Law Office of Miguel C. Fernández III, PA

I had zero past experience when it came to hiring a criminal lawyer. I contacted attorney Miguel Fernandez very last minute and immediately felt comfortable and confident I made the right choice. Him and his paralegal were very patient with me and all my questions every step of the way. I was very satisfied with his work ethic and kind demeanor. He pushed and stayed on top of my case until ultimately getting me the results I wanted. I would highly recommend Attorney Miguel Fernandez to anyone in need of legal help!

I am not sure how to feel about retaining Miguel Fernandez's services as my Private Attorney. I was mostly confident, somewhat unsure, about his services from the time that I hired him to my final court date. Throughout the process, I felt as though he was not taking me as seriously as he should have, probably since I am in my early 20's. However, I feel as though that should have been all the more reason for him to take me more seriously, considering I have various events to look forward to in my life, such as college graduation, searching for a career, and one day starting a family.nI showed up to my final court date, and minutes before going in to face the judge, Attorney Fernandez threatened not to represent me, claiming that my final payment, which was due a month prior, was in arrears. I confidently assured him that the payment had been made by a relative the day before it was due, and that my relative even spoke with him personally that day, which she did. In a moment of dismay, even though I was sure the payment had been made, I offered to stop by his office immediately after court to deposit the money that he insisted had not been paid. He stated that I knew there was nothing he could do for me on that day had he not already been paid in full. At this point, I turned to another relative, who drove me to court that day, because he was also there when the payment was made, and he also confidently assured Attorney Fernandez that the payment was made on time.nMiguel Fernandez proceeded to tell me that he was not going to argue with me. I asked, "What are you going to do when you go back to your office and realize that you have been paid and you chose not to represent me?" At this point he stepped away for a few minutes to call his office. When he returned, he apologized, and said "I am not very happy with my office right now" which did absolutely nothing for me because I could feel my heart beating out of my chest and my mind was racing in panic, wondering how I was going to face the judge alone and what I was going to say.nAttorney Fernandez lost all credibility with me at this point, as did the individuals that occupy his office. I questioned him on whether he was truly looking out for my best interest considering I am a college student and will be looking for a career within the coming years, or if my Driving Under the Influence case had just fell by the wayside over the last month because he thought he hadn't been paid for his services, and therefore didn't adequately service me. I can actually say that I have been experiencing a great sense of regret every day since I entered a plead of "No contest" and gave up my right of being innocent until proven guilty. I honestly feel like he did not have my best interest in mind, and only claimed to have my best interest in mind, and that this was my best option, because he was personally too embarrassed to admit how unprofessionally my case was handled.nBy the time I went in to see the judge I was so flustered that I could hardly focus on the situation at hand, and what was being said, because of the situation that happened minutes before. I could not express, in words, the way that I felt that day. I felt like I was taken advantage of, and like I was lied to. I still feel remorse, and think about it every day that passes. I wish that I had chosen to go a different route, and even wonder if I would've been better off hiring a public defender.

Miguel Fernandez is a highly reputable, trustworthy and experienced criminal attorney. Because I am a Fort Myers real estate attorney who does not handle criminal cases I have referred many clients to Attorney Fernandez over the years. I always have full confidence that their interests will be zealously represented.
