Eddie Fernández was sworn in Jan. 31 as the Orange County Clerk of Courts before a large gathering of judges, attorneys, elected officials, community leaders and Clerk’s Office employees.  Fernández was appointed to the position by the governor, who cited "Eddie's reputation as a problem-solver and respected member of the Orlando community.’’  Prior to public service, Fernández practiced law with Shutts & Bowen, LLP.  He was also elected to the Orange County Bar Association’s Young Lawyers’ Section Board of Directors.

Fernández holds a B.A. and M.B.A. from Rollins College and a J.D. from the University of Florida Law School.  Last year, he was named to "25 Most Influential Hispanics in Central Florida” by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando and Vision Magazine.  Fernández was selected for inclusion as a Rising Star by Florida Super Lawyers and given the 'Book Award' in Legal Research & Writing while in law school.
