My boyfriend had been arrested for firing his firearm and 1 lesser charge. I was looking looking ferociously for a lawyer, who not only had good ratings and feedback, but one that knew his way around a courtroom and could keep up with what the DA or Judge threw at them. Brian was the PERFECT candidat...e! He is very good at what he does and he will let you know fully what you should expect from him and in court. Not only is he smart and knows that law, but he used to work with the DA's office!! So that gave me all the information I needed when hiring him. He went into court and made the impossible, Possible. Not only did he make the officer look like a babbling, clueless, confused man, but he made the Judge question the cop and his "story" as well... Asking the right questions, answering the right questions and just being very knowledgeable of the law... Mr. Fishman got my boyfriend's case thrown out in literally 15-20 minutes of us seeing the judge. I recommend Mr. Brian Fishman for ANY and EVERYONE going through a criminal matter and need counsel. He's one of the best in Philadelphia and I am so happy that I have found him. He has a lifelong customer and I couldn't be happier with the services he provided for me and my family! THANK YOU MR. FISHMAN!!!!!

I want to make sure that everyone knows just how professional Mr. Brian Fishman is. From the moment we walked in to consult with him to the day we resolve the case in our favor he made us feel like family. With his straightforward tact and sympathetic understanding he was able to ease our "scares" a...nd concerns. I express our sincere gratitude to him for being a "friend" through it all. He displayed honesty, dignity, humility and compassion during this ordeal. And made us understand every step of the case. I would recommend Mr. Fishman and his staff to anyone who needs a good criminal defense lawyer."

I am currently in the process of having criminal background checks performed against me for my current job search. Nearly 13 years ago I had done something incredibly stupid and was very concerned that it may get flagged during these checks. I emailed Brian directly on a Friday afternoon after call...ing his office and learning he was not in that day. To my surprise he emailed me back later that night with very helpful information on how to access the PA PATCH system to obtain an official background check for myself. His reply was very cordial and detail oriented and most of all helpful. This kind of service is so rare these days and I can't thank him enough. I can rest easier now and I would and will gladly recommend him to anyone out there.

Mr. Fishman earned my son the best possible results for his theft charges. We were fighting an uphill battle with multiple charges in two cities. Now my son is in the ARD program with excellent terms and, when completed successfully, can put this personal derailment behind him for good. Mr. Fishma...n is sharp as a tack but talked to us about the complex legal process in terms we could understand. Read through the other five star reviews. I whole heartedly agree with all them, keeping in mind that several were for far worse situations than ours! With respect to Mr. Fishman being smart, responsive, level headed, and thorough, I would add that it always felt like my son's case was the only one on his agenda. You will be heard while he offers hope with know-how and experience. If you're in a bad situation, you can expect dramatically better results without minimal drama getting there.

Brian is a very good lawyer he fought hard for my husband. My husband was charged with attempted murder---while on probation for a gun charge...tough right??! Not for Brian, he got him pre trial house arrest to get him back home to his family. He is very knowledgeable, honest (you can also be brutall...y honest with him), and follow up on email/calls/texts in a timely manner. He always got back to me within a few hours. He does what he says he will do--unlike other lawyers in our past. He kept me informed, copied me on emails/letters/petitions that I was allowed to see. We were denied house arrest one, he tried again. We were denied the detainer lifts , he tried again. He worked really hard and I could tell he did all he could (all the while I still owed him money). Of course we were reminded of our outstanding balance, but he never made it the focus of the case. He always looked tired when I saw him at court---- but that's because he fights hard for his client. Even when we were denied the previous house arrest and detainer attempts, I knew he did HIS job, its ultimately the judges decision. Brian did not quit and got my husband home on housecarrest....which was very tough considering the serious nature of the crime. I would highly recommend him , hopefully we won't need him any longer!! We still have to go to trial in Novem, but I feel confident in the case. If you are facing the criminal justice system.....get Brian!!!!
