Above and Beyond

Attorney Fisher not only handled my case with professionalism but he went above and beyond to help my wife and I navigate one of the most difficult times in our life. He was knowledgeable and prompt when we had questions, sometimes he even answered emails during off hours when he knew we were scared ...an anxious about what was happening with our case. He seemed to know the right people at the courthouse and was well respected among his peers. He was also very reasonably priced and did not hide any fees or charge us extra for communication where most lawyers would. We highly recommend Attorney Fisher for any and all criminal proceedings. He is a up and coming lawyer that is worth far more than his fee.

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... of my questions. He was extremely professional and punctual with any meetings or appearances that we needed to make. RJ had great knowledge of the law and all possible outcomes. I received the best deal possible and everything worked out in my favor.

Pleased & Relieved

After a few minutes of chatting with RJ during our free consultation, we knew this was the lawyer for us. His easygoing, nonjudgmental demeanor was comforting as he listened to our situation. After we decided to retain RJ, he assured us of his accessibility throughout this process, evidenced on multi...ple occasions when we contacted him through phone, email, & in person. Any updates received were immediately relayed to us with a detailed explanation. Even after a possible resolution to this case was withdrawn by the police officer who filed the charges, RJ continued to push for this resolution by utilizing his experience on the other side of the law. Sure enough, the officer re-agreed to withdrawing two serious charges & adding a smaller one, appeasing all parties while making sure this case didn’t go further than the preliminary hearing. Considering our situation, we were extremely pleased with the outcome & would recommend RJ to anyone in need of his services.

"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."
