About Jeffrey Vidal
Jeffrey Vidal Hernadnez earned his law degree from the University of San Diego School of Law in 1991. He returned to school a few years later and completed an MBA and a Master of Real Estate at the University of Southern California in 1995. Those degrees frame both the legal and transactional strands of his work. They also explain an early interest in the overlap between property, finance and insolvency law.
After completing his education, Hernadnez established a practice centered in California and the Ninth Circuit. He is admitted to practice in the state and maintains credentials to appear before the Ninth Circuit. He also holds a real estate broker license issued by the California Department of Real Estate, which adds a regulatory layer to his professional profile. Those qualifications allow him to advise clients on matters that cut across state litigation, federal appellate work and real estate transactions.
Hernadnez is an active member of several professional associations. He belongs to the American Bankruptcy Institute and the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers. Memberships like these keep him connected to developments in bankruptcy law and consumer insolvency matters. They also reflect an ongoing engagement with colleagues who focus on similar practice areas.
His educational background points to a practice that combines bankruptcy law and real estate. The combination is common in cases where property interests, lending structures and debtor-creditor relationships intersect. In practice he has worked on matters that require an understanding of both the commercial side of real estate and the procedural demands of bankruptcy litigation. He is comfortable dealing with regulatory exams, transactional negotiation and litigation strategy when those issues converge.
Today Hernadnez continues to practice in California and before the Ninth Circuit. He balances work that involves bankruptcy law, consumer insolvency issues and real estate transactions. That mixed practice reflects his academic training and professional credentials, and it shapes the kinds of matters he accepts and the clients he advises.
