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!

Posted by Richard | May 08, 2015 | Lawsuits & Disputes

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.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
