** Mr. Fernandez had a successful legal career as principle in the Law Firm of David A. Fernandez & Associates, P.C. He worked primarily in Civil Law with an emphasis on Tort and Consumer Litigation.
It was a firm he created in 1992. He built a solid reputation in that litigation field within just a few years. Client representation increased yearly, and by 1994 the firm was handling over 200 clients per year with a high of over 700 in 1999. The firm had up to three attorneys with as many as fifteen support staff.
By 1995, settlement and/or jury awards of tort cases reached a minimum of two million dollars per year. Among the many successes, Mr. Fernandez represented a client whose personal injury case he settled in 1996 for $4.100,000.
Mr. Fernandez sold his law practice in 2002 and decided to live his dream of traveling and learning a second language (Spanish). For 4 years he lived and traveled to (a) Mexico where he studied at the International University at Cuernavaca and volunteered at the local IMSS Hospital, (b) Peru where he was a volunteer English teacher in one of the local grammar schools in Cusco, and (c) Venezuela, Spain, France and England.
** Upon returning to Houston in 2006, Mr. Fernandez created Debt Elimination Specialists, LLC, a debt settlement company specializing in restructuring consumer and commercial debt. [See debtelimination specialists.org]. Due to heavy federal regulation in the industry, the company closed its doors in 2009. Most of the clients transferred to the Law Office of David A. Fernandez which he recreated in 2009.
The Law Office of David A. Fernandez now focuses primarily on collection defense, debt negotiation and business litigation. [See www.yourhoustonconsumerattorney.com].
** Starting prior to his law practice and continuing, Mr. Fernandez has worked on many social and political causes such as the Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign in the early 1980’s and the Bill White for Texas Governor Campaign. In 1986, he managed the “Larry Warner for Texas State Representative Campaign” against a long-term incumbent. He organized teachers and unions in a successful campaign. Mr. Warner was elected to office and went on to represent his district for several terms.
After graduating from law school but prior to establishing his first law office, Mr. Fernandez worked for Texas State Senator Gene Green of Houston, Texas. As legislative aide, he was responsible for managing part of the Senator’s legislation and frequently gave speeches on the Senators behalf.
Eventually his political interests compelled him to run for office; and in 1993, Mr. Fernandez made an unsuccessful bid for Justice of the Peace followed by a very close and disappointing primary loss in a bid for the Texas House of Representatives District 148. In his State Representative race, he was endorsed by The Houston Chronicle, The Houston Post, Harris County Democrats and various civic associations.
Mr. Fernandez was also an adjunct professor at the University of Houston in the early 1990’s where he taught Political Science and Criminal Procedure.
Mr. Fernandez received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 1984 and a Doctorate of Jurisprudence from Texas Southern University in 1989. He was a member of Phi Delta Phi Legal Honors Fraternity.
** Mr. Fernandez is 49 years old, licensed to practice law in the state of Texas, and enjoys going to the gym, cycling, snow skiing, and running.
