As a full time neutral since 2011, Ed has focused his practice on mediation and is now available in all our offices statewide. He has over 30 years of combined legal experience. As an attorney, Ed was involved in many mediations, and recognized the benefits that private dispute resolution offered. Years later, while serving on the Riverside and San Bernardino County Court Panels, he discovered his passion for being a mediator. Ed was recognized by the Riverside Superior Court as being one of its top mediators for several years and now serves as a full-time private mediator.. An attorney had this to say about Ed, “My clients and I are highly impressed by Mr. Fernandez’s professionalism, skill and, most importantly, his mannerism. He is straight to the point and has the ability of putting people at ease. He is never pushy but is quite persuasive. He successfully helped us resolve a matter of which we were not very optimistic about at the beginning of the mediation. I will definitely put him on the “toppick” list of my future mediator selection.”. One of Ed’s perspective on mediation is that “the same, ‘cookie cutter’ approach just does not work anymore. Listen to the parties, be patient and build trust and confidence.”

My challenges in business and life have made me a better person and attorney.  I have gained a greater zeal and passion for justice.. I have worked under, and gone against and with some of the best attorneys in the state.  I have represented clients ranging from the homeless to high profile clients, prestigious insurance companies, and multi-million dollar businesses.. I am "AV"Preeminent Rated by Martindale-Hubbell which is the highest rating a lawyer can obtain in both Legal Ability and Ethical Standards.  Martindale-Hubbell has also awared the Client Distinction Awared - highest award for client satistaction.. I think very highly of myself!  I believe in myself!  I am fair, kind, charitable, and empathetic.  I am about forgiveness and understanding. I believe in God, and Biblical principles and family values. I am about forgiveness and healing---life is too short.  I love and care for my fellow man. I try to listen, be understanding and open-minded, and know the value of these traits.  I am passionate about my faith, family, and work.  I believe in humility and trying to live a humble lifestyle.  Yet, I fight hard and am not easily intimided.. I pride myself on being well-prepared, results-oriented, and one who strives for perfection.  I have high standards and expectations of myself and others.. I have done a lot of good in my life and genuinely seek to make a positive difference in the lives of others!  I have a special place in my heart for raising the self-esteem and self-image of others. I have an intense desire and awareness to improve and become more, so I can be more of a person and to be more of a blessing to others! I root for the underdog. I love a great comeback! I love to see the oddsmakers and pundits proven wrong.. I live large, make memories, and strive to leave a lasting legacy of achievement, success, integrity, charity, joy, love, inspiration, encouragement, and service to others!. I direct you to the Awards, client reviews, peer reviews, and references above and throughout this profile.  My peers have awarded me the highest Martindaler-Hubbell rating for Ethical Standards and Legal Capability.  Per Martindale-Hubbell, clients have awarded me the highest rating for cient satisfaction.. AVVO's singular computer-based "analytics," "algorithms," "metrics," and impersonal business model has imposed a "mark/branding" and score that does not use fairness, common sense or reason, and should be discounted as such.  It is flawed in that it is not designed to take into account the the human elements of determination, heart, courage, empathy, creativity, hunger, passion, attitude, temperment, integrity, and decency. It is an unfair judgment the reader should clearly recognize.  AVVO is a computer and doesn't know me personally.. My Background. I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio.  I graduated with Magna Cum Laude from nationally recognized Muskingum University in New Concord, Ohio with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business, Economics and Religion.  I then attended the prestigious Capital University Law School in Columbus, Ohio on an academic scholarship and was on the Dean's List.  Throughout law school I interned at the Franklin County Public Defenders' Office.. I have been an attorney for nearly 20 years and I have been licensed practice in 9 states, including California.  I demonstrated the ambition and grit to take and pass the bar exams in 6 states and waiving into 3 states.  I currently only have an active licensure in California and am inactive in the other states simply due to the administrative non-payment of bar dues.  In addition to California, throughout my tenure I have practiced in the states of Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Ohio, and Minnesota while representing national mortgage loan servicing companies.. I am admitted to practice in all of the Federal District Courts in California, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court.. I have practiced at AV rated firms and with ABOTA certified trial lawyers my entire career.. I have represented major corporations, insurance companies, and businesses, defending personal injury cases, medical malpractice suits, amusement park accidents, slip and falls, product liability, vehicle accidents and other similar cases.. I have successfully represented numerous individuals and/or businesses in personal injury cases, amusement park defense, medical malpractice defense, family, divorce, custody and support cases, probate and estate planning and criminal defense cases.. I am a devoted husband, father and grandfather.  My family is the highest priority to me which makes me extremely sympathetic to my clients who have been injured in an accident and cannot work to provide for their families or the client who has been falsely accused of a crime because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and now are in jail away from their family.  I work hard and passionately to resolve these cases quickly to reunite families and provide them with the best possible outcome.. Similarly, it breaks my heart to see a family torn apart in a divorce and the situation made worse by attorneys encouraging conflict rather than staying focused on resolution.  There are times when you must fight to protect the interest of your client and most importantly the innocent children involved but, staying focused on the solutions and trying to reach a swift resolution has less of a financial impact on a family and generally gets the entire family on the path to healing sooner.. When I am not practicing law, I devote much of my time on weekend getaways with my wife, and making great memories with my family, and my 3 grandchildren.  My family means the world to me and it serves as my purpose, drive and reasons to maintain a high level of performance and standards in the practice of law and in my daily life..

2090 N. Tustin Avenue , Santa Ana , California 92705

Practice Areas: Personal Injury

I am  the daughter of immigrants and became a lawyer because I wanted to help my family and families like mine.. My values are those ingrained by my father – serve others and do it well. So long as you do, life will be good to you. I have a deep sense of purpose and find meaning in the work that I do for my clients. I understand my clients because I see myself and my family in them, I come from a humble background and understand the fears and emotions that may run through the mind of a working class family when they face a legal problem. It is important to me that my clients feel safe and have trust in me and in the fact that I will be their fierce advocate and that they will have a voice through me. I have a passion for helping others and advocating for them because I did it all my life – helping my family navigate legal situations, translating calls and writing letters.. My upbringing gifted me with a kind heart and an ability to empathize. This is important for me because it allows me to better feel and tell my client’s story. But I also have the heart of a lion protecting her cub. When my client is in my office, he or she will feel protected and taken care of but when I am in court or facing off the other side, I am the fiercest advocate for my client.. All of this is what makes me the lawyer you should choose to help you. I treat my clients the way I would want my father or other family member to be treated – with dignity. You are not just a number to me. If I take your case, it is because I believe in it and I believe in you.. I put the time into each case in order to recover maximum value for my client. My professional reputation is that of a fierce advocate yet compassionate person. I am picky with my cases so I can give each client full attention at essential points in the case.. My favorite part of my job is the satisfaction in a client’s face (sometimes they cry, most of the time they give me a big hug) when their case is resolved. But I especially like when my clients (because they are so grateful) bring lunch, flowers or even handmade gifts to my office.. The satisfaction of helping another cannot be measured in monetary     value, it is priceless.
