About Daniel J. Fernandez, P.A.

The first hours after an arrest are often the most important in shaping the outcome of your case. Remain silent beyond providing basic identifying information, and clearly state that you want to speak with an attorney. Do not consent to any searches of your person, vehicle, phone, or home, even if officers suggest cooperation will help you. Do not discuss your case with cellmates, friends, or family members on recorded jail phone lines. Do not post about the arrest on social media. Have a family member contact our Tampa defense lawyers at the earliest opportunity so we can begin working on bond, attend first appearance, and start protecting your rights from the very first stage of the case. Time-sensitive deadlines, including the ten-day window for DHSMV review hearings in DUI cases, begin running from the moment of arrest.

    I will never forget where I was when I received the call from Dana and Austin at the Fernandez Law Group. After 9 months of hell, hearing them say... "It's done. All charges are dropped". Don't waste your money on lackluster representation from an attorney who doesn't specialize in criminal law. From the walk in interview with Austin, to the court dates with Dana... I was informed, I was made t

    Approximately one year ago I reached out to The Law Offices of Daniel J. Fernandez in regard to a very serious legal matter involving one of my children. The case was assigned to Dana Herce-Fulgueira. Over the course of the ensuing year Dana helped our family weather the storm and she produced an outcome that we can and we will live with. Dana demonstrated compassion, concern, skill and expertise.
