The basic definition of burglary is the unlawful entry of an occupied building or structure that is not open to the public with the intent to commit a crime therein. There are different degrees of burglary depending on the type of structure and whether anyone was actually present when the structure was entered.
Philadelphia domestic violence lawyer Brian M. Fishman has helped many clients understand their rights when it comes to domestic violence proceedings. Domestic violence cases can be complicated, and the consequences can be severe if you're convicted. Attorney Fishman was a prosecutor in Philadelphia for over four years and worked in the Family Violence & Sexual Assault Unit of the District Attorney's Office.
Drug possession is one of the most commonly charged crimes in Pennsylvania, as well as one of the most common crimes on college campuses across the state. With so many colleges and universities in Philadelphia-University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Saint Joseph's University, Drexel University-more and more students are being charged with drug possession as schools try to crack down on illegal behavior on campus.
DUI seems like a fairly straight-forward offense: Were you driving? If so, were you under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time? However, it is not nearly that simple. There are so many intricacies in what at first blush appears to be an easily understood offense. It is important that you have an experienced Philadelphia DUI lawyer review your case and the allegations against you before making any decisions on how to proceed.
If you or a loved one have been arrested and charged with homicide, the intentional killing of another person, you need the immediate assistance of a Philadelphia homicide attorney. Convictions for homicide and related offenses are obviously life-changing and carry the longest sentences of any crimes, including life imprisonment without the eligibility for parole for first- and second-degree murder.

The Prison system paid no attention to the fact that my grandson’s designated time in prison was longer than his sentence dictated. I hired Brian Fishman to correct the situation and he did so. He aggressively attacked the problem and followed through at every twist and turn (of which there were many). He kept his eye on the ball until he achieved the desired result. My grandson will be home by Christmas instead of May. He and his family could not be happier or more pleased with the work done by Brain Fishman. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Fishman is extremely patient, professional and gets the job done! If you’re looking for a lawyer go to him for the best outcome possible. Got a felony charge dropped without doing any time, program or probation or anything! He’s the best.

Mr. Fishman is definitely worth the money, this man reassured me that everything would work out fine and I’d be okay. And sure enough he lived up to his word, courteous and respectful of his clients time he took the time to hear me out and make sure he got the right outcome. Unlike other lawyers he doesn’t like to drag out your case just to milk you for every penny you got, he puts you first and even after your case he’ll make sure your set straight. I highly recommend him!

There are moments in life when you need someone with a sharp mind but also a big heart. That was Brian. He didn't know me from Adam, but he took an hour to talk about something that was really bothering me. He was smart, compassionate, direct, and clear. It was so, so helpful and also a reminder that, despite the popular views to the contrary, some lawyers are truly amazing people who really make the world better. Thanks Brian.

I can not stress how great of a lawyer Brian is. At first I wasn’t 100% sure of the quality of lawyer I was getting but from day one he was easy to reach and share details of my case with. He took my case personal as if his own family members freedom was on the line. Our first court appearance he not only exposed a shady police officer but argued for me at my preliminary hearing as if we were in trial and beat the case right then and there! He could of prolonged until trial and got more money out of me but the fact that he didn’t is a testament to his character and quality of lawyer he is.

Mr Fishman immediately stood out in court as the sharpest and gets the highest level of respect from staff and judges. That matters A LOT! So I hired him to solve a loved ones issue. In the end Mr Fishman was able to resolve it with no charges at all. If you, or a loved one, ever runs into trouble pick this guy. Relationships matter and you can't do better. Good Luck for anyone reading and thank you Mr. Fishman for excellent work and communication.

Brian is an awesome lawyer. He helped my personal situation by 100% after the options I was given by a “public defender”. Had I not hired Brian Fishman: I would have two guilty pleas, and lost my license for six months. With my own cooperation to follow through to better my own life, Brian made the process quick and painless. He is compassionate & caring. I chose him because of the outstanding google rating but in the end I truly believe it wasn’t the luck of the draw and really I was guided towards receiving such a great lawyer! I would recommend any family member or friend his way.

Brian represented me last week against false criminal charges brought against me in Philadelphia. The two complainants wove a false narrative, perjuring and lying to the court from the moment they opened their mouths to testify. At one point, Brian wanted to introduce evidence against the plaintiffs that the judge would not allow....even though Brian cited case law allowing this evidence to be seen/heard. The judge actually directed his assistant to call a bailiff to remove/arrest Brian from the room, because Brian WOULD NOT back down. This is the kind of attorney you get when you hire Brian. He

Brian Fishman helped my family during a very difficult time. I appreciated how straight forward Mr. Fishman was during the whole process. His communication skills went above and beyond throughout the entire case. Any question I had was answered within a day. I always felt like his full attention was on us even though I know he deals with many cases.

If you are looking for a lawyer who is going to fight for you and really care, Brian Fishman is the Lawyer for you.

Brian Fishman is a great attorney and an all around good honest person! I have dealt with lawyers for over 13 years both good and bad. Brian was one of the best lawyers I've have dealt with and I am saying this from an objective view point. He was very straight forward and always maintained contact with me via email and telephone. His prices were beyond reasonable for the caliber of attorney he is. He successfully filed a motion to terminate supervision and got my probation terminated a full year and a half early so I could leave Philadelphia and move to Los Angeles for a new job that I obtained
