Is Now Disbarred—Stole From Me

Well, this review might be useless, since you actually can't hire Jonathan Fisher as your attorney any longer as of May 21, 2021. He is disbarred. Nonetheless, I am posting it because a) I wonder if there are others who are in similar situations regarding the attorney-client relationship with Fisher ...as I am; and b) there is a possibility that attorneys now representing his prior clients in lawsuits against him for their money back are monitoring this forum and can connect with me to advise me on possible avenues for recourse against him to obtain a judgment. I was charged with reckless driving by speed in Augusta County, Virginia, in April 2020. Due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, hearing/trial dates were continued (postponed) numerous times, which did not seem unusual in light of the circumstances. In February 2021, I received a certified letter via USPS at my home address informing me that Fisher's law license had been suspended by the Virginia State Bar for a period of two months. I had a hearing date that fell within the dates of his suspension. He did not file timely motions with the court in my case to request a continuance, and this tardiness then required that I personally appear in court without legal counsel to explain the situation and request the continuance for a date after his license was reinstated. Throughout this entire period, Fisher was uncommunicative to both emails and text messages. The court date was delayed until June 2021 (about a week from this writing). I emailed Fisher to check in. No response. On a whim I checked the Virginia State Bar site for the status of his license and only then did I learn of his disbarment. I received no notification this time, unlike the temporary, two-month long suspension from earlier this year. If I hadn't thought to check, I would have been stood up in court next week to fend for myself. There are numerous publicly available reports on his disbarment via the American Bar Association (ABA) website as well as local Virginia publications. Fisher collected the entirety of his $2,000 fee from me in 2020. I had an installment agreement with him, and I would receive emails pressuring me to adhere to the payment schedule, which caused stress since I wanted to ensure his representation (given positive reviews here and elsewhere) and did not want to lose his service by nonpayment. I now am left—without legal counsel for a trial scheduled next week; without available funds to secure alternative representation on account of having paid my only available money to Fisher for such representation, and; without adequate time to request a continuance with the court to avoid appearing personally yet again. What Fisher did to me, and at least ten other former clients is fraudulent, plain and simple. I do not know how to initiate an effort, or join any existing one(s), to recover fees rendered for services that were never performed. Please, if you are an attorney involved in this matter, representing some of the others mentioned in the various reports against Fisher, or are able to advise me more generally on what to do for next steps in this kind of situation, I would really appreciate you reaching out to me if you can because I need help on how to proceed. In short, DO NOT HIRE JONATHAN FISHER. The Virginia State Bar has ensured he'll never appear in a Virginia courtroom again. Well, actually, apparently he often failed to appear to hearings for his client, so maybe the Virginia State Bar did not need to act to ensure this conclusion. It seems as though it was his strategy/tactic to not appear, rather than a punishment.

Saved Me From a Reckless Driving Charge!

Hired Mr. Fisher to get me off of a reckless driving charge. I was expecting to just get it down to a normal driving ticket charge, but he was able to get me completely off of the charge. Also kept me well informed and answered any questions I had. Highly recommend!

Worth Every Penny and Professional.

I was charged with a 1st DWI and blew a 0.19 in Montgomery County, VA. Mr. Fisher was the one attorney that made me feel most comfortable during my consult. Looking at his rate, I was concerned with the cost. Mr. Fisher was very flexible with a payment plan and helped me work it out. During the whole... process I faced with many hardships and Mr. Fisher was always available and gave amazing advice. It took 3 months from arrest to trial and Mr. Fisher always helped me and answered all my questions in a timely manner. He was always straight forward and professional when it came to answering questions I had. We attempted to work with the Commonwealth Attorney and he would not budge. They would not remove mandatory jail time, or offer a deal. We went to trial, and Mr. Fisher was professional and had a ton of evidence to back our case. Despite all these hardships Mr. Fisher got the charges completely dismissed and we won our case. The dismissal meant the world to be as I learned my lesson and have been given a second chance. He has a wealth of knowledge that will help when representing you. For anyone who is facing a DWI charge, I highly recommend hiring Mr. Fisher. He will work with you constantly and do the best working on your case and representing you.
