The staff here handled my automobile accident with ease, professionalism and kindness. They made a tough situation much easier for me. The women in the office were extremely polite and helpful! Communication is key to me and they definitely showed that. I pray I’m not in this situation again but if I am I would seek their assistance without hesitation!

I had the pleasure of working with Marcus Fernandez and his incredible team, and I truly cannot thank them enough. From day one, they treated me with compassion, respect, and a genuine commitment to getting the best outcome for my injury case. What stood out most was how they listened to me, advocated for me, and never made me feel like just another client. Throughout the entire process from consultation to settlement I always felt informed and supported. Communication was clear, timely, and professional, and I could tell that they really cared about both my physical and financial well-being. Even though my injury will always be with me, Marcus and his team lifted a huge burden off my shoulders. I’m beyond grateful for their hard work and dedication. If you’re looking for a legal team that will fight for you and treat you with care and honesty, this is the one.

I had the pleasure of working with Marcus Fernandez and Rob Roy from Kinney, Fernandez, & Boire, P.A., and I couldn't be more grateful for their assistance. After being involved in a hit-and-run accident, I was left in a challenging situation both physically and financially. From the very beginning, Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Roy was professional, compassionate, and incredibly reassuring during such a difficult time. His excellent communication skills stood out—he kept me informed every step of the way, explaining the process clearly and making sure I felt supported throughout. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, I not only overcame the hardships caused by the accident but found myself in a much better situation than before. If you're looking for a lawyer who truly cares about their clients and delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend Marcus Fernandez and the entire team at Kinney, Fernandez, & Boire, P.A. They are top-notch professionals who will fight for you and your future!

I had a pleasure of working with Rob Roy and Marcus Fernandez. Both attorneys were incredibly understanding, professional and informative. Mr. Roy did a fantastic job throughout my healing process, explaining everything he was doing as well as checking on my recovery. Mr. Fernandez did phenomenal throughout mediation and negotiation. He was very quick, efficient, well-informed. He settled my auto-accident case and went above and beyond, accomplishing more than expected. Both attorneys were beyond doubt very experienced in their field of work. They made this stressful process easier and took an incredible amount of stress off me. I would recommend Kinney, Fernandez & Boire to everyone going through legal issues. Great job and thank you so much!

This office assisted me in pursuing a case after a car accident and helped answer all of my questions. From start to end of the case (which was completed in 6 months!), I felt like Marcus had my back and truly was there to represent and advocate for me. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in need of legal support.
