Great Experience

RJ is an excellent attorney. He represented me in a case and the outcome was perfect. RJ is professional and was always available when I had questions. I felt at all times in good hands.

Dog Incident

My wife and I had an issue regarding our puppy and some family drama. After talking with R.J. we knew immediately he was the right attorney for the job. R.J. listened to our story and helped us feel confident that we had a really good argument to beat the charges filed against us. He stayed in con...stant communication and was available to answer questions either by phone or email. On the day of the hearing he was ready to make a deal or present our defense in the courtroom. We had the hearing and R.J. was excellent. A true courtroom professional! He won our case and even saved us additional expenses. I highly recommend R.J. and most definitely would hire him again if necessary. Thanks R.J. !

Great attorney!

RJ was an excellent attorney. He always had plans and back up plans and he always kept me informed. He was extremely communicative! I appreciated that when I had questions, he was quick to get back to me and put my mind at ease. He is honest! He advised me that it was probably not the best idea to g...o to trial, although trial would include another payment to him. I never felt like I was being strung along for payment. Rj is knowledgeable and was able to get one of my charges completely dismissed. My other charge turned out to be a better outcome than I was expecting. I highly recommend using RJ as your attorney!

Highly Recommended

If you happen to find yourself in need of a lawyer, RJ Fisher should be at the very top of your list. He is down-to-earth and easy to talk to. He takes the time to listen to your side and explains what to expect in a manner that is easy to understand. He was always quick to return calls when we had q...uestions throughout the process. Because of RJ, this case had a favorable outcome. He helped us through a very stressful and worrisome time in our lives. We are grateful to have found him and would not hesitate to refer to him to anyone.

PROFESSIONALISM, CLASS AND COMPASSION

Up until this point in my life I had only ever had experiences with court appointed lawyers and representing myself pro se. I consider myself a decently educated man, but i also pride myself on knowing when to get help. After initial contact with Richard (RJ) I knew i was going to be in good hands. N...ot only is he vastly knowledgeable, he is tremendously tactful in his communication and never left me with any amount of uncertainty. My questions were always answered and he was always immediate in reaching out to me regarding updates with my case. I hope i won't need his services in the future, but if something ever came up I know exactly where I will be going. All expectations were surpassed and everything was handled beautifully.

"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."
