About 9 months ago I was arrested on false domestic violence charges by a regularly violent and abusive girlfriend who came after me with a large knife and claimed I tried to strangle her to death. The charges I faced had possible career-ending consequences. After a Google search and calls to a number of attorneys, I spoke to Brian Fishman and was immediately impressed by the nature and depth of the questions he posed. The other lawyers I spoke to seemed as though they were offering me lip service by making promises with little information in order to get me into their office. I got no such feeling from Brian. Brian exhibited great strategic skill and negotiating tactics when working with the assistant district attorney assigned to my case. After the ADA reviewed the evidence and spoke to the “victim,” Brian was able to arrange for the charges to be dropped in exchange for a fantastic plea deal that will allow me to expunge my record as though this ordeal never happened with nothing more than a year on probation. While Brian was eager and ready to go to trial, I chose to accept the deal to avoid risking permanent damage to my career by someone who demonstrated she is willing to lie even in the face of concrete evidence contradicting her story. Throughout every step of the legal process Brian was nothing short of meticulous and professional. Having zero experience facing criminal charges, I had a million questions and barely any clue where to start, but Brian was willing to spend the time to explain to me the nuances of the criminal justice system. His prompt and thorough responses to my phone calls and emails invariably left me satisfied with their detail. In addition, the uncertainty of my future left me emotionally distraught and in a horrid place mentally, but he was always there to counsel me through the process. While I was impressed by Brian’s legal expertise, his compassion stood out in a tremendous fashion. Brian genuinely understood the hardship that I was dealing with and was nothing short of sympathetic even when I would talk his ear off about seemingly trivial matters. I strongly feel as though we established more than a professional relationship and while I pray I will never need to retain his services in the future I will continue to keep his card in my wallet and recommend him to anyone I know in need of a great attorney.

Brian Fishman of The Fishman Firm was a Godsend to my family, he came highly recommended and I soon saw why. My daughter got into some trouble in the summer time. She is a very good girl and was raised right. She hung out with the wrong people and got into some trouble that could have mess her up for life. Brian sat us down and assured us he would help her out. Brian is a very caring person you can feel he really cares about his clients. He took time to explain every detail of the case and how he will work the case. Brian keeps his word he did exactly everything he said he would do. His fees was exactly what he said it would be from the beginning of the case all the way to the end, he even help us out with a payment plan. He showed up on time to every hearing and explained what was going to happen and what we needed to do. My family was very nervous as we was not use to being in court Brain was always there calming us down. He made himself available to us any time we needed to talk or needed any information. Brian was able the get the charges reduce down. Now my daughter has a chance to redeem herself and be successful in life. I thank God we met Brian and we see him as a friend and not just a lawyer. I rarely take time to write a review but it would have been an injustice if I did not. If you need a good OK lawyer then don’t call Brian but if you need a great caring Lawyer that will hold your down and fight and give 100% of himself then you have the right guy. Brian Thank you for everything once again!!

The day that I called Mr. Fishman was the worst day of my life. I was just discharged from hospital before I was arrested, and charged with assault and recklessly endangering another person. My preliminary hearing was couple days away, and I was 4 months pregnant, with no support system in the city. I had no idea what to do. Mr. Fishman was really nice on the phone, he calmed me down, listened to my story, told me everything’s gonna be alright. and set up a meeting on the next day. He is very professional, he knows exactly what he is doing, he replies emails, texts and return calls right away. He answered all my questions and explained the whole situation to me, kept me informed the whole time. The most important is the result he got for me, after he communicated with the DA’s office, he got them to agree to withdraw all charges before the preliminary hearing! So if you want a trustworthy, knowledgeable, caring attorney, Fishman is the one. He would bring you.the best results. I certainly hope I will not need a Criminal Defence lawyer in the future, but if I do, I will hire no one other than Mr. Fishman. Thank you Mr. Fishman for being an awesome attorney and being such a kind person.

Brian Fishman is a honest, sincere and incredibly thorough attorney who stands by us right from initial conversation and all the way through the closure of case. He is very professional with communication, setting expectations, dealing with different parties involved etc. Few months back, there were some false charges levied against me and Brian was able to highlight the missing information with discovery and has worked with DA to make them withdraw the charges- even before going to the trial. Though the whole process took couple of months- we were very comfortable dealing with Brian and the way he handled the things for us. He is very responsive no matter what time it is. He made me feel very comfortable, like family so to speak. All our family, who went through a lot throughout this period is grateful to Brian and I wish there was more stars available to rate him. He has been very trustworthy and I highly recommend Brian for any one looking for a legal help around Philadelphia area with criminal cases. Thank you so much Mr. Fishman, you are better than the best.

Brian successfully defended me in a 2016 criminal case in Philadelphia in which a young female neighbor falsely accused me of aggravated assault (strangulation), an accusation that was supported by her boyfriend who claimed to have witnessed the incident. Since I had known the woman for several months I was able to provide Brian with evidence questioning her credibility. Brian took time to clearly explain the intricacies of each step in the court proceedings. At trial Brian demonstrated a very high level of mastery of criminal law proceedings to introduce evidence despite the objections of the prosecution. Brian systematically demolished the testimony of the three prosecution witnesses: the arresting officer, the plaintiff and her boyfriend. I strongly endorse Brian Fishman for any criminal matters you may be facing. Be assured you will be retaining a high caliber attorney with a great sense of humor as well.

Brian Fishman came highly recommended to me several years ago. My first experience working with him and every one thereafter has been excellent. Brian has demonstrated commitment to his craft, and diligence in aligning with clients. Brian consistently exhibits compassion, & skill, while remaining objective enough to give well informed legal counsel. I have remained connected with Brian for at least ten years now, and what a blessing it has been to have him as my attorney. Brian’s acumen as an attorney is superb. His ability to connect with his clients on a very honest & personal level is authentic. Mr. Brian Fishman, is simply put, an excellent attorney, and a caring man. I highly recommend him to anyone. He is highly effective in navigating the complex overlap between client’s legal, social, and interpersonal struggles.

First off Brian is not only an outstanding Attorney, but an amazing human being! He is kind, compassionate, and understanding. From the very moment I met with Brian I knew I was in excellent hands! His knowledge of the law is second to none and he is really slick. My case was not a big money maker in any way, but this did not deter Brian from treating it with the utmost importance. He gave me his cell and always returned my calls promptly. I felt like we were old friends rather than client and attorney. I was facing very serious felony charges and Brian got me ARD! If your life is in the hands of the court do not hesitate to call him!

Having never hired an attorney, I was very apprehensive about the whole process. I called many attorneys for consultations, but Brian was by far the most helpful and realistic. Throughout the process, he was extremely responsive and always made sure to keep me informed. When something unexpected came up (in life, unexpected things always come up), Brian told me not to worry and that he would alleviate the situation. And he did very promptly. I feel as though Brian went out of his way on my behalf every step of the process. I would wholeheartedly recommend Brian and his firm to anyone. Do not waste your time with anyone else.

Mr. Fishman was a zealous advocate for my defence during every step of the judicial process. He is informative, supportive and makes an effort to be available for his clients as much as possible. He is also very personable and is personally invested in your success...not just in court, but as a person. He knows how the legal system works and will make sure you are defended properly and fairly. He is honest and open about your situation and will see to it that your best interests are protected. I would recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney. He has all the tools you would be looking for in an attorney.

I had applied for a passport this summer to go on a vacation. When I received the paperwork I was denied due to an outstanding warrant in Philadelphia, Pa... I have not been in Philly since the late 80’s. I now live in N.C. I was in the Navy and I was preparing to ship out. I had paid an attorney to take care of the charges, and he did not do his job. After thirty years, I asked Mr. Fishman to represent me. I made two trips to Philly and Mr. Fishman was always assessable to me by phone. He walked me through everything I had to do. I would recommend Mr. Fishman to anyone in need of an attorney.

I would recommend Brian Fishman to anyone. He is very professional and has so much knowledge and cares about his clients and this is one of the most important things. Brian takes the time to go over everything on a professional level and takes the time with his clients to make sure everything is done in the correct manner. He explains everything and is very good in the courtroom. Brian is by far the best Attorney that I every experienced and I am so thankful that I found him. He truly cares about his clients.
