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.

A compassionate straight shooter
I contacted Graham when I was accused of sexual assault. This was the scariest most awful experience of my life and I had no idea what to do or who to trust. Graham gave me a free consultation and gave me the news that he was reservedly confident we could overcome this. And we did. Graham's cool ...

Graham Conscientious Fisher
I'm 61 yrs. old, and Graham is the first pleasant experience with a lawyer in my lifetime. He was on my case and explored every option and stayed in constant touch with me. He got me the best result possible and I'm thankful for it. I finally have a lawyer I'm willing to recommend.

Great attorney ever.
I'm not a native, and my case is complicated. But attorney Graham did great and even went beyond my expectations. The case was dismissed at the hearing court. He provided comprehensive advices and they are really helpful. Great attorney ever.
Graham C Fisher's Lawyer Endorsements
