So despite the fact I met Brian almost two years ago come January I was facing a very secured case on my charges and looking to be sent away for a long time. Brian fish men never gave up on me not for One second to jail visits to personal phone calls on helping me with my addiction long story short Brian puts together an awesome defense for myself and presents it to the judge we made almost 9 court appearance and Brian was ready for them all in the end I walked out a free man not more than 6 months later...... fast forward a month after that Brian represents me for a possession case I’m bucks county that happened prior to the Philadelphia case where we were all sure I was going away for a long time. Brian gets the charges dropped no license suspension and gets me 1 year of probation. Now 6 months later I violate numerous times hot urines new arrest absconding fleeing a court room refusing a urine refusing to comply with drug program and I was sure I was going to jail but again Brian fishman the man the suit the well played attorney had the judge agree with him well probation n parole where asking for a 6-12 month incarnation followed by parole. So once again Brian pulls another W out and I walk out a free man when we were sure I was leaving in hand cuffs. Brian fishnet is honestly one of the most out going and caring lawyers I ever encountered he wasn’t just my lawyer he became part of my family if your going to have anyone represent you from pa nj Brian fishman is definitely your guy... sorry this took 2 years to do Brian lol

I was falsely accused and faced felony charges. Within 2 days of hiring Ellis, he got me released and the charges were withdrawn.

My son was looking at felonies and he got all charges withdrawn

Ellis is the rare lawyer who combines tremendous intelligence with compelling courtroom presence. He’s also very empathetic with clients. I recommend him without reservation.

Brian Fishman was referred to us by people on the 'inside' whom have worked with Mr. Fishman in the past. Being brand new to the 'system' and out of state- I had reservations. I looked up Mr. Fishmans reviews and gave him a call. After receiving a free consultation, that was not a 'wham bam thank you ma'am' - Mr. Fishman took time to explain how proceedings worked, and even offered information to me that I didn't even think to ask. He was very clear and confident about the information he was giving me and even gave me alternative options other then hiring himself (Public defender/ how bail options worked etc.) I didn't feel like I was being 'sold'. I had spoken to several attorneys prior to him, but after speaking to him was more then satisfied. Mr. Fishman told me what time to expect him at every court date, followed up with e-mail reminders for the next proceeding (court times, rooms, dates). We never waited longer then 24 hours for a return call/email. Over the months Mr. Fishman became like family. Someone just to console me when I felt overwhelmed with my loved one on the inside wanting to get out faster then the system allowed. He was always understanding and sensitive to OUR situation. After all was said and done over the last year, we were never made promises for outcomes, and Brian went above and beyond REACHING to get us the best outcome for our circumstance. "Sometimes winning - is less losing". I would recommend Brian to anyone who is looking for that straight forward, give it to you honest, no sugar coating, fight for you tooth and nail, demands respect type of lawyer. Thank you for your honesty, compassion, availability, and time. We thank you for what you were able to do for us. God Bless

A trusted attorney that I highly recommend. Very prompt, knowledgeable, and the best advocate for clients who need it the most.

You are in good hands with Ellis. He's persuasive with judges and juries and diligent in taking care of his clients. Young lawyers go to him to learn trial skills so they can learn from the best.

I strongly recommend Ellis for criminal defense cases. He is an excellent attorney, and he cares about his clients. I regularly refer clients to him when I have a conflict if interest because I know they will be in good hands.

Nice reviews. It’s kind of upsetting how the majority of the reviews are positive and 5 star ratings, wow you people must have been very important or priority to this Lawyer. I don’t want to write a negative post but I wanted to post a truthful one from personal experience. I should have search more for a top defense attorney, I chose Fishman based on the great reviews, and thought my case will be priority as well like all of you but we were wrong. Two days after catching our case I hired Fishman. Paid him $750 to start my case. After paying this man he never followed up, or kept the family updated on the case. We left tons of messages for his assistant who is also very inconsistent and also doesn’t return calls, never received a call back. $750 down the drain, Fishman had a whole month to prepare prior to trial, to obtain all discovery and ensure our family that he will try to get the Earliest Date Possible but got us a trial date for 2 months out. Not to mention, after acknowledging that our court date was two months out We contacted the office right away, knowing our frustration the assistant should have been more understanding but she wasn’t. She specifically told us we cannot not call the office with a attitude basically, as if I didn’t pay this man $750 to start a misdemeanor case. Oh, it’s been weeks since pre trail still no call from Fishman. My family and I were fed up, but we kept our heads held high and scramble extra money to hire A new lawyer, so far he’s followed up consistently about our case and we feel at ease. With all of his clients we feel priority also. Our new Lawyer is actually doing what he was paid to do and he is a highly respected. Please do not let my review stop you from hiring lawyer in Philadelphia. I just wanted to give my honest review since the majority of the reviews are extremely positive and it doesn’t make any sense to me at all. I am very disappointed in this Law Office, no I would not directly recommend anyone to spend hard earned money to a lawyer who doesn’t return calls or messages. Personally I feel as though a Public Defender would’ve did more than Fishman, but then again this is just my experience yours could possibly be different. My advice is to do your research meet with other lawyers , and never never never pay all up front, because you could be my family in this situation. Hopefully I helped a honest hardworking family out. Our new lawyer is great if your looking for a Top Philadelphia Defense Attorney !
