Terry was recommended to me by a friend, who is also an attorney but did not deal with bankrupcy. I found him to be highly knowledgable, helpful, compassionate and persistent with my case. My situation was complex and Terry did the extra research and made additional referrals for me to get the specific information I needed beyond his expertise. He made this very difficult process manageable and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney for bankrupcy.

Throughout my case, Mr. Fisher listened to my concerns and really put my mind at ease. I felt that he truly had my best interests in mind. He was objective and offered honest feedback. He always returned my calls in a timely fashion and spoke with me and not "at me". He was a good listener, noting details and very thorough. He was committed to get the job done well! I highly recommend Mr. Fisher!

I would and have recommended Mr. Fisher. He is an awesome attorney and person. He is very personable. He listens to the situation and gives you the best advice. He does not rush you and he truly listens. He asked me on every single occasion if he had answered all of my questions and if there were anything else I needed. He answers his emails and voice messages in a timely manner despite his busy schedule. I think out of all Mr. Fisher's great characteristics, I love his kindness the most. This man is so pleasant to be around. I was extremely comfortable right away with him. I "interviewed" several attorneys before making my decision. I knew after a matter of minutes that he was the attorney for me! In any customer service profession, it is very important to have great service skills. He takes the cake by far! I can not express how pleased I am with him! He is knowledgable, kind, and he cares about your needs and will give you the best service he can offer. He is definitley one in a million!

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
