Knowledgeable, straightforward, honest

Alan Fishman was referred to me by an immigration attorney I respect, and I am very happy I hired him. My divorce involved some unusual circumstances which Mr. Fishman navigated expertly. He recommended a straightforward course of action, and everything transpired just as he had promised, without a s...ingle hiccup. Maybe most importantly, the price he quoted was the price I paid. No unexpected hours or fees. I highly recommend Alan Fishman as a divorce attorney.

Legacy recovery specialist

There are no words that can describe the importance that this man has meant to me, my family, and to my legacy. Throughout the three plus year process, from filling emergency petition for immediate visitation. To finalizing the growling process with the biggest victory of my life, with now having FUL...L CUSTODY of my children I can now die a happy man providing for my boys! From day one Alan never allowed my financial struggles to interfere with the progress he was ultimately able to make in our victorious case.

Review

When I saw these reviews, I was glad to know I wasn't alone and am most appreciative that these are fairly recent. I was referred to Mr Fishman by another attorney when I wasn't in a position to really research divorce attorneys. Mr Fishman was a nightmare. Never responded unless the now ex had a co...ncern and when he did, he came off as if he was working for them. Perhaps that's why he gets endorsements from other attorneys? Never, ever kept me informed of any hearings or motions being filed. I eventually had to spend money and go online to find out that there was actually a court date for my divorce, among other things that had been set well more than a month before I found out that way. He seems to be judgmental, and anyone that has such strong feelings against his client should really not take them on. But, that's greed I suppose. Anyway, in line with every single complaint on here, completely agree and experienced it. Mr. Fishman, in my opinion, could care less about his paying clients, completely forget it if he sees you running out of money, may be sexist (not sure but seriously possible), cruises really close to crossing over lines regarding attorney/client confidentiality by simply not communicating with his client before doing whatever little it is he does. Cannot believe he is President of the Broward County Bar. God help everyone if he is considered by his peers as an example. And to those attorneys that endorse Mr Fishman should be ashamed because his conduct toward clients is unforgivable.a

Does't Care

Alan Fishman just does not care about anything or anyone.. He takes several months to respond back to you. He never does what he says he is going to do. I have had to handle everything in my case by myself. I would never recommend him to anyone. He has done nothing but waste my time and money.
