John H. Fisher

Introduction: John's practice of law is unique in two respects: (1) John only practices in the area of personal injury and medical malpractice, and he only represents the victims of such negligence. John does not represent insurance companies (2) John limits his practice to substantial and catastrophic injury cases. John is highly selective in the type of cases that he accepts, and the vast majority of cases are either rejected or referred to other counsel. By accepting a very small number of cases, John is able to make sure that each case gets the time and attention it deserves. Since 1996, John has dedicated all of his time to the representation of seriously injured persons. John handles all types of medical malpractice claims including many different types of birth injury cases involving: • Cerebral palsy • Brain injuries • Microcephaly • Pregnancy-induced hypertension • Brachial plexus injuries • Premature delivery While the cases have ranged from brain-damaged infants to paralyzed senior citizens, the one thing that does not change is the gratification that John gets from making a difference in the lives of his clients. To John, the practice of law is more than simply a way to earn a living, but the chance to make a lasting difference for his clients. John has received one of the highest recognition possible from Martindale-Hubbell's Peer Review Rating, with a rating of "AV" preeminent in both legal ability and ethical standards. John graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor of Arts degree in government in 1988, and he graduated from the University of Notre Dame Law School in 1991. John is admitted to practice law in New York, Connecticut, and Illinois. You can learn more about your rights as a patient by visiting John's website.
