Fernanda Cortes, Esq. 

Managing Attorney 

With years of experience at prominent law firms, Fernanda Cortes realized that exceptional representation begins with one simple principle: clients deserve an attorney who is always accessible, genuinely responsive, and fully committed to their success. 

As an immigrant from Brazil who personally navigated the U.S immigration and legal systems, Fernanda combines deep professional knowledge with authentic empathy. She understands the emotional weight of life-changing legal matters and guides each client with patience, clarity, and unwavering dedication. 

Fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, she is uniquely equipped to serve Central Florida’s diverse communities, ensuring that language or cultural differences never stand in the way of powerful advocacy. 

Fernanda is licensed to practice law in Florida and the District of Columbia and is an active member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). She earned her law degree in Brazil in 2002, worked in the legal department of one of the country’s largest financial institutions, then obtained her U.S. law degree. She also holds a Master’s degree in Business Administration.
