Immigration & Criminal Defense

Immigration Practice

Mr. Hernández’s immigration cases range from straight forward family based petitions to complex deportation/removal cases before Immigration Judges. He has a vast amount of experience before the Administrative Appeals Unit, the Board of Immigration Appeals and the Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeal. He is very knowledgeable about the inner workings of the government which enables him to provide the best representation for his clients.

He is well respected and highly thought of by his clients and colleagues. He has been an invited speaker for the Orange County Bar Association, Immigration Law Section on waivers of inadmissibility and at the American Immigration Lawyers’ Association monthly meeting on I-601 waivers of inadmissibility as well. He also served as a legal advisor on immigration matters for the Mexican Consulate in Orange County under Consul Luis Miguel Ortiz Haro.

Mr. Hernández is dedicated to immigrant’s rights and to the continued improvement of education in our community. He regularly volunteers at Immigration Fairs for Churches and other organizations providing free consultations to individuals of lower resources. He has also volunteered as an attorney for “34 A Su Lado” television program and is regularly interviewed by Channel 52 and 22 on immigration issues.

Criminal Practice

Mr. Hernández’s knowledge and experience in the area of criminal defense allows for a thorough representation of clients whose past criminal history may be a barrier for either obtaining or maintaining their lawful immigration status in the United States.

As a criminal defense attorney Mr. Hernández ensures that his clients are properly advised of all of the consequences of accepting a plea offer or taking a case to trial. Mr. Hernández spends the necessary time researching and reviewing all of the facts and circumstances in the client’s case before recommending any steps to take. He is mindful that a case should be pushed to trial to ensure that all of the client’s rights are protected and provides vigorous representation.

Mr. Hernández understands criminal proceedings can be very intimidating, from securing a bail bonds man, to being there for a client during investigative interviews by the law enforcement agency to representing the client at the arraignments and pre-trials, Mr. Hernández will take the time to answer all of the client’s questions to help them through a very difficult time in their life.

It is Mr. Hernández’s dedication and commitment that has enabled him to successfully represent individuals for the past 10 years both in the criminal courts and in immigration proceedings.
