About

If you’re in trouble, or someone you care about is in trouble, I’m here to help. The government has an enormous amount of power.   Our criminal justice system is designed to overwhelm the individual and produce guilty pleas.  The United States has just 5% of the world’s population but we incarcerate almost a quarter of the world’s prisoners. I can help balance the scales.  I believe in individual rights, compassion, and putting people in a position to be their best selves.  I will listen carefully to your priorities, and will always be honest with you.  I am committed to giving each client complete and clear counsel, every step of the way.  I am an experienced trial lawyer, use creative strategies, and fight to get the best possible result for each and every client. I also work to make the criminal justice system more fair and humane.  I'm proud to serve on the Oregon State Bar's Uniform Criminal Jury Instructions Committee, the Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association's Legislative Committee, Oregon Justice Resource Center's Amicus Committee, and ACLU's cooperating attorney panel.   I look forward to talking with you.

I would recommend Graham to anyone who needs help for criminal defense. Graham is professional, considerate, he not only knows how to handle cases to get the best results for us, but also listens and understands the needs of clients besides just getting a better results for the legal case. He is so considerate that he works to get the best results to achieve a better long-term results for the clients, but not rushing with finishing the case. I had depression when met Graham, he recommended a psychologist to me, it’s an amazing psychologist and it literally saved my life. His warm words also supported me through those hard times, and his expertise in law achieved the best results we can ever be thinking of. Having Graham as our attorney is our best choice!

I am a medical doctor who sought the help of Graham Fisher, Esq for help in a matter involving the Oregon Medical Board, and health insurance billing. Mr. Fisher is an amazing intellect, as well as being a really wonderful guy. He knows and understands criminal law, provides wise counsel, and is a powerful advocate for professionals who are under investigation. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results of his work on my behalf. Graham is the best….period.

In 2012 I found myself in jail and the police blotter for the first time in my life. Faced with 4 charges including felony drug possession and a measure 11 along with a few misdemeanors I had outed myself to my family and friends of the double life I had been living for over a decade. I won’t lie this was a scary time in my life as I was looking at a 7 year minimum mandatory sentence for the measure 11. The moment I met Graham his calm and cool demeanor helped to calm my anxieties. I put in my work and got myself into a faith based treatment days after I got out of jail while waiting for trial. This was a wake up call and I truly wanted a life change. Communication with Graham was fluid in every aspect in dealing with my case. Graham negotiated a suspended sentence for the felony drug possession meaning if I kept my nose clean for 2 years, completed probation with zero violations, and completed intensive outpatient through DOC then it would be dismissed. The measure 11 along with the 7 year minimum mandatory sentence was pled down to a theft in the 3rd with minimal jail time (and I do mean minimal for what it should’ve and could’ve been). Fast forward to 2020 I met with Graham once more but this time it was to complete the necessary paperwork to move forward with sealing and expunging the 2012 incident from my life. There is a lot of shame and guilt when going through something like this especially if it’s your first time, I never felt judged by or looked down on by Graham and that is something I truly appreciate. A felony or charge doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Thank You Graham for all the you’ve put into my case! I doubt I would’ve had the same outcome with a different defense attorney. I would absolutely recommend Graham Fisher!

I was very happy with the representation I received from Graham. I got honest answers and someone who cared about my well being. He saw me through the whole process and will continue to be there if needed.

Let me start out by saying Graham was dealt a poor hand of cards with my Brother's case. My Brother was convicted of a measure 11 crime and sentenced to 8 years 4 months. Without Grahams diligent work, the sentence could have been double the amount of time. What I appreciated about Graham was his straight forward approach. He was honest from the beginning regarding the odds and realities of our outcome. Through it all, Graham remained positive, working hard to explore any and all possibilities and opportunities. With my Brother's permission, Graham communicated freely about the case as it progressed through the legal system. He worked hard and diligently with the facts of the case to ensure the very best outcome possible. Graham was able to communicate with our family in a positive way while still being realistic without giving us false hope. I would not hesitate to recommend Graham Fisher to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.

This was my first time having to hire a lawyer for anything and I could not have made a better choice than Graham. He was extremely intelligent, professional and dedicated. Graham made himself available at all hours and was consistent and transparent in his communication with me throughout the process. It really helped put me at ease and makes you feel lIke someone is on your side. I called several other attorneys before finding Graham and most not only gave a very grim outlook on my case, but also quoted significantly higher pricing. Graham not only gave me a fair price but he achieved the best possible result on my case. Would highly recommend hiring him if you need any type of legal representation.

Needed a defense attorney for a small misdemeanor charge. Every other attorney I reached out to either didn’t call me back, gave me incorrect information, or was just generally less professional. Graham was helpful from the beginning, professional, friendly, kept me informed, and is great at timely communication. Because of him my charge was dismissed and he just helped me process the expungement.

I am very pleased with Graham Fisher's commitment, professionalism, and dedication in his representation of my case. I was reluctant to hire an attorney for this case as I felt I was railroaded by my previous attorney who milked my family and I for well over $10,000 dollars and delivered the same treatment as a public defender would have. Heaven forbid I need to ever hire another attorney - but if I do, I know just the man to call. Thanks Graham....

Would highly recommend Graham Fisher as a criminal defense attorney. At all times was very professional, explained everything in clear detail and took as much time as necessary to make sure everyone was on the same page. He went above and beyond to defend our case.

I (thankfully) don't have a lot of experience with criminal defense lawyers, but did a little shopping around before I chose Graham. His compassion, calm demeanor, and willingness to learn about my case before getting hired were greatly appreciated. Although my case did not result in a total win, I do think the outcome was better than it might have been with a different attorney, and I was able to avoid going to jail... A fact that I am very grateful for. Graham's continued assistance, and interest in helping me turn my mistakes into spaces of healing, has been truly incredible, and give the sense that he is not just chasing money, but truly feels like he understands that no one should be judged solely by their worst mistakes. While I hope i don't need to hire Graham for his criminal defense services again, he has been an active part of my work to reclaim a productive life, and that is a rare gift.
