Practice Areas
Four practices. One standard of care.
Why Fischer Law
The difference is in how we practice.
Six commitments that have shaped the firm for four decades — and that shape every matter still on our desks today.
Forty Years of Experience
Since 1985, M. Paul Fischer has represented Arizonans across four practice areas — with a reputation earned in the courtroom, not on television.
Compassionate Representation
The matters we handle arrive in people's lives at hard moments. We listen first, and we treat every client the way we would want a parent or child treated.
Personalized Legal Strategy
No form pleadings, no cookie-cutter engagements. Every strategy is built around the specific facts, people, and stakes in front of us.
Transparent Communication
Every engagement begins with a written letter spelling out scope, fee, and the manner of billing. Calls are returned the same business day.
Courtroom-Ready, Always
Most matters resolve short of trial — but they resolve on better terms when the file across the table belongs to a firm that tries cases.
Arizona-Focused Knowledge
Four decades of practice in Maricopa County means we know the local judges, the local rules, and the local courthouses by name.
Since 1985
A small firm by design. Available by intention.
When you call our office, you reach a person who knows your file. M. Paul Fischer personally meets with every new client. Our associates support him under his direct supervision — and your matter receives the attention it deserves at every stage.

Representative Results
Outcomes that speak in their own quiet voice.

Multi-State Wrongful Death — Trucking
Settlement in excess of $1M per client
Multi-state wrongful death trucking accident case settled for each client in excess of $1 million each.
Medical Malpractice Wrongful Death

High-Conflict Dissolution
Assets in excess of $1M divided
High-conflict dissolution matters and cases involving assets to be divided by the court in excess of $1 million or more — resulting in divorce decrees issued by the court and matters settled.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every matter is decided on its own facts and the applicable law. Case-specific details are omitted to honor confidentiality and non-disclosure restrictions.
Client Voices
What clients have told us.
"Paul walked me through a contested custody case with a calm I didn't know lawyers were capable of. We got what was right for my daughter."
"After my accident the insurance company offered me $4,000. Fischer's office settled for forty-six. They earned every dollar of their fee."
"He told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to. That is rare, and that is why I sent two relatives to him."
"Forty years in front of the same judges matters. The deal we got would not have been possible with someone newer."
