... the testament of a job well done is

AALM: What was the greatest lesson you learned in law school? How do you ap­ ply that to your career today?
Hernandez: Law school teaches you that, at times, there can be more than one right answer and that when presented with an issue, it is imperative to view the issue by examining di erent angles and approaches that may lead to unearthing strategy that advances the position that one advocates. When analyzing a case, a  uid approach is key when cra ing the initial roadmap that de nes case strategy, but as the case pro­ gresses, the roadmap is modi ed to address the foreseeable possibilities and to mitigate, to the extent possible, against those unfore­ seen circumstances.
AALM: What do you  nd particularly rewarding about your practice?
Hernandez: Family law is rewarding because I assist my clients through a tu­ multuous period in their lives and through advocacy, I facilitate their transition to the next chapter of their lives. A er a matter concludes, the testament of a job well done is the client who returns to thank you for your e orts on his or her behalf. Divorce is a physically and emotionally draining process and for a client to acknowledge that they could not have made it through the process without your assistance speaks
volumes in terms of a client’s appreciation of your work and e ort on their behalf.
AALM: What traits do you think make an attorney exceptional? What’s the di er­ ence between a good attorney and an out­ standing one?
Hernandez:  e traits of an exceptional attorney include intellect, the capacity to simplify complex issues, the ability to suc­ cinctly and persuasively relay their posi­ tion, and an unwavering commitment to uphold the highest level of ethics.
AALM: What case most de ned or re­ de ned your practice?
Hernandez: Every case de nes my prac­ tice because each case brings a new dimen­ sion or approach that adds to the depth of my experience and that knowledge carries forward and is applied to my next matter.
AALM: What accomplishment are you most proud of achieving?
Hernandez:  e accomplishment I am most proud of achieving during my legal career was being listed, at the age of 38, in the Florida Super Lawyers Top 50 Women list.
AALM: What do you most hope to ac­ complish in the future? Where do you see yourself in  ve years? In 10?
Hernandez: In  ve to 10 years from now, I may vie for an open judicial seat.
