Excellent Attorney

I was referred to Fish Law Firm by another attorney. They represented me on a couple cases. I found David to be an excellent attorney. He and his team were extremely professional, accessible, knowledgeable, trustworthy, honest and had my best interest in mind. I would highly recommend Fish Law Fi...rm.

Fantastic Attorney

David Fish is an extremely professional, knowledgable and hard-working attorney. We used his services in two separate lawsuits and were very pleased by his guidance and advice throughout the entire experience. This was a very stressful time in our lives but Mr. Fish was very accommodating and sincere... in his work with us. Over the period of 18 months, Mr. Fish made himself available when we needed him, he returned calls in a timely manner and kept us informed during every step of the process. During one of our mediation meetings, Mr. Fish had the perfect balance of firmly asserting our needs but remaining calm and flexible to hear the other side's requests. We highly recommend David Fish as an attorney to anyone looking for an attentive, knowledgable, fair, and determined lawyer.

Posted by Ernest | January 30, 2015 | Identity Theft

Most dishonest and vicious person I've ever met

I hired Mr fish to defend me. I'm a physician and A lady used my medical information to bill Medicaid. More of an identity theft. From the onset, the lady was been investigated and now been prosecuted for fraud. I gave this straightforward case to him to defend me in couple of months. I ended up pay...ing him over $50,000.00 and close to $8,000.00 to his handwriting expert friend. Every lawyer and even the prosecutor of the lady were wondering why this case kept dragging on and why I keep paying this lawyer. I trusted him and therefore kept paying him. Finally I got fed up and fired him. I wrote letters to the White House, state attorney general, and my congressman, and they intent put pressure on Medicaid to throw away the case 1 month after firing him. Mr fish quickly e mail me to take credit and his last bill to me as expected was so high. $3800.00/ month. I told him to adjust and reduce it but he declined. Despite paying him over $50,000.00 over duration of the case, he went to court to get his friend judge to order me to pay outstanding balance of $6200.00. I agreed to pay him over period of 4 month. My mother passed away last month nov. 2014 and I told him about it. I was therefore not able to start paying him yet but still has up to feb. 2015 to pay the $6200.00. He has used my bank information to put a block on my bank account during Christmas time. I provided my bank information for my case, and without my consent, he took it and used it against me. Meanwhile, he has created a bill for October and November when he was not my lawyer anymore of almost $500.00 and secretly added it to the total amount making it increased from $6200.00 to $6700.00. Everybody who know my case and him think he is bad news.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"When I was a law student, I had the opportunity to assist David on a complex dispute in which he was representing an invidividual who was forced out of their small corporation by the other members. Needless to say, David's client was grossly outnumbered in the case. Never the one to shy away from the odds, David fought vigorously for his client, researched law from throughout the United States that supported his client's cause and, ultimately, prevailed. I have known David to be intelligent, kind and driven - qualities which make him an outstanding advocate. I endorse David without hesitation."
