Complicated case thankful for Mr Fischer

My case is a throwback, abused as a child by a religious man in power and I've been dealing with self hatred and confusion over the years. My case is active and therefore cannot go in great detail. Hired Mr Fischer, he listened when every one else made me feel like a liar. I am the victim here. I was... molested and raped. Mr Fischer is taking care of my legal matter. Had me seek help with therapist. I am being heard. Going through severe depression and anxiety for my adult life. I have hope. Finally have hope.

Not professional attorney. Stay away as far you can...

You would think you are hiring an attorney Mr. "Fischer" the name says a lot yet he has no moral ethics. He was hired to settle my divorce. He changed offices during my case. Use my money from his trust account which was against a court order, then drag the case with excessive billing. Check the ...state bar track record and you see yourself. Stay away...... There are many other family lawyers.

Best family law attorney!

I’ve been with Barry for over 5 years now and will always recommend him to any of my family and friends. He’s always gotten the job done aggressively and quickly. He stays on top of his cases and always follows up. If you need something done he gets it done right away. He offers full family support. ...If I ever need anything he’s there directly. He’s very thorough and personal with his clients. I’m proud to have him as my attorney and will continue to be his client for all my family law needs. He’s the best!

Conservator of a Person and Estate

I have worked with Barry Fischer for the past 8 years in regards to a conservatorship of a person and estate. His fees are reasonable for his experience and most things get done in a timely manner. He has even worked with me with a payment plan and discounted hours. At the end of the day, he was ab...le to get the case for conservatorship approved and has been able to keep the filings up to date without any negative consequences from the court. He could be better at returning phone calls in a timely manner and keeping in contact with his on going clients. First time we met, he had a nice office and now works out of his house. Either one is fine with me as long as he can get the job done. He has even gone above and beyond by traveling from Beverly Hills to Santa Ana to meet with me and appear in court. Overall, I have been satisfied with his services and will continue with them.

Great job!!

I hired Barry Fischer for my divorce and custody for my child and dog. Recommended by a friend. Barry Fischer is a consummate professional. His knowledge and support were a great help for my case. Although my case is ongoing, my child is 7 years old. My ex keeps trying to circumvent his responsibili...ty by not paying medical bills. Barry’s keen attention to details helped my case for my divorce. Barry is actively working on my ongoing case for my Child. I appreciate such remarkable work. Guidance and thank Full for wise advice. I recommend him.
