process and discussed all of the strengths, challenges, and opportunities involved in each step of the process. More importantly, Gonz conveyed a deep compassion for her situation and listened thoroughly to her concerns and questions. He was very easy to contact and was very responsive to questions and requests for communication. I am very pleased to announce that this case had a positive outcome. We felt that this was not just another case for him, but a wrong that he wanted to set straight. I cannot convey enough the deep appreciation I have for his professionalism, compassion, and sensitivity toward this serious situation and toward my daughter. I am deeply grateful and I would strongly recommend Mr. Fernandez to any individual needing legal assistance.

After being ran over by a car in a pedestrian crossing I felt a lack of concern from people in general and I didn't have the will to fight. Gonzalo, never let it go and he made sure that I got compensated. He is very personal and understanding of one's situation and emotions. At the same time, he is objective and honest and would fully disclose the pros and cons of any scenario. It was good to have his support and his legal advice.

My husband and I could not recommend Gonzalo Fernandez enough. We were referred to Gonz for a medical malpractice case, which resulted in the death of our infant son. Over the five years we worked with him and his team, they all were continuously kind, caring and kept us informed of the case status. Because of his tireless work and knowledge, we were able to successfully settle our lawsuit, and finally move forward with our lives. I cannot thank Gonz and his team enough.

Gonzalo Fernandez is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He helped me 10 years ago so I knew exactly who to contact when I had family immigration questions again. I highly recommend Fernandez Law!

My Civil Rights case was represented by Mr. Fernandez in 2011. I don''t know how I found him but I'm glad I did. My rights were violated by a Police detective outside of St. Louis in Uplands Park. This Law firm was able to be supportive during a Federal Conviction, as well as a civil suit that ended up in a 9 million dollar default judgement. We took an additional settlement for a substantial amount that settled fairly quickly. Civil Rights cases are traumatizing, hard to convict and very hard to cope with. Fernandez Law gave me the strength I needed to be able to fight my case with confidence. Not a day went by that I doubted the ability to win my case. Thank you very much!

During a turbulent time in my life, Fernandez Law brought calm and order. Working with Gonzalo Fernandez was a pleasure from start to finish. I was extremely grateful for his never-ending patience and unshakeable commitment. From the start, Gonz was always upfront about the case and the possible outcomes. He kept my expectations in check and grounded in reality. I was always impressed by the considerable knowledge and expertise Mr. Fernandez possessed. My calls and emails were always promptly responded to. I was regularly kept abreast of developments or lack there of. I never felt pressure to settle. I was deeply appreciative of the empathy Gonz demonstrated in regard to my situation. I will definitely recommend Fernandez Law to any friend or family member in need of legal representation.

Mr. Fernandez is a hands-on lawyer with a winning combination of a sharp legal mind and a knack for understanding people. The outcome of the case that he handled for me was well beyond my expectations.

El señor Fernández aceptó defender el caso de mi familiar y mostro una aptitud positiva todo el tiempo , nos mantuvo informados de cómo iba el caso cada día . Su profesionalismo es digno de admirar y reconocer , abogados como el son los que nuestra sociedad necesita y nos hacen sentir orgullosos . Por la forma tan apasionada que defiende el caso nuestra familia siente que lo conocemos de siempre . Gracias Señor Fernández :)

The lawyer Gonzalo Fernandez took my immigration case and everything went perfectly fine. Even though I had some complications, he was able to help me and answered promptly all my questions. He referred me for a divorce case and it was fast, professional and honest. Thus, I do recommend this lawyer because he accompanied me in the whole process and he did everything for my case.

Gonzalo Fernandez handled a car accident case for me that involved a mystery phantom vehicle that nobody was able to locate. The police report listed a witness that they said was against me but when Mr. Fernandez did his investigation she turned around and completely supported our version. He did a great job and got the insurance company from refusing to pay anything to paying out the maximum insurance limits. Would definitely recommend Gonzalo Fernandez to anyone looking for a lawyer.
