    I paid close to $50,000 to attorney Christine "Cassie" Hernandez, and I walked away feeling misled…read morefrom start to finish. When I first hired her for a criminal defense matter, she repeatedly described my case as "winnable" and spoke as if dismissal or a trial win was a realistic expectation. Based on that confidence, I kept moving forward and ultimately paid nearly $50,000 in fees. As the case progressed, communication became a problem. Updates were irregular and often lacked substance. When I asked direct questions about discovery, the prosecution's evidence, or potential witnesses, I frequently received vague answers or was brushed off. She also told me more than once that there would be multiple witnesses for both sides and even claimed she had seen some of them at the courthouse. Later, I learned that some of the people she referenced were never on any witness list and weren't actually expected to appear. The biggest shock came on the day trial was supposed to begin. After months of reassuring me we could win, her tone changed abruptly. She suddenly emphasized how strong the prosecution's case was and warned that trial was risky--something she hadn't been upfront about earlier. At that point, she heavily pushed a plea deal. After being told for so long that we were in a strong position, I felt blindsided and pressured into making a life-changing decision at the last minute. Another issue that left me uneasy was that she brought up doing business with my company. She told me she was expanding her office and building an additional space, and she suggested my company would be involved--implying that some of what I was paying in legal fees could effectively circle back through that project. Later, it became clear there was no real plan or active project to hire my company. She also explained the plea in a way that made it sound like I could plead guilty and then immediately pursue an appeal. But after I entered the plea and was incarcerated, she visited me once and then told me an appeal would cost an additional $25,000. That was the first time she ever mentioned the appeal would be separate from what I had already paid. When I told her that the plea-and-appeal approach was her recommendation and asked her to handle the appeal without extra fees, she refused. Bottom line: I paid nearly $50,000, was repeatedly told my case was "winnable," and then felt pushed into a plea deal at the eleventh hour--with additional fees demanded afterward for the next step. I ended up with a criminal record, no refund, and no appeal. Afterward, I looked into her online reviews and was surprised to see other clients reporting similar concerns about communication, transparency, and professionalism. I strongly recommend anyone considering her representation to be extremely cautious, insist on clear written terms about what is included, and do not rely on verbal assurances.

    I retained attorney Christine "Cassie" Hernandez for a criminal defense case and paid nearly…read more$50,000 in fees. Unfortunately, my experience left me feeling like I was sold confidence up front and then abandoned when it mattered most. From the start, she repeatedly described my case as "winnable" and spoke as if dismissal or a trial victory was well within reach. That level of certainty is what convinced me to hire her and continue paying as the case moved forward. As time went on, the communication did not match the stakes. I rarely received clear, proactive updates about discovery, strategy, or what the prosecution's evidence actually looked like. When I asked direct questions, the responses were often vague or dismissive. She also told me multiple times that several witnesses would be appearing for both sides, even claiming she'd seen some of them at the courthouse. Later, I learned that some of these "witnesses" were never on any witness list and were not actually expected to testify. Then, on the morning trial was set to begin, the messaging flipped completely. After months of telling me we could win, she suddenly emphasized that the prosecution's case was strong and that trial was risky. That was the first time she spoke candidly about the seriousness of the situation. At that point, she pushed hard for me to accept a plea deal. Given everything I'd been told before, I felt blindsided, rushed, and pressured into making an irreversible decision. Another aspect of this that didn't sit right with me: she discussed potentially doing business with my company. She talked about expanding her office and building an adjacent space and suggested she would use my company for the work--creating the impression that some of what I paid her might come back through that arrangement. Later, it became clear there was no real project underway and no actual plan to hire my company. What happened after the plea was even worse. She explained the plea as if I could plead guilty and still pursue an appeal right away, as though it was part of the plan. But after I pled guilty and ended up in jail, she visited me once and then told me an appeal would require an additional $25,000. This was never clearly stated earlier, and it certainly wasn't presented as outside the scope of the nearly $50,000 I had already paid. When I objected--because the plea-and-appeal approach was what she urged at the last minute--she refused to proceed without more money. In the end, I'm left with a criminal record, no refund, and no appeal, after paying nearly $50,000. I feel like I was given assurances to keep me paying, then steered into a plea deal at the last second, and then asked for even more money afterward. After this happened, I read more of her online reviews and saw other clients describing similar issues. My advice: be extremely cautious, get everything in writing (especially what's included and what costs extra), and don't rely on verbal promises or confident predictions.
