        "Non ducor, duco!", meaning I am not led, I lead. This quote is the definition of who A.J. Hernandez has been as brother and friend and professional from the day I met him. His most impressive quality is the fact that anything can happen he doesn't yield he stays ever persevering. He has the ability to lighten up a room just because of his charm. His dedication and his compassion make him the ideal the asset.  Alberto Ortiz, Esq.
