Bradford Fisher’s Recent Reviews

“Attorney Fisher and Miss Garcia took on my case that I had even though I lived states away. We had a call to each other and I could tell that Attorney Fisher was not someone who took his client’s cases lightly. He went to court and represented me and got the job done. I am very happy with the outcome and all the praise should go to him. Just so the people reading these review understand this. I am not a shill for this firm nor was I paid to write this review. This guy got my case DISMISSED in open court and has taken a nagging pain I had off of my back. I can not thank ATTORNEY FISHER and MISS GARCIA enough. If you go to this firm make sure you request these two.”

Thank you Bill and Brad”

“Umansky Law Firm just saved my daughter’s future and I will be forever thankful. We had only a few days before her hearing. I spoke to Joe Sutter who reassured me they would handle this for us. And they did. With so little time to prepare they made sure that everything was in order and ready to go on the day of the hearing. My interactions with the staff were efficient,pleasant, and helpful. Someone was always available to assist me anytime I needed help. Attorney Bradford Fisher represented my daughter and did a spectacular job. He was professional and yet caring and dealt with the legal problem efficiently. The injunction against my daughter was dropped. After the hearing Mr Fisher took time to encourage my daughter and give her some suggestions about outstanding issues she was concerned about. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results and I will recommend Umansky Law Firm to anyone who needs legal representation. I would give you 10 Stars if I could. Thank you so much for helping us through this on such short notice.”

“This man was an absolute savior to me. He not only made me feel better, but my entire family. During conference calls, he took his time and answered not only my questions but my family’s. During my hours of need, he was there without a second of hesitation. Umansky Law Firm is the greatest law firm in the Central Florida region by far. Zahra and Bill did an amazing job by employing this man. He has saved my life on more than one occasion, as well as my sanity (and once again, my family’s). Thank you for all that you do, Mr. Fisher. You are truly a blessing.”

“Bradford’s knowledge of the law is beyond exceptional. He thoroughly looks at your case and spend time getting to know you as a client. He doesn’t just fulfill all the legal requirements for your case, but also helps to to ensure that you have continual success to move forward.
He presents you with multiple strategies, and explains each fully. You never feel like you don’t have a say. His ethics and honesty are stellar. He will tell you he can be blunt, and that is a good thing when dealing with judicial system. If I ever require another lawyer, I would not hesitate to rehire Bradford.
He has made a major positive influence in our whole family’s life.
Thank You Bradford.”

“I have no words to describe how grateful I am for having this firm to represent me on a third degree felony case, for domestic violence. The police misunderstood the truth and my attorney, Mr. Bradford Fisher, went with his nicest attitude and convinced me and my dad that the truth would be shown and he would fight with all he had. I was facing up to 5 years in jail, up to 5 years of probation and a fine of up to $5,000. Less than a month after being arrested, less than two weeks having hired him and having only one court date, my case was dismissed and my charges were dropped. As he said, the truth always helps. He was the best attorney I could have chosen, the firm is available 24/7 for questions and concerns and made me feel sure they were the right people to fight for me. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Bradford Fisher or any other lawyer of the firm as a criminal defense attorney if your plan is to win your case or have less punishments as consequences. I am truly grateful for all the work done for me. I can say they saved my life! For real!”
