The Vanguard Team


Ruben Hernandez

President

Ruben is the owner and president of Vanguard Legal Solutions. With over 20 years of experience working with the legal community, both in San Diego and abroad, one of the main reason Ruben started VLS was to be able to have the ability to provide individualized service to each of his clients based on their specific needs or requirements. His goal is to continue to provide that unique individualized service while also maintaining one-on-one relationships with current and new clients. His goal isn’t to be the largest legal service provider, but definitely be the best! When Ruben isn’t at work, you can find him playing basketball, hiking, or traveling.
