Southern California Insurance Defense Lawyers

Orange County Liability Insurance Attorneys

Fernandez & Lauby LLP has grown to be recognized by insurance companies throughout Southern California for our professional, intelligent claims defense representation. Since opening our doors in 1998, we have defended the financial interests of many of the largest insurance companies handling claims throughout the region. Our litigation attorneys are experienced and capable of mediating and negotiating complex property and personal injury claims and have a record of saving our clients many millions of dollars in frivolous and inflated claims for over 25 years.

Our experience has shown that taking time to investigate the facts and coming to the table with a reasonable, affordable approach is generally the best avenue for resolving disputed claims quickly.

Please see our results section to view some of the outstanding outcomes we have provided for our clients.

We will meet with you at one of our offices in Riverside, Irvine, California, or will arrange to meet at your office location.

 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.
