Ticket ...was reduced to improper driving. Best case situation achieved.

Most experienced, talented, and available DUI/DWI lawyer the state of Virginia has to offer. 10/10

I am a student at Virginia Tech and during my time there I was charged with a DUI offense as well as a misdemeanor Hit and Run offense. I had never hired a lawyer before, but after some online research, I discovered Mr. Fisher, who was the highest rated in the area and a member of the National Colleg...e of DUI defense, and decided to take him up on his free consultation. I had expected to get rushed out of the room, told I couldn’t afford it, or that my case was not a winnable one. What I found was quite the opposite. Mr. Fisher spent what seemed like all morning explaining how DUI defenses worked, and how they could work for me, and informed me that we could work out details of how I could pay him. I hired him that day. My court case was scheduled for a few months later. During this time, Mr. Fisher was always available by text or phone, and I was always able to meet with him in person by scheduling an appointment with his secretary. My case was very complicated, but this made the entire process a smooth one and significantly reduced the stress of the whole ordeal. It was also during this time that I learned of Mr. Fishers close personal ties to Virginia Tech, and our shared interest of attending Hokie basketball games. The Commonwealth of Virginia was so convinced that I would be convicted easily, since they had multiple witnesses, that the case went to trial (no deal was offered). Mr. Fisher assured me that Montgomery County was a courtroom that he had won hundreds of cases in, and that I had nothing to worry about. We decided to enter a plea of not guilty. Before the trial began, Mr. Fisher negotiated a deal with the prosecution to completely drop the misdemeanor hit and run charge and the property damage. The prosecution was only going to try us on the DUI charge. Mr. Fisher had already accomplished half of what we had set out to do. It became apparent as the trial started that Mr. Fisher was respected by the prosecution and the judge, both of whom he was familiar and had worked with in the past. The first witness called by the prosecution was the police officer who had written the police report, and he testified that when the police questioned me, I was slurring my words, stumbling, and strongly smelled of alcohol. Mr. Fisher, who seemed to have more of a grasp of the police report than the officer that wrote it, asked the officer why the report only mentioned that I had smelled of alcohol, but had not mentioned that I was slurring my words or stumbling. He asked why those significant pieces of evidence were left out of the police report, but were included in the testimony. Mr. Fisher also questioned how the police had probable cause to arrest in the first place, since there was no actual proof of myself or anyone else operating the vehicle at the time of the accident. The judge almost dismissed the case at Mr. Fisher’s request, but wanted to hear what the rest of the witnesses had to say. The next witness was the police officer that had administered my breath and blood tests. This officer was quick to mention how high my BAC was and how the circumstantial evidence was enough to arrest me. Mr. Fisher correctly argued that both the blood test and the breath test were inadmissible because the driver of the vehicle at the time of the accident could not be identified. The prosecution called more witnesses that proved to be inconsequential, and eventually the judge dismissed the case on the basis that the driver of the car could not be identified. I could not have been more impressed with how Mr. Fisher handled my case from start to finish. He created an airtight defense for me, managed to be available every time I needed him, and allowed me to pay what I could afford when I could afford it. He’s worth every penny, especially considering the seriousness of a DUI charge and how hard it is to even get it reduced in this area of Virginia. 10/10.

Not Guilty Plea, Head on Collision

Mr. Jonathan Preston Fisher's performance was exceptional by providing his expertise as my attorney to ensure I will not be prosecuted for reckless driving. All facts presented by witnesses and State Trooper was based on speculation and Mr. Fisher was very specific addressing the "speculation" eleme...nt of their presentation to the court. Judge concurred. I strongly and without reservation recommend Mr. Jonathan P. Fisher be considered by anyone in need of an Attorney that has the intelligence, experience and commitment for any client who is in need of professional support on any legal aspects specifically dealing with traffic issues.

Worth every penny

Mr. Fisher was a pleasure to work with from the beginning. I was facing a reckless driving ticket, and I was very hesitant to work with Fisher Law Firm at first, because I had no idea what kind of value I would be getting for my money. After I initially contacted the firm, he actually reached out to ...me personally, and offered to represent me himself. He assured me that he would be able to significantly reduce my charge if not eliminate it entirely, and he is a man of his word. With minimal effort on my part, I was able to go from a 74/55 reckless charge, to a modest 64/55 speeding charge. The amount of money I will be saving on my insurance premiums is certainly worth every penny it took to hire Mr. Fisher! If you need a lawyer in Blacksburg/Christiansburg/Roanoke, I highly recommend Fisher Law Firm for how simple, professional, and successful they were at handling my case.

Two Reckless Driving Charges

After search the Blacksburg area for the best potential lawyer I came across Mr. Fisher. I initially had a reckless driving charge for a single vehicle accident. A month later I received a reckless driving charge for speeding on a major road. Mr. Fisher was able to knock both charges down to 0 point..., defective equipment charges. I also have a pretty heavy driving record so he left me astonished! I've been to court many times for poor driving habits and Mr. Fisher is by far the best attorney I've ever worked with. The only thing I'd have to nitpick is that fact that communication is not the best. I had to stay on top of the cases myself and the attorney I was originally assigned to quit unexpectedly and I wasn't informed until I called a 2 days before my court date. However, Mr. Fisher himself took over and handle it exceptionally well. He also is very good with taking phone calls. He's fast paced and seems to be a man of his word. I couldn't be happier with the outcomes!
