Hernandez & Associates

What Hernandez & Associates does

Hernandez & Associates, P.C. is a Denver-based private law firm founded in 2007 that provides criminal defense and immigration legal services, with a stated specialty in "crimmigration" — the intersection of criminal defense and immigration law. The firm serves individuals across Colorado (criminal defense) and nationwide (immigration matters), delivering representation in five core practice areas: Criminal Defense (misdemeanors through federal felonies), DUI Defense, Immigration Law (including adjustment of status, naturalization, removal defense, asylum, DACA, VAWA, U-Visa, and TPS), Post-Conviction Relief, and Civil Rights Law. The team comprises eight attorneys supported by five senior staff, operating from a single headquarters at 1801 York Street in Denver, Colorado, deliberately positioned near Denver County and District Courts, the Van Cise-Simonet Detention Center, and the Lindsey-Flanigan Courthouse.

The firm is structured as a Professional Corporation led by Managing Partner Arnulfo D. Hernández and Shareholder Christine M. Hernández (Director of Immigration), with Jonathan R. Booker serving as Shareholder and Director of Criminal Defense. Attorneys regularly appear in Colorado state and federal courts, before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Executive Office for Immigration Review, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and the 9th and 10th Circuit Courts of Appeals. Bilingual English/Spanish service is a stated operational capability, supported by a parallel Spanish-language website. The practice is differentiated by trial-ready representation — the firm states it regularly takes cases to full trial rather than relying primarily on plea negotiation — and by integrated handling of the immigration consequences of criminal pleas, a capability the firm characterizes as rare in the Denver metro.

The business model is direct-to-consumer professional services. Clients are acquired through the firm's website, phone (303-536-5134), online contact forms, in-person office visits, referrals from peer attorneys and prior clients, community outreach (pro bono clinics at Centro San Juan Diego and Centro Mi Casa), bar association involvement, social media, and a Denver Broncos small business partnership. Engagement begins with a free 30-minute initial consultation; revenue is then generated through traditional hourly billing and flat fees per case, with payments processed via LawPay and all major credit cards accepted. There is no parent company, no external investor, no funding history, and no parent-subsidiary structure reported. Technology infrastructure is limited to a FindLaw/Internet Brands-hosted website and standard payment and social-media tooling, with no proprietary technology products.
