Great Criminal Defense Attorney!

Attorney Fisher handled a drunk driving case for me and did a fabulous job. She was prepared, knowledgeable and compassionate. This was a very tense time in my life, and she helped me through it and got me the best result! Highly recommend!

Excellent Lawyer!

I am pleased to write on behalf of Attorney Fisher, as I myself am a (patent) lawyer. I have had a professional relationship with her for more than nine years, both as a colleague and a client. Attorney Fisher and I have worked together on several cases, and I have engaged her as counsel representi...ng me as plaintiff in two civil litigation matters. Ms. Fisher exhibits the highest degree of professionalism and competence, and she is zealous in her representation. Her current practice focuses on criminal matters in which she is highly experienced and very successful. I am pleased to recommend Attorney Fisher as a exceptional lawyer by any measure.

Great Attorney

Ms. Fisher recently represented me in a criminal matter. She worked very hard to get a favorable outcome for my case. She was attentive and explained the process to me every step of the way. I highly recommend her services.

An Attorney that Actually Cares?

I had a unforseen situation arise and I was referred to Gillian Fisher. The first day that I met with her I knew that she was going to be a business associate that I would value for years. She spoke to me in detail and managed to educate me on any proceedings that we had to face so that I felt comf...ortable. Her approach to handling difficult situations is absolutely amazing, and I would reccomend her to anyone that needs an attorney. I always felt that attorneys were overworked and didn't actually care what the outcome of a case was until I met Gillian Fisher. She knew every aspect of the case and what was going to happen. She commuted with me nearly 4 hours roundtrip and was explanatory during the commute so that I was prepared for what was going to happen each day that we were in court. The outcome of the case was far better than I expected due to her knowledge and professionalism.

An Excellent Attorney

I used Attorney Fisher for my house closing in 2008. She was thorough, responsive, and gave me the general impression that my best interests were well protected and were her number one priority. She was always exceedingly patient and took the time to explain the process in layman terms. At the time o...f my closing I was unable to be present so I gave Ms. Fisher Power of Attorney. She was in constant contact with me (as I asked her to be) in order to keep me up to date with the process and instilled confidence that all would proceed in my best interests, in the manner we had discussed. I have recommended her to friends and colleagues and will continue to do so.

"I endorse Attorney Fisher. As a former prosecutor, I can comment that Attorney Fisher was a vigorous, zealous, and successful criminal defense attorney. She was never afraid to take cases to trial and achieved a tremendous amount of success -- obtaining not guilty verdicts, avoiding jail time, and attaining dismissals of charges. Now, as a criminal defense attorney, I am proud to have her as one of my colleagues."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"First as a prosecutor in Middlesex County and now as a defense attorney I have had the pleasure to watch Attorney Fisher practice on a regular basis. She is a fierce advocate on behalf of her clients and works tirelessly to see them through to the best possible outcome. She is never afraid to take a tough case to trial. As an former Assistant DA I had the opportunity to try a case against Attorney Fisher and I was impressed with her command of the facts and law surrounding the case. I was also impressed by her ease in commanding the attention and respect of the jury during her arguments. As a colleague in the defense bar she has always been helpful and quick to share valuable insight and knowledge. I wholeheartedly endorse her work."
