Lifesaver!! Move over David Blain...
Mr. Fischer performed what I believe must have been ACTUAL MAGIC with my case. Before hiring Mr. Fischer I was confused and anxious about my case and charges. He was able to ease my worries and lay out a realistic plan for my defense. All the while being willing to negotiate and work out a fair payme...

Took our money then tried to withdraw counsel
I wouldn't give a star at all. Don't hire him. You will regret it. Don't agree to make payment arrangements because he will not work on your case AT ALL. I never was late getting his money to him, yet he constantly harassed me for money. Didn't show up to court twice & lied about everything he sa...

Replied last July 05, 2017Dear Anonymous: Without knowing who you are, it is difficult to address your accusations fully. Either way, they are misleading and false as our policy is the same with every client who hires our firm. Every client who retains our office signs a contract with very specific terms, which our clients agree to, including scope of our representation and terms of the same. This sounds like a scenario where you failed to meet your agreed upon financial obligations (which you would have agreed to in writing at the time you retained us) and we were forced to withdraw. This may feel unfair, but we don't work for free. Best of luck!

I can't say the end results weren't great, but I do feel like Mr. Fischer worked hard for the case and gave it his best. He worked out a pa...
