Excellent representation - highly recommend!

When I needed a criminal defense attorney for a family member, two civil attorneys I know personally both recommended RJ Fisher. One said RJ is the guy he would call if his own son ever got into trouble. I’m so glad I took their advice! RJ was always respectful and very responsive to our calls and e...mails. And talk about results! He gives Yellow Lab vibes when you meet him but don’t be fooled - in the courtroom he’s all bulldog. The criminal justice system is scary, stressful and time-consuming. If you or a loved one are facing charges, don’t go it alone - hire RJ!

DUI Case

Handled my DUI case professionally and to my satisfaction. Explained everything I needed to do and answered all my questions. He was very easy to work with. I would recommend him to anybody who needs an attorney.

Perfect Balance of Expertise, Directness and Compassion

We were referred to Attorney Fisher and cannot be more pleased with how he guided us through a difficult situation. He is an expert in the area that we needed representation. He is direct in his approach and dealings, which I appreciated, yet displayed compassion throughout for the situation we wer...e in. He made sure that we understood what we were up against, taking all the time needed to allow us to grasp what needed to be done. He quickly responded to emails and texts when we needed his guidance or feedback throughout. His advice allowed us to complete most of the required classes, documentation and assessments before the court case was even held. While I hope never to have to meet with Attorney Fisher again, he will be my first choice if the need arises.

Could not be happier

Rj. Fisher represented me in a dui case that I was looking at some time. He was upfront and honest the whole time very responsive to my needs and concerns and I did everything he asked me to do. The end result was better than I could have imagined due to his hard work knowing what I needed to do and ...what needed to be done. I highly highly recommend him. That being said if anyone is looking for legal counsel that they will feel comfortable that they have your best interest and will work hard for the best possible outcome Rj.fisher is the guy for you. I was so happy to right a review about him because he deserves it and should be recognized for how professional he is and how hard he worked for me.

"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."
