Hired Attorney J. Clark Fischer

Mr. Fischer is an amazing lawyer!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not rave about him enough. He is honest and his representation is superb. He is very knowledgeable and is always prepared. He handled my child custody, divorce/equitable distribution and I could not be happier. I left the worst lawyer and was lucky to be referred to him. Hiring him was the best decision I could have made. Sometimes it is hard to chose a male for representation in child custody in fear of bias but that is not the case with him. He wants to be fair and reasonable. He is also great when it comes to going to trial. He definitely knows his stuff!!!!!!! All you have to do is be honest and tell the truth and he will do the rest. If you are looking for a great lawyer...Don't hesitate to choose Mr. Fischer.

Mr. Fischer was able to obtain my early release from Federal Prison midway through my sentence. His knowledge of the Federal Sentencing process and subsequent knowledge of current sentencing changes was instrumental. Truly an expert at what he does and I am eternally grateful.

You were paid 15k for you to defend your client, you made countless deals with the DA to get your client as much time as you possibly could all because you Clark sentenced your client before he ever scene a Judge, you made your own case with your client personal, and now because of your mistake and your failure to do anything for your client others have to suffer due to your negligence.. I will not stop until the entire state of NC knows about you.. How do you sleep at night being this crooked? It’s not the clients you hurt most, it’s the families of the clients that you Rob on the daily.. IF you know you can’t defend murderers then why take there case and there families money? If you think all sex offenders are all guilty then why would you be a lawyer that will represent them? Please people if your trying to protect your family from a mistake they may have made please don’t trust this man.. I watched him for 2 years tell lie after lie and In the end my family are the ones suffering

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
