Norman Fernandez is a personal injury attorney - yet such a label, though technically correct, doesn't quite capture Fernandez' image. Much more accurately, Fernandez has combined his passion for motorcycle riding, biker culture and law into a niche where he caters to motorcycle riders as "the Biker Lawyer". And though this may be a comparatively narrow field, Fernandez manages it just about as well as anyone possibly could. One of the methods that Fernandez employs is his brilliant legal blog, "Biker Law Blog", where he combines news stories involving bikers & the law, accident reports, local legislation affecting bikers and even safety tips and occasionally some personal material. The blog still seems like a legal blog, even though Fernandez has heavily personalized it to appeal to a specific reader, and the lawyer's down-to-earth style ensures that the non-biker enthusiast will likely not feel ostracized. In fact, Fernandez' blog has been mentioned by top bloggers such as Robert Ambrogi and Wendy Scott, received a 10/10 rating from the site lawnosh.net and was listed on the ABA Journals' Blawg 100. As an attorney, Fernandez has an equally strong reputation, garnering an "excellent" 8.1 score from Avvo.com, which also lists 5 positive reviews from ex-clients. There was one negative review from a client who claimed they were "ignored" by Fernandez, without giving any further details - though the comment seemed groundless, Fernandez completely overreacted and sounded defensive in his response, decrying all anonymous reviews - but didn't seem to mind all the anonymous positive reviews he was getting. This is a minor point in assessing this lawyer, but maybe shaves a point or two off his professional demeanor. Lastly, it should also be mentioned that this attorney also has experience in other areas, such as family law, and thus while very successful in his niche, Fernandez should be considered an experienced lawyer in matters such as family and civil law. Overall, Norman Fernandez does an outstanding job in presenting himself as a top attorney for bikers and seems to have solid overall credentials as a lawyer.
