About Graham
Biography
If you’re in trouble, or someone you care about is in trouble, I’m here to help.
The government has an enormous amount of power. Our criminal justice system is designed to overwhelm the individual and produce guilty pleas. The United States has just 5% of the world’s population but we incarcerate almost a quarter of the world’s prisoners.
I can help balance the scales. I believe in individual rights, compassion, and putting people in a position to be their best selves. I will listen carefully to your priorities, and will always be honest with you. I am committed to giving each client complete and clear counsel, every step of the way. I am an experienced trial lawyer, use creative strategies, and fight to get the best possible result for each and every client.
I also work to make the criminal justice system more fair and humane. I'm proud to serve on the Oregon State Bar's Uniform Criminal Jury Instructions Committee, the Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association's Legislative Committee, Oregon Justice Resource Center's Amicus Committee, and ACLU's cooperating attorney panel.
I look forward to talking with you.

Graham Fisher is top notch!
I’ve never needed a lawyer for anything so I searched for lawyers near me that could assist with my needs, and Graham Fisher was the first one I looked at.

Great Lawyer!!
Graham was a great attorney and was very easy to work with. He has great knowledge in the law and moved around many obstacles to get the best outcome that could possibly be had. I would recommend him to anyone whom may need legal counsel.

Great man and better attorney.
I could not recommend Graham more; my case was a hard one to defend and he managed to get me the best of all realistic outcomes.

Highly recommend.
He kept me very well informed on what was going on with my case, he listened to my concerns and opinions, and he was excellent at conveying them to the opposing side. No complaints.
Graham C Fisher's Lawyer Endorsements
"I know a lot of great lawyers, and I've endorsed many of them. What makes Graham different is that I don't know any defense lawyers who have pulled off as many miracles as he has. What's a miracle?
