During his tenure at the York DA's Office, RJ handled and tried hundreds of cases allowing him to refine his litigation skills and become an effective trial advocate. RJ transitioned from the District Attorney's Office in the fall of 2017, at which time he joined the Ferro Law Firm and began his career in criminal defense. RJ left the Ferro Law Firm in October of 2025 to join Katherman, Briggs & Greenberg where he now practices plaintiff personal injury cases while continuing to handle criminal defense matters.

Membership is extended through special invitation to those attorneys that meet the organization's very stringent criteria. RJ is an active member of the Pennsylvania and York County Bar Associations.

Excellent customer service
RJ was excellent with everything. RJ had all of the information on my arrest when I had my consultation. After hiring RJ, everything was great. He was available the majority of the time to answer questions whenever I called in. If he was not in the office, he called me back the same day to answer any...
"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."
