I was referred to John through another law firm who thought John could better handle my case. John has been open honest and compassionate throughout the process. I am so thankful that I have found him, he is all about his clients and their family’s and getting the justice they deserve, I would give him ten stars if I could.

Could not ask for more
I was referred to John because of the unique matter I am involved in. John has listened to my situation, and has spent hours learning about it. We are still discussing the best way forward as he feels it might be best for someone else who has more experience in this field to handle. That speaks volumes of John and demonstrates he wants to do what is right. How refreshing that someone feels that when you do the right thing the money will take of itself. I have a number of serious health issues that have been caused by the defendants reckless and intentional actions and have prayed to find guidance that John has given me so far. My father was an attorney and at his calling hours there were two women, who came to pay their respects about a half hour apart. Their stories were virtually the same. They both stated that they knew we didn’t know who they were but they had to come pay their respects because my father helped them with their issues and helped them get their lives back on track. John has given me that hope with his guidance to date. His honesty, knowledge, and desire to help would benefit anyone and I cannot recommend him enough. Dealing with health issues caused by another party is not only stressful but holding them accountable is necessary and you will be in good hands with John Fisher.

Always willing to help.
Over the years I have had the distinct pleasure of interacting with Mr. Fisher professionally. I have always known Mr. Fisher to be a top notch attorney, as well, a kind, caring and compassionate man and most of all an honorable man. He has always displayed exceptional knowledge and skill as an attorney in and out of the courtroom. He listens and treats all people with respect and dignity and that follows through with his professional relationships with his clients at all times. This also comes from my own personal experience with Mr. Fisher currently. I highly recommend Mr. Fisher to anyone in need of legal assistance in any legal matter. If your situation is not within his area of legal practice he will do his best to steer you in the right direction so that you may get the legal help you require. In short, he will always have your back.

foreign object
John is extremely knowledgeable and precise with the work he does. He is a terrific listener and attends to each question posed. I specifically liked that he was available at off hours to discuss the case as needed. John was easy to work with, even though my case was potentially going to be in a county two hours from his work place he gladly accepted my case. Majority of the conferencing was through the mail and phone, however he was willing to travel if needed. Most of the information discovered through my malpractice case was overwhelming and John was not one to rush me on decisions. I like to think things through, ask more questions, then proceed. John is a patient man and a wealth of information. Mostly I liked his honesty with the possible outcomes, even if it wasn't what I was hoping to hear he was in fact providing accurate information. If I ever need another lawyer I will certainly call Mr. John Fisher.

Motor vehicle accident. Spinal fussion.
John is a very caring individual whose main concern is his clients. John worked on my case for almost 2 years. Not once was I left in the dark. John was very clear that I understood every aspect of my case and what was going on. John's dedication and commitment surpasses all others. I highly recommend him for being an attorney that won't let you down. John's communication and honesty is a valuable asset.

Extremely competent and compassionate
John showed nothing but care and compassion when I reached out to him after my wife's death. Although he was unable to take the case, he is helping me find an appropriate attorney, and he also offered to answer any questions I might have in the future, even if I'm working with someone else. At a very difficult time, John made me feel comfortable talking with him and reviewing the details of this personal tragedy. I only wish he could have taken the case.

Opinions of John Fisher as my lawyer
John always would anticipate our needed next move, and seemed to be ready for any and all things. He would not allow defense to try an stall things, unless we had no choice. I feel that I would have no problem referring someone else to him.

Mr. Fisher explained the process of resolving a medicare lien in an injury case. He answered all of my questions and put me on notice of pitfalls to look out for.

A great Lawyer.
When a patient finds themselves in the unfortunate position of requiring a medical Malpractice Attorney there's no one in New York State that I can recommend higher than John Fisher. Top notch!

A Caring Lawyer
John Fisher helped me more than any other lawyer I consulted following my daughter's death. He filed all necessary court papers in a timely manner, had his medical expert review all the hospital records, and found the hospital had deviated from standards of care. Although he ultimately decided not to take the case, for reasons that have more to do with NY State law than justice, John thoughtfully explained all the issues to me and kept the door open to my engaging another attorney. For all this, he charged me nothing.

"I have had the pleasure of working on trial skills with John Fisher in the workshop setting several times. John possesses amazing trial skills in every aspect, yet he still strives to find a different and perhaps better way to litigate his cases. He is open to change. John is hardworking, passionate and compassionate. He is also willing to help other attorneys with his advice, knowledge and experience, which is a rare quality for a busy attorney. On top of a very busy law practice, John is very a dedicated family man. I would hire John to handle my own case if I were injured. In short, John is an asset to the legal community and the injured and I endorse him 100%."
Unknown Attorney | Feb 24

"I endorse this lawyer."
Personal injury Attorney | Oct 23
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I purchased a copy of The Power of a System, written by John Fisher. It is as if he is standing over your shoulder, advising you on how to set up your office to be successful. The book is very detailed and provides everything you need to build a successful practice. I have been in practice for a long time, and I like to think I am pretty bright, and I have an MBA but I have never been able to implement a good system. After reading his book I realized that I did not know how. This book tells you how."
Medical malpractice Attorney | Aug 12

"I endorse this lawyer."
Medical malpractice Attorney | Aug 12
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"John has the most comprehensive, amazing knowledge of medical literature and issues of any attorney I have ever met. He is extremely dedicated to his clients and painstakingly thorough in the prosecution of his cases. On every occasion I have worked with John on a case, I am always amazed by how thoroughly and completely he explores each and every possible issue and argument brought forward by the defense as well as how thoroughly he prepares his witnesses. Of course, that is probably the major reason of his success. I endorse this lawyer."
Medical malpractice Attorney | Jul 23
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"John Fisher is by far the most honest and diligent lawyer I have ever met in the Medical Malpractice field. Even though a client was not obtained, John still was able to give a client piece of mind for his legal issue. John is truly one of a kind and is highly recommended for any Medical Malpractice claims."
Personal injury Attorney | May 21
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I had the honor and privilege of working with John H. Fisher on several major personal injury cases. I can say without hesitation there is not an attorney who is more dedicated to his clients and his craft. If you or a loved one falls victim to Medical Malpractice you would be doing yourself a disservice by not contacting John and having him review the facts of your case before you speak to any other attorney. His ability to master the legal and medical aspect of a case are remarkable."
Personal injury Attorney | Feb 14
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. A little over a year ago I referred a very difficult personal injury case to John Henry Fisher. The case had a number of potential pitfalls and complications. Mr Fisher, along with his staff, provided nothing short of top notch legal services in conection with the matter. He provided personal service with amazing attention to all the details of the case.The matter was resolved long before one could have reasonably expected resolution and the final settlement was truly magnificent based upon the complex facts. I have been practicing law for about twenty years and have dealt with many different attorneys over that time and I can say without hesitation that Mr. Fisher handled this litigation as the consumate professional. I was priviliged to work with Mr. Fisher on this matter and I can only hope that I can continue to work with him and his firm in the future. Full and total endorsement !!! Andrew M. Cohen, Esq. Garden City, New York"
Personal injury Attorney | Aug 01
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"John is the preeminent attorney when it comes to medical malpractice cases. Recently I had the opportunity to observe John present a case to a jury focus group. I was very impresssed with his command of the facts, use of modern technology and persuasive style. I suspect that insurance companys would much rather settle than go to trial against John."
