Attorney Fisher is one of the most seasoned litigators in York currently. I have personally witnessed him try multiple cases with precision and success. Not only is he knowledgeable and aggressive in a court room, he is also a man of sincere principals and shows devoted compassion to his clients. Not many attorneys understand the importance of truly hearing out your clients and knowing and advocating for what their specific goals in a case are. Attorney Fisher has demonstrated a keen ability to do this while winning case after case.
