The Values That Guide the Firm
Clarity
Legal language can be confusing. The firm’s priority is to make estate planning clear and straightforward. You will understand exactly what your documents do and why they are important.
Integrity
Every recommendation is made with your best interests in mind. The firm never tries to sell unnecessary services or complicate simple matters. You will always receive honest advice based on your goals and situation.
Compassion
Estate planning and probate often come at emotional times. You will be treated with respect and understanding from your first call through the completion of your case.
Why Focus on Wills, Trusts, and Probate
Estate law is not just a branch of legal practice — it is a relationship-based field that touches families at some of their most vulnerable moments. By focusing exclusively on wills, trusts, and probate, Hernandez Law LLC provides deeper experience in the issues that matter most to local residents.
Wills and trusts are the foundation of a strong estate plan. They ensure that your property is distributed as you wish and that someone you trust is in charge of making those decisions. Probate, on the other hand, is the court process that follows a death. It can be complicated, time-sensitive, and emotionally draining.
By staying within these areas, the firm provides consistent, detailed support — whether you are planning ahead or dealing with an estate after a loved one’s passing.
A Local Practice with Deep Albuquerque Roots
As a locally owned and operated law firm, Hernandez Law LLC understands the specific needs of New Mexico families. From multigenerational households to new homeowners, each client receives solutions tailored to their unique goals and cultural values.
The firm’s Albuquerque office provides by-appointment consultations to maintain privacy and ensure each client receives unhurried attention. You will not be passed around to assistants or unfamiliar staff members. When you work with this firm, you work directly with Attorney Hernandez.
Serving Albuquerque and surrounding areas, the firm is proud to help neighbors, friends, and community members gain the peace of mind that comes with sound estate planning.
The Client Experience
From the moment you reach out, you will notice a difference in how this firm operates. Everything starts with listening. Before drafting a single document, Attorney Hernandez takes the time to understand your family structure, financial situation, and goals.

For those dealing with probate, the firm provides guidance through every step: filing petitions, notifying heirs, settling debts, and distributing assets. Clients are kept informed throughout the process, with no hidden fees and no surprises.
The firm’s mission is to make estate law accessible, understandable, and manageable.
