Richard Cory Fisher

Richard joins the team at Brain Injury Law of Seattle, bringing his experience as a former felony prosecutor and Navy submarine veteran, along with his courtroom zeal and compassionate, supportive nature. He is committed to helping clients navigate the often-complex legal challenges that arise, especially when dealing with the added strain of an injury.

Prior to becoming an attorney, Richard served as a sailor in the United States Navy Submarine Force. During his five years aboard the USS Jimmy Carter, one of the most classified assignments in the military, he gained invaluable experience. Originally raised in Indiana, Richard later moved to Michigan to assist his family in starting a small business before finally being stationed in Washington after joining the Navy in 2009.

As a prosecutor he handled thousands of cases and was known as a fierce and determined trial attorney. His work focused primarily on serious traffic crime and complex white-collar fraud. As an advocate for victims and the community, he tried dozens of cases in court from DUIs to Vehicular Homicides. He was recognized by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) for his exceptional advocacy in prosecuting impaired drivers. It is in the courtroom, fighting for those injured at the hands of another, where Richard is truly in his element.

He initially went to law school with the intention of being a prosecutor and never thought he would be anything else. Yet, in case after case, he was confronted with the hard reality of the criminal justice system’s limited ability to help victims after a criminal case is closed. Medical bills, uncertainty, emotional trauma, and dealing with a permanent injury all continue to exist long after the gavel falls. Now, as an attorney with Brain Injury Law of Seattle, he advocates for those who have suffered traumatic brain injuries to provide support and hope. With Richard by your side, you can be confident that your voice will be heard and your case will not be overlooked by the court or any corporation.
