I was charged with a DUI in January 2017 by Montgomery County, VA and hired Jonathan Fisher as my defense attorney. I was stopped by an officer after reportedly making a "wide" turn. I agreed to take a field sobriety test believing that I was not impaired. However, I was met with disrespect and ho...stility from the officer for the duration of the test including incessant yelling and overall unprofessional conduct. I refused a field breathalyzer test, only to take another at the station moments later. The test registered a 0.09 reading and I spent the night in a jail cell. I came to Jonathan for free consultation after reading some impressive reviews online. During the session, I could tell that his knowledge and skill base in DUI law was superior to other attorneys that I had consulted. He provided a multitude of arguments that we could pose to the prosecutor from the stop to the breathalyzer reading, and it appeared that there was a good shot of having the case thrown out, and at the very least reduced to a reckless driving charge. However, after reading the officer's arrest report, it was clear that he embellished the field sobriety test results, lied about reasonable suspicion for the stop, and did his very best to smear me in the eyes of a judge or prosecutor. Approaching the trial, it seemed my best case scenario would have been a reckless charge, potentially coupled with large fines, and a possibility of VASAP requirements and/or license suspensions/restrictions. From what I understand, his plan of attack was to refute any field sobriety results based on miscommunication and lack of instructional integrity on the part of the officer (I am very ADHD, have trouble with directions under stress, and the officer was young and inexperienced). He also wanted to attack the breathalyzer results based on an unknown machine margin of error (MOE). Then, just hours before the trial, Jonathan was able to convince the prosecutor and officer to settle on a reckless driving charge with a $500 fine (plus court fee), no class, no suspension! We were able to settle before the judge without having to go to trial. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. He charges a wholesome rate, but he is THE BEST, and is worth every penny, especially with a looming charge as serious as a DUI (in a very conservative part of the state). It was clear to me that his words carried weight in the courtroom and that the prosecutor, judge, and local lawyers were well aware of his skill set. He is approachable, tactful, and very professional. The most notable benefit to hiring Jonathan was being able push aside the stress and fear accompanying a DUI charge, and focus on life/work knowing that I was in the best hands possible. 10/10

Mr Fisher was very professional and handled my case remarkably well. He was readily available to answer all my questions. I know I made the right choice in hiring him. He was obviously well respected by all in the courtroom. He was able to get my charges dropped and I was out of court in little ove...r an hour. Truly an amazing attorney!

I'm not usually one to leave such a public opinion about someone online, but in this case, I think Mr. Fisher has definitely earned this review. When I hired Mr. Fisher I made it very clear that I have a lot of anxiety and was nervous about the reckless driving charge that was brought against me. I m...ade it known that I only wanted him to represent me. He took time to answer every text message, return every phone call, and even blocked out time for me to meet with him at his office. He assured me that he would take care of this charge. He was well respected by everyone in the courtroom; researched law to help fight this case. However, in the end I was convicted with reckless driving, but he immediately told me not to give up. He continued to stay in touch which really helped reduce my anxiety. Mr. Fisher didn't waste any time researching case law for an appeal. He never gave up on my case. The day before my appeal he was several hours away with another case, but traveled back for my appeal... and drove several hours back for his other case after my appeal. He could have just sent someone else from his office, but he didn't. I respect that he showed up and was able to negotiate a plea deal for me. He always did what he said he would do. It's true that we had to overcome some obstacles along the way, but he was truly the best lawyer for me. I am blessed to have hired Mr. Fisher to represent me. He is the reason I was able to get my reckless driving conviction down to an improper driving and a mere $200 fine. His services were not cheap, but he did allow for a payment plan. & I firmly believe that you get what you pay for. Mr. Fisher earned every dime that was paid to him and I am further ahead, financially, by not having to worry about my car insurance going up or losing my career... thank you Mr. Fisher, I appreciate all you've done for me!!

I hired this firm after finding them online. Under the advertised under the service, I was looking for. After getting a prompt phone call back, from Mr Fisher. I was impressed with his seeming interest and willingness to work. Or so, I thought. Turns out, I made a very bad decision. I paid, and was a...voided and put off for weeks, nearly a month. Then a "different" attorney contacts me, Mr Hershey. I was informed he would be handling my case. I would've been fine with that, had he actually handled my case. But again detoured avoided vacations excuse after excuse. Gave my information several times. No filing NOTHING. I literally had to barrage this man with "texts" (our only form of communication because he won't answer his phone or return calls, EVER!) To get him to finally file the paperwork. 3 months later paperwork gets filed. Almost 6 months later, I'm still trying to get a update?! I received a return text after my reaching out, again. Stating paperwork has been filed out of my hands. I thought I had hired a attorney not a secretary. Their advertisements must be false, I don not believe they have ever done 1 case like mine. !!!! AWFUL SERVICE!!!!!!

We hired Mr. Fisher when my son got a DUI (.11 BAC) last summer. He passed the field sobriety test. (His BAC was .06 when he was booked.) When we went to court, Mr. Fisher prepared our son well. Our son had the option of guilty or not guilty. He decided to plead not guilty due to extenuating... circumstances. Mr. Fisher told us what to expect, including the possibility that the charges would not be dropped given the alcohol level (which was at the point where judges often show non leniency). When Mr. Fisher entered the court room, you could feel an air of respect - not fear, but respect. Even the Commonwealth (prosecuting) Attorney, who was very aggressive in pursuing his argument showed respect. Mr. Fisher argued for dismissal on the grounds that the arresting officer's report stated that the vehicle "was either on or over the line" four times. (My son was driving closer to the middle line due to deer on the side of the road including one that ran in front of his vehicle It was nighttime and there were no other vehicles on the road. However, the matter of the deer did not come into play). Following the initial arguments, the judge asked several pertinent questions and then asked the lawyers to take a recess to discuss the matter rather than rendering his immediate decision. After the first recess the Prosecutor would not relent and the judge sent them back to reconsider. After the second recess, the senior prosecutor intervened and agreed that the law is intended to protect people from unreasonable prosecution, and must be beyond ambiguities. Because the officer's report stated "either/or" it was too ambiguous. The case was dismissed. During the entire trial Mr. Fisher showed us to be a first class representative for our son He is experienced and wise. There were times I assumed he might interject, but I realized that he knew exactly when to use silence as the most effective tool. Jonathan Fisher is second to none. In our experience; it was immediately clear that his reputation preceded him. In addition, I would like to emphasis that Mr. Fisher is non-judgmental, approachable and good listener in the office and very accessible outside of the office. Also, Mr. Fisher has close personal and professional ties to Virginia Tech, the greater community and Virginia but ALSO the surrounding states. My family and I unequivocally give Mr. Fisher our highest recommendation.
