Law Firm Overview

Fischer, Porter & Thomas, P.C. is committed to blending superior legal counsel with caring, reasonable and responsive service. From our offices in New York and New Jersey, we provide a comprehensive range of advisory, transactional and litigation services to clients from the metropolitan area, across the United States, and around the world.

Our talented and professional attorneys represent a wide range of expertise and experience, and all have been cited for their excellence by members of the bench and the bar. Our diversity enables us to offer our clients an unusual team approach to the practice of the law, and thus assuring strong internal support to the client's benefit. This team approach gives our clients immediate access to an attorney who is intimately involved in their legal matters.

We have participated in a number of very high profile matters with a high degree of professionalism and success. We serve corporate and individual clients in all matters requiring legal and business counseling and advocacy. We provide assistance in dealing with agencies of the federal, state, county and municipal governments.

Our tradition of providing high quality, cost-effective legal services in a supportive environment demonstrates our firm's commitment to our clients. We have intentionally managed our growth, and have not allowed an atmosphere of institutionalism to affect the personal relationship, interest and understanding of client problems that have become our hallmark. We also are proud of our attorneys who distinguish themselves as involved and contributing members of their local communities and who are engaged in a wide range of pro bono activities for cultural, charitable, religious and civic causes.

Still, our greatest pride comes from our many satisfied clients who, in some cases, have had their expectations exceeded. Our firm enjoys a high retention rate among our clients, many of whom have become our most ardent supporters, as well as our trusted friends.
