Revising an Estate Plan

We pride ourselves on finding legal solutions that directly address our clients' needs. In the normal course of affairs, a well-drafted estate plan will not need to be altered.

• Business formation
• Business dissolution

 A Peer Review of Mr. Edward A. Fernandez's Mediation Services by Filippo Marchino, Esq.:

"What most know is that Mr. Fernandez is a member of the panel for the Redlands Arbitration and Mediation Services, as well as the Inland Valley Justice Center. What most don't know is that Mr. Fernandez spent 5 months resolving a case that nobody (not even the parties) believed could actually be resolved short of a trial on the merits. In a case of complex construction defect, involving complex and detailed matters, Mr. Fernandez skillfully navigated each and every matter, resulting is a win-win situation for both parties, one of which I represented. Can't honestly say how appreciative of his hard work we all are. Hence, it is with no hesitation that I fully endorse Mr. Fernandez!"

A recent client review for Mr. Edward A. Fernandez:

As a principle of ClaimQuest, Inc., a Third Party Administration company, it is my duty to obtain the best legal counsel possible for me clients. It is important to note that my decision on counsel directly reflects on me and my company. My clients and I do not want excuses, we seek cost effective results. Mr Fernandez, his law firm, and associates have a long and proven track record for achieving positive cost effective results many of his peers only talk about.

Mr. Fernandez demonstrates excellent legal skills which are a great asset but it is not the only talent you should seek from your legal council. In addition, he also has a reputation of being a hard, yet fair negotiator which has earned him the respect of his peers and the courts. This blend of rare talents has given Mr. Fernandez the opportunity to obtain the most favorable results while significantly reducing needless time consuming litigation costs in many cases.

In my 30 years of being in this business I have never given my endorsement to any attorneys' before Mr. Fernandez, I can say with confidence that Mr. Fernandez has set the standard for our office and many other associates I do business with.
