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.

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.

Remarkable Results

This lawyer was hired for family law regarding a intensely complicated case with my ex husband. Manipulated for years by my ex, my child and I required a lawyer like Mr Fischer. Primarily, to think outside of the box, view and deal with my legal entanglements that seemed complex to me since I had oth...er represent me. Mr Fischer was able to get us positive outcome. Knowing my ex, my case is far from over. He rejects authority to the detriment of our child that has special needs. I’ve been in and out of court, it feels overwhelming, for the last 4 years. Mr Fischer conducted our case effectively and somehow achieved the impossible, to get further medical costs pertaining to the special needs of our son. Greatful to expertise of Mr Fischer. His professionalism and knowledge immense. Highly recommended.

Great Attorney

When I met Barry it was probably the most terrible time in my life, going through a divorce. Barry was so professional and calm and helped me get through what was literally the worst experience in my life!! My ex husband had filed a restraining order for no apparent reason other than he was worried I... was going to take his things ,it was all completely bogus which later My x apologized to me, he said that's what his lawyer told him to do. at any rate I'm telling you that it was just a really difficult and scary time and I have 2 children of my own. Barry did more than excellent job in getting everything I needed to get on my feet. Believe it or not I am back with my ex husband's we don't live together but it is now going on 19 years Anyone is going through a terrible divorce Berry is your guy he's honest and very caring and extremely professional!! And he was always on time and very attentive!! There are not too many honest attorneys out there but I'll tell you Barry is definitely a stand up guy!!

I have worked with several divorce attorneys over the last years. Barry has been with me for the last 4 years durring a horrible custody fight. To have someone play dirty to try and take a son from a mother is a pain many can understand. Barry was able to deal with me who was rather upset when we met.... More importantly Barry is well k own and well liked and that's important it is in essence a small world. He knows how to Del with each person as an individual not just another lawyer or ex husband. He is impecibly prepared. So smart. He got to know me so he could help me not attract my weaknesses but my strengths. Most of all he cared never has he not returned a call within hours, that in itself is a miracle. I have had several divorces. He won one divorce for me beyond what I dreamed. But after countless hours of work he is going to save my child. If he will take on your case you hire him because he will save your life. It's a very very specialized field of law. Out of all the business attorneys, divorce attorneys Barry was the best attorney of them all. This is very personal advice but I needed to say something. Custody fights can take your soul. Barry does not let that happen. If you are a client of Mr. Fischer you are cared for and respected as a friend. I owe my life to Mr. Fischer.
