You won't be disappointed
It was July '17 when I received my worst traffic violation. As a Manufacturing Rep with over 40 years on the road, I have piled up the miles and have had my share of traffic violations, but this one was different. It was going to jeopardize my driving privileges and severely hurt my business. I have retained Randy services before so I know he is sincere, loyal, respectful, compassionate, confident and very connected to the court system and the decision makers. I was a nervous wreck on our initial meeting and Randy took the time in settling me down. He explained in full detail our options and we settled on our approach to handling this case. I understood at the conclusion of this meeting. Over time I did what the court handed down to me. I was pleased with the outcome and the changes I would have to make for myself. Randy in his due diligence had worked out with the court and Prosecuting Staff that I could keep a license to drive and the travels in and out of the state as well as the traveling abroad, this allowed me to stay on top of the business. It was better than I had expected. I will refer everyone to Randy Fisher who needs his services.............you won't be disappointed. I will always be grateful to Randy and his genuine character, especially what he was able to do with my case.

Criminal family conundrum
In late 2015 I found myself charged with domestic battery along with a handful of other charges related to the incident. I will spare the gory details, but in short the charges were extremely overblown and based on an over exaggerated and sometimes completely false narrative. With all the charges compiled against me I was looking at 5-10 years in prison. Needless to say I was in complete shock and horror until my first meeting with Randy. Walking out of his office I felt like the entire weight of the situation was gone, and I could breathe again. In the end I took a plea deal and was sentenced to 2 1/2 years probation and some court ordered classes with the opportunity to be done with probation after a year along with the worse to the two charges I plead guilty to dropped. What Randy did was nothing short of a miracle. As much as that impressed me however, I was more impressed with the outcome of my divorce which was filed almost immediately after my arrest. I was scared to death that I was going to be cut out of my young daughter's life completely. Randy handled that case concurrent with my criminal case. He expertly maneuvered the system to put off any action in the divorce until my criminal case was done to give me a fighting chance. This was the source of some impatient frustration from me. Randy continuously reassured me that although he understood how painful it was to keep waiting to knuckle down for my parental rights, we had to win the campaign not just the little battles. With Randy's help I found myself in a situation where my wife was willing to agree to a 40/60 physical custody share as well as joint legal custody. He also did some leveraging on child support to a reasonable figure that I was very happy with. I guess all this is to simply say that Randy took the most horrific time of my life and turned it into an unbelievable good outcome. I hope I never find myself in the need of his services again. If I do however, I will without hesitation give him a call. Having Randy by your side is worth every penny.

Outstanding Lawyer
In February of 2016, I entered into a position of needing a criminal defense lawyer. I had never needed one prior, nor ever thought I would need one. When the incidence occurred I was referred by a mutual entity to Mr. Fisher. I was scared and worried about my case and didn't know at all what to expect. From our very first meeting, Randy made sure I was aware of everything that would happen and the courses of action we could take. He made sure I understood each and every aspect of what my case entailed and how each different approach could turn out before WE decided the next move. He truly "had my back" from the start of the case to the very end. He has an extremely kind demeanor, and he knew how hard I was taking the situation, so he took extra time to make sure I knew he would do everything he could to assist me. I will forever be thankful for his diligent work and knowledge of the law and the court system. I was thoroughly pleased with the outcome of my case and I have referred him and will continue to refer him to anyone I know in need of his outstanding legal counsel capabilities.

Personable & Proffesionable Lawyer
8yrs ago, I turned to Randy Fisher for a custody situation after being highly recommended. As a new, single Mom of an infant - like any other Mother or Father - I was terrified of what the outcome would be. Having only 1 week to prepare for the court date, he STILL managed to send me out of his law firm that day with the confidence I needed and assurance everything would work out. He did so by keeping it honest and not sugar coating anything.. ultimately not making me wonder if it's "too good to be true." I didn't want to hear what I wanted to happen; I simply wanted to hear the truth of scenarios that COULD happen, the probability each scenario had, and what he needed from me to help propel the case in direction of my favor. 18mo later, the case was resolved in a 4-party meeting and we NEVER went in front of a judge. Also? It was finalized to my satisfaction in such perfection that to this day the same custody agreement is still in effect and has never been revised, nor does it need to be. Randy is not only professional, he is exceptionally personable, too. When he sees me in public, he assures to call me by my first name and ask how everything is. He reminds me he is there if I EVER need anything. From the 1st day I met Randy, I have recommended anyone and everyone to him from traffic violations to custody battles and more. I have had numerous people take my word. In fact, just a few short months ago, there was a single mom that fired her attorney and hired Randy instead. She, too, walked out of his practice with 99lbs off her shoulders and 99 tear drops running down her cheeks in such "awe" knowing she was now being represented by a passionate, determined lawyer. As I will need to be visiting Randy again soon for traffic violations, I want to say I am frustrated and/or nervous.. but I can't. I know I have excelling representation and with that alone, I can sleep better at night.

Randy Fisher's Review
I am not a frequent customer of Defense lawyers, so after putting myself in a position to have to choose one, I believe that I was lucky to have gotten Randy Fisher as a choice. Randy is very knowledgeable of the Allen County court system that I was involved in and I felt confident he had my best interest in mind at all times.

Desired Results
I have used Randy through my legal troubles. All it took was one call and he was there to represent me in the most professional way. Even though I was not his only client he made me feel as though I was. I was never in the dark with Randy regarding my status. He lead me through the whole process outlining what was going on, what to expect and what I needed to do to get the results I desired. He is very upfront and a fighter for you! He's very compassionate about his work as well as with his family and friends. I have recommended him to multiple people in my network and will continue to do so!

Fantastic Attorney
Randy Fisher is a fantastic attorney! I had a number of traffic violations and a license issue and my mind and anxiety was immediately put at ease, as Randy not only demonstrated his knowledge by assessing my situation and clearly explaining to me how he could help me in a calm confident manner. He also was able to negotiate with the prosecution, which resulted in some violations being dropped and fines lowered. I completely deserved all of the violations and fines that I received, so I was pleasantly surprised how much he was able to do for me! The fact that he was able to do so much demonstrates that he has earned the respect of his colleagues on the prosecution side of things, which speaks volumes about his professionalism and character. If you find yourself in need of an attorney, please do yourself a great service by consulting and or hiring Randy Fisher as your attorney, as I believe it is the best thing you can do for yourself when confronted with legal issues!

Amazing Attorney
Randy is an amazing attorney. He came highly recommended by several people and I'm so glad he decided to take on my case. From the initial meeting with him, I knew I was in great hands. He listened to my concerns and I felt as if he genuinely cares about the outcome as much as I did. His knowledge and expertise is top notch and I couldn't have asked for a better result. If you're ever in need of someone to defend you, call Randy Fisher!!!

Working Miracles
I went to Randy Fisher about 2 years ago after being charged with 14 felonies. It was a surreal, life-altering, devastating situation for me. I was scared, confused, and at a complete loss for I had no knowledge of just how cruel and harsh the justice system is. Randy Fisher came HIGHLY recommended to me by numerous people. Upon meeting with him, I instantly felt a sense of relief. He didn't sugar-coat my situation or pretend that it wasn't a big deal. He laid out the facts and he graciously informed me of the reality I was facing. I can't tell you how insulting it was to meet with lawyer after lawyer...each of them pretending like 14 felonies was an "easy fix". Fisher was sincere from beginning to end. He guided me through the scariest experience of my life and was reliable every step of the way. Randy Fisher has a great reputation with the prosecutor and judges. They showed an obvious respect for him that was very reassuring. You WILL NOT find a better lawyer. With 14 felonies (most of them C's) I was looking at 20+ years in prison. I never saw the inside of a jail cell except upon my initial arrest. Amazing lawyer!

Excellent Attorney!
I cannot say enough good things about Randy! His Christian faith definitely shines through! At my first court hearing I'd never met my son, Randy was able to get me joint legal custody from day 1. He was excellent at mediation and mediated me to joint custody. At my last court hearing with Randy I was granted full custody of my son from his mother. Randy Fisher is highly recommended!

The real deal. True professional
6 years ago I was pulled over for a routine traffic stop on Interstate 69 northbound lanes. I worked late and was in a hurry to pick up formula for my newborn. When I was asked if they deputy and his other deputy could search the vehicle I was shocked I had only been going 8 mph over to begin with. The deputy had already scanned my vehicle with his flashlight and had spotted my Smith and Wesson 9mm. He asked if I had any weapons in the vehiclle, I informed the sherrifs deputy I had a handgun in the vehicle, as a courtesy to the officer, and presented him with my handgun permit. What I didnt know was the permit expired 5 months earlier. I had been extremely busy buying a home, having my first child and transitioning from be an active duty Marine. I was taken to the station for carrying a concealed firearm with out permit. I appeared in court the next day and doing what I thought was honorable and the right thing, I plead guilty to the charges not aware of the absurd charges. I was facing 365 days in jail. The court suspended that slapped me with home detention and large, very large fines. I had only ever had one ticket prior. Having family in law enforcement I would never know king break the law. The guided me to Randy. Randy did the unthinkable. Not only did he reverse my quilt plea, he got all my money and firearm back. The unbelievable part is the state re issued me a gun permit during our 7 month trial. All said and done , my life would be totally different if it were not for Randy Fisher. My lawyer, my savior, my friend now of 6yrs. The other gentleman who left a poor review for Randy Fisher I am sure did not tell the whole story. Randy is far from lazy. Was the most persistent lawyer in the courts system. I appeared many times during my trail and saw lawyers who could careless for their client. I did pay Randy a large sum. He deserved every penny. I was wrong and he helped me make it right. He also called me on several occasions just to check on my well being and to let me know he had everything under control. Amazing lawyer. Amazing person.
