  “I highly recommend Fischer Law, Russ was my attorney; he is understanding, explained things and always kept me informed. Allicia, his paralegal is fantastic and prompt in responding to questions or concerns. Both are personable caring good people. About 2 years ago I was the victim of a hit and run when I was at a stop light on my way home from work. After treatment and car repair I contacted another attorney, whom took my case. After a short time then informed me that they would not be perusing the case and dropped me. I contacted Fischer Law, they were recommended by a trusted friend and business owner. Russ listened to my story and accepted my case. Allicia assisted in gathering all information, paperwork and bills to prepare my case. During this process she was always communicating and answering any questions I had. When it was all together, Russ reviewed the next steps in negotiation process with me. It was not long that an agreement was made with the other party. I am blessed and very thankful for them and all they have done. I am doing well and I highly recommend them.”
