Waste of time. Don’t do it

She will bleed you dry and then scare you into a deal you don’t want. Read google reviews. First they said $9,000 would cover my case, well $25,000 later when it came time for trial she said take the deal basically admit guilt even when your innocent. When you can finally talk to her she forgets who ...you are. Call me by a different mane, how sad. I read some of her reviews and one of the reviews came from Russ her accountant. I know because I have the bills from him, now that honesty for you. Her office lady always call you honey or babe, don’t worry hun we’ll help you. Don’t worry babe we will make it right. Ask the office about her trial experience and they just say she knows what she’s doing. No she does not. She just wants your money PERIOD. Courts made a mistake on my case and I ask them to appeal and get it dropped and she sent me a non representing me any more letter. LOSER THROUGH AND THROUGH.

It is unfortunate that you feel that way as we were able to negotiate a life felony down to a lesser crime. While I will show you the common respect not to comment directly on your specific case, I will say that you did not pay our office $25,000, nor could we appeal a clerical error (made by a data entry clerk) when it did not affect the Judge's ruling. As for our notice of non representation, that must be filed at the conclusion of every case handled by any attorney of record. I wish that you would have just asked about it as I have spoken and emailed with you several times in the last few days as you have continued to ask for our help resolving other issues. I cannot comment on my accountant leaving a review as my other clients are none of your concern. I will speak with my paralegal about calling you honey, she is from the South and tends to call everyone that because she is friendly. I am sorry if that offended you. Your comment about my office is disingenuous when you continue to call asking for assistance. I wish that you would have stated these things instead of thanking us for helping you, maybe then you wouldn't have felt it necessary to hide behind a keyboard.

Nasty Divorce

Went thru a rough and very bad bitter vindictive divorce, Jody and her staff help me thru some of the roughest times in my life...things and situations U can't imagine....Jody kept me out of jail 4 different times, not of my own but because the ex was up to no good all the time...Jody and her staff p...rotected me the best she could legally, facing charges that I was accused of and didn't do.... well the good prevailed and the state attorney, dropped all said charges cause I had performed and took the high road not stooping to the ex's level...I'll just say the judge told me after everything that was said and done, told me I was a gentleman and scholar and very noble.... don't know if anyone knows anything about judges especially a woman judge, and a crazy divorce with kids.... that's a very high honor and praise..... so my hats off to Jody and her staff..... very likeable .. very jokeable.....but b ware they will give u a nickname..... mine is "trouble"... yep just ask Patti..... "here comes trouble"..... or "trouble what r u up to now"......AAA++++++ rating.... highly recommmended......

Quick divorce

Hired attorney Fisher for a divorce. I have four kids and my wife left me to support them by myself. I was able to get a quick divorce keep the kids and I don't worry about my ex coming back to get them. She was not free but I was able to make payments, her office staff was great and they got the... job done. Jody also helped me clear up a stupid mistake I made that got me arrested and it was dropped the court.

Great D.U.I. Attorney

Unfortunately, I had to obtain an attorney for being arrested for a DUI. I had an eye-to-eye free consultation with Attorney Fisher herself the day that I contacted her and she explained to me the process we'd go through if I chose her to represent me in this matter. Everything went just like she sai...d it would. I had my DUI charges dropped to Reckless Driving and she was there every step of the way. Very professional, friendly, knowledgeable. Takes pride in her work and is very serious about what he does. I highly recommend Attorney Fisher.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
