About Andrew Fernandes
Attorney Andrew Fernandes is beginning his work in personal injury law with the Carter Mario Law Firm. He joined the firm as a Litigation Intern in 2022 and has worked with our law firm throughout his pursuit of his JD.
Throughout his studies, Attorney Fernandes gained experience working on cases ranging from personal injury to homicide and federal advocacy on behalf of immigrants who were separated from their children at the U.S. border. As he joins our team of rigorous attorneys, he is excited to apply this experience to the justice of our clients each and every day.
After receiving his BS from St. John’s University where he was published in the St. John’s Legal Apprentice, he earned his JD from Western New England University Law, where he was recognized on the Dean’s List. It is Attorney Fernandes’s fundamental belief that advocating on behalf of hurt individuals is what he was meant to do.
In his free time, he volunteers as a member of the Board of Directors at the Boys & Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley. He also enjoys hiking and playing golf, basketball, and baseball.

We Have a Large War Chest!
When we go to trial, we are battle ready, but taking a case to trial takes more than confidence, experience, and commitment.
