“This is an incredible team of lawyers. Dennis is brilliant and he will attack every point the defense uses against you and he will make them look silly, his trial skills are better than TV. I would be happy with any of the lawyers separately, any day, any case, but together they are unstoppable. If you are hurt call Dennis Hernandez and his Associates, listen to what they say, believe in their methods and they will take care of your case. If it goes to trial, they will be the best you can find. I know, because they just won my case in a huge way.”

“Dennis Hernandez’s team were great, their whole staff was very helpful and patient with me after I was involved in an accident. They answered all of my questions and closed the case much quicker than I expected. This was my first time needing to hire an attorney, and I’m glad I chose them.”

“My sister was involved in a vehicle accident during the 1st day of her work visit in 2017. While not knowing anyone in Florida and, my sister being a badly hurt, non english speaking foreigner residing in a different country without ability to be present, her case was somewhat lengthy and complex to handle. I believe choosing the law firm of Dennis Hernandez Associates P.A. over others to represent her was the right move.”
Peter T.
“Everyone at Dennis Hernandez has been very helpful. Since this is my first time having to see a lawyer for a car accident, they have been so instrumental in helping me understand the whole process of my case. I would recommend anyone in this situation to come and speak with a lawyer here. Thank you all for everything!”
