Fierce Advocacy Driven
by Compassion

Being accused of a federal crime, state offense, or sex-related charge can turn your life upside down overnight. Many of our clients tell us they feel judged immediately — treated as though they are already guilty. That isolation can be overwhelming.

At Amanda Hernandez Law, we reject that narrative.

We approach every case without judgment. We listen first. We build strategy second. And we fight relentlessly to protect your constitutional rights at every stage of the process.

Trusted by Clients Throughout San Antonio

Facing criminal charges is one of the most stressful experiences a person can endure. We are honored by the trust our clients place in us — and by the feedback they share about their experience.

Amanda did everything she said she was going to do. I got my case dismissed which was the best case scenario and she was able to do so at an affordable rate. She kept me in the loop, and performed exceptionally well compared to other lawyers I know. I'm truly grateful for her services and the level of excellence she provides

D.M.

Amanda did an amazing job working my case from the beginning to the end. She kept me informed on any changes and was very consistent in keeping me updated. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of a solid lawyer. I would give her more than 5 stars if I was allowed to.

E.P.

I’ve had my fair share of lawyers. Mrs. Amanda is great. She did a fine job with my case and got it dismissed. From day one she was very responsive and got back with me in reasonable time. You will not be disappointed. Definitely recommend!

M.B.

I HIGHLY recommend Amanda Hernandez. She went above and beyond to represent me and saved my career. She truly deserves 10 stars. Always prompt with her communication and is by far the best attorney in Texas. Thank you Amanda Hernandez Law!!!
