About Fisher

Learn Fisher’s areas of practice.

3
Practice areas
  1. Criminal defense
    50%
    I've been practicing Criminal Law for over a decade. I love it. I won my first felony trial a year out of law school, and I was hooked. My client was wrongfully accused, and I prevented him from going to prison. Your freedom is priceless!

    15 years, 2,000 cases

  2. Family
    40%
    Relationships don't always workout. But you don't have to live in the past. There's happiness on the other side, and I can help you get there. If there are children involved, we can create the best situation for you and them.

    15 years, 400 cases

  3. Personal injury
    10%
    You probably already know how difficult it is to get an insurance company to pay you when they should, which is why I thoroughly enjoy forcing them to do so when a client of mine has been injured. If you don't want to settle, I love jury trials.

    15 years, 50 cases

I truly enjoy using the law to help people through difficult times in their lives.  Whether you've been accused of a crime, need a divorce, have an issue involving the custody or care of your children, or you've been injured as the result of another person's negligence, I can help you get the result you want.  I chose to focus my practice in the areas of Criminal Defense, Family Law and Personal Injury because those are the areas in which people in my community need the most help. 

There's nothing more satisfying than helping people regain or maintain their freedom.  Just because you're accused of a crime, doesn't mean you should have to go to jail.

Helping people get to the other side of their divorce—to a place where they can move on, and raise their children as they wish—is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. 

You probably already know how difficult it is to get an insurance company to pay you when they should, which is why I thoroughly enjoy forcing them to do so when a client of mine has been injured.

10/10 would reccommend!
Mr. Wise handled my first offense DUI and simple possession case. He was able to get my charges knocked down to reckless driving which I can have diverged. He was so helpful and has great communication skills. I believe his charisma and dedication are only a couple of the attributes that make him a well-qualified and reputable attorney. I’m so grateful for his help during a hard time!

AMAZING!!!
This guy, upon FIRST meeting him, pulled more strings on my case than a overly exspensive firm downtown could do! Heard my side of the story and went to work! The outcome that I needed is exactly what he delivered. He is extremely professional, humble, and knowledgeable of his field, and very realistic! If I ever need representation he is on speed dial!!!!

Pleased with Final results
I have had a very long and complicated process of legal issues regarding child custody and false allegations which led to a manipulation of the law by my ex wife that led me to jail on a serious technicality, Fisher Wise was recommended to me and I'm glad I followed this recommendation. He kept me from going to jail and managed to get the charges dropped. Very Pleased with the out come and the look on my ex wife's Face that she did not get her malicious way was definitely worth Fisher Wise legal fee

Child custody case
This was a very difficult case involving multiple party's, a case that not just any local attorney could handle we consulted many attorney's. Then we found Attorney Wise he was very knowledgeable about the law,our rights and he is a FIGHTER he fought for our case like no other attorney we ever had. And by the way we WON our case! If any one out there needs a fierce lawyer that will fight for you I cannot stress this enough HIRE ATTORNEY FISHER WISE!

Professional
Mr. Wise is a great attorney! I was facing a serious criminal charge and i was stressing a lot. Mr. Wise looked at the facts and assured me that although I had a tough case, he could have it resolved. He charged a reasonable fee and within two court appearances my case was dismissed! I am very grateful for Mr. Wise's professionalism and enthusiasm. Now I'm heading back to work stress free!

Good attorney based on my experience.
Divorce and custody matter-Fisher was fast getting everything I needed filed and made himself available whenever I called him. I later referred him to one of my close friends with a similar situation who said she was also satisfied from start to finish.
Posted by Andrew Miller | April 17, 2015
I recommend
Fisher Wise represented me in a Order of Protection case. I was a victim of Domestic Assault, an area that Mr. Wise knows very well. He was very well prepared and kept me up-to-date through the whole process. He was able to clearly identify the issue at hand and present it to the judge. Mr Wise is very trustworthy and I was able to share with him my concerns about the trial. He was responsive anytime I needed to contact him. His knowledge was very professional.
