About the firm
HZ Counsel was founded by Billy Hernandez, a practicing Florida attorney, to offer a more direct kind of legal service. When you work with HZ Counsel, you work with Billy — not a rotating team — from the first conversation to the final signature.
The practice is intentionally focused: estate planning, residential real estate, and document review and drafting. That focus means careful work, clear explanations, and transparent expectations at every step.
“Good legal work should leave you with clarity, not more questions.”
How it works
Complete the short consultation form with a general description of what you need. Please do not include confidential details.
We discuss your goals, answer your questions, and outline the options, timeline, and fees before any work begins.
Your documents are prepared, reviewed with you in plain language, and finalized properly so they hold up when it matters.
