Custody Case

Charice was instrumental in helping me work through a custody battle. She was always professional and calm even when I wasn't. Charice was very good at diving in and taking care of all communication with my ex-husband and made a hard process very easy for me.

Divorce

Charice is such a caring individual. It took me 10yrs to finally get the courage to proceed with a final divorce. Charice handled the case with kid gloves. Extremely professional yet very patient. Highly recommend her services.

Extremely Grateful for Her Outstanding Representation

Charice Fischer has provided outstanding support, guidance, legal advice and advocacy throughout the process of my complicated divorce. Because of her professional acumen and thoughtful approach, I was able to quickly obtain an order for child support and custody that served my children's best intere...sts. When I was ready to pursue the divorce itself, Charice explained each step that I would need to take in order to receive a final judgement, interpreted legal terminology with patience and grace, guided me toward the optimal path in an efficient and cost-effective fashion, and coached me in effective courtroom communication techniques. She faced my former spouses' negativity with fearless tenacity. Today, I am so thankful to have realized personal and financial freedom and I attribute this to her exemplary work.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
