Client Testimonials

Clay Hernandez and Josh Hamilton are some of the most competent Lawyers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They are dedicated, hard working and honest! They are some of the top Lawyers in the legal community and you couldn't have a better legal team on your side!

Lacee

To say that Josh Hamilton saved my life would be an understatement. Facing an incredibly ugly situation, I shopped around for an attorney for a while until I came across Mr. Hamilton. From day one I knew I had found the representation I needed. Josh fought tooth and nail for me and got me the best outcome, considering the dire straits I was in. His staff is incredibly helpful and friendly and Josh's ability and knowledge of the law is second to none. I could not see myself facing a hell like this again with anyone else at my side. A simple "thank you" will never be enough for all that Josh and the staff of Hernandez and Hamilton did for me.

If you need a criminal defense lawyer then Josh Hamilton is definitely your guy!! Not only is he beyond brilliant.. and amazing at what he does! But he is a very caring and compassionate person. I highly recommend him!! He worked very hard on my case and got it dropped!!

Racquel Vera

The absolute 100% best. I cannot stress how much I appreciate and how grateful i am for Josh and Carol. They took up my brothers case in 2018 and never left him since. Their work is excellent and speaks volume. The complexity of the case will have anybody fearful and doubtful but not them. Right from the start they maintained a positive vibe and their professionalism is exceptional. I am so happy i found them back when me and my sister in law were googling appellate lawyers. If i could hug them now i would. My brother was released two days ago and even though the case is not done i am pretty sure the end results will be a good one. God appointed the right lawyers and they are not in it for the money they truly are genuine in fighting for victory and they know what happened to my brothers were not right and they fought tooth and nail and for that i just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Grateful forever and ever!

King Black

I had a potential federal case come before me in my work environment. I called and they were so willing to work with me on getting into an in person consultation even though I was 2 hours away. We spoke on the phone, and then had a meeting I specifically spoke with Clay. He was knowledgeable and had a defense prepared before I even left the consultation. With everything still being in process, all I can tell you, based on my experience with him, he will fight until the end and he won't give up!

Cynthia Bass

Hernandez & Hamilton are top-notch attorneys. In hindsight I would NOT have considered hiring any other attorney to take care of my legal matters. Hernandez even traveled out of state to represent me over 2000 miles away, in Ohio, IN THE WINTER. :) Thank you for all you have done for me and my family!!!

Kari Turner

The best thing about this law office is their dedication. Josh never stopped working for us, never stopped believing that there would be a great outcome and even when it looked like all hope was lost, he kept working until we got the outcome we were looking for. I would recommend this office to anyone looking for an attorney. If they believe they can help, they will!!

Sarah Tecco

I contacted Mr. Hamilton regarding a case involving my brother. From the moment we spoke on the phone, he made feel like we were in the right hands. We discussed the case, went over the pro´s and con´s reaching a desicion to move fwd with the case. Mr. Hamilton is extremely well prepared and very knowledgagle. My brother got a very long punishment that was not justified and because of his commitment to the case and his great team effort, they got my brother a reduced sentence to time served. Now, thanks to Mr. Hamilton and his team, my brother is able to reunite with his three kids and his brothers. We are for ever thankful for your hard work and commitment. Thank you for believing in whats right! Blessings from our entire family.
