TESTIMONIALS

"I'm very pleased with the settlement agreement. In my mind, this agreement effectively clears my name of any wrongdoing and ends a dark chapter in my life. I'm also very grateful to Morris Fischer, Esq., who represented me on this case, was on top of my file and was very prepared for the hearing. I was so glad to see Mr. Fischer, who personally traveled from the Washington, DC area all the way to Billings. He made me feel confident and self assured that we were in the right."

Yes- I would highly recommend this office. In fact, I can't think of another law firm I would recommend for wrongful termination claims against the government. I got my name cleared from something I didn't deserve. Morris Fischer was worth every penny I paid him. He fought very hard for my case and his firm's professionalism and organization showed its true colors during my trial."

Morris,

'I would like you to represent me in my MSPB/EEOC hearing against the Department of Homeland Security.

My husband and I spent the last three days consulting with several attorneys. We decided that we should have gone with our gut and hired you on the spot. You stand head and shoulders above those that we met - all of whom have more years experience.

We recognize the magnitude of the situation we're facing - not only how it impacts my career, but how it impacts our family's future. We are not wealthy. We are honest, hard working people. We both come from military families, have both honorably served our country, and three of our eight children wear a uniform in defense of our nation. We've worked nearly our entire adult lives serving the public. My husband and I have always done the right "thing" even when that "thing" resulted in personal sacrifice and hardship.

We believe you are a lawyer for people just like us.... a defender of "the little guy." You struck us both as someone who is honest, open, and down to earth. You are someone we believe we can trust with our family's future. No matter what the outcome we are sure you will have given us everything you've got.

We sincerely hope you will represent me. I am available any time to talk to you on the phone or in your office about next steps. I am able and very willing to do as much of the heavy lifting to assist you with my case as I can.

I look forward to hearing from you.'

Morris Fischer then represented me in my discrimination and retaliation case against the Department of Homeland Security. I am happy to say that all of the reasons I thought he would be excellent for my case turned out to be true. Mr. Fischer exceeded my expectations. He is a master negotiator. I received a confidential settlement that I was very pleased with. He was also prompt, professional, a delight to work with and has excellent follow through."

Upon review of the response letter your Associate Ethan Sapperstein drafted in response to the OSC's attempt to shut the case down I'm very happy. Ethan drafted a work of art; I couldn't state the matters at issue more clearly, outstanding work.

Thank you Ethan and Morris

"Morris E. Fischer, LLC., handled my sexual harassment case extremely proficiently. The firm managed the critical details right up to the end of the case. Morris even provided important guidance surrounding the tax treatment of my settlement. I also found Morris to be a superb negotiator. His book, "Secrets to Your Top Recovery" which I received complimentary for retaining the law firm, was very insightful and provided me with a step by step guide to maximizing my recovery. I found it very helpful in my journey through the litigation process.

I would highly recommend this law firm for serious sexual harassment claims. "

When Mr. Fischer concluded negotiating my case to a successful resolution against Lucas Films, Inc., I turned to him and said, "You- you will be my lawyer again and I will refer you to all my friends. You changed my life for the better. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Michael Hylton

Upon meeting Morris Fischer and speaking with him for about twenty minutes, my instincts were that this was someone who understood me, my situation, as well as the legal process and how to reach a successful conclusion. As the case progressed, it simply dawned on me the more that I spoke with him, that this was someone who is probably one of the sharpest and most skilled employment law attorneys in all of Maryland.

Morris handled my case brilliantly. He developed the strongest legal defenses for my side of the case. He spent a lot of time working with me to prepare for trial. At the end of the day, my employer settled with me on the day of trial. I was quite pleased with the confidential settlement that we reached. The results I obtained from Morris E. Fischer were more than I expected and well worth the financial investment I made in the case.

I would highly recommend Morris E. Fischer as your employment lawyer. Thank you so much for the effort you made on my case. It was a great pleasure working with you."

John T. Seely, Jr.
Taneytown, MD

"Yeah! It actually happened, I got the 6% pay increase (2 steps) and I got my back pay in this check. HR Connect reflects the proper grade and step. So go get em Thomas! Call Morris Fischer if they give you any trouble. I feel certain that he was responsible for the resolution of my pay issues. I made zero progress until Morris got involved, then within 10 days they found a way to resolve my pay issues in my favor. He was just great. Thank you again Morris, I'll recommend you to anyone with labor issues!"

Cindy Faulkner

"Morris Fischer's law firm handled my case professionally and aggressively. We reached a settlement without going to trial. I would highly recommend this office for employment matters. Thank you Morris -Job Well Done!"

"I was very satisfied with my lawyer, Morris Fischer's performance. He analyzed my case very well and followed through when it counted. Whether your issue is discrimination, employment contract related or retaliation, I would recommend Mr. Morris E. Fischer for your legal needs."

Dendry Aguilar, Silver Spring, MD

Morris - you are truly a hero for the little guy.

Gerald Joseph, Severn, MD

In December, 2006 I received a letter and an appeal form from the Office of Personnel Management in reference to my retirement annuity being recalculated due to my failure to elect to pay credits for my military service.

I later found out that my annuity was being recomputed because I did in fact elect not to make the deposits because my personnel office misinformed me and gave me erroneous information that influenced my decision. I was never informed about one single negative consequence if I did not elect to make the deposits for my post 1956 military service.

I decided to hire an attorney to look into this matter for me, but after I showed him the letter I received, he informed me that I did not have a case. This was devastating because I stood to lose thousands of dollars on my yearly retirement.

I did further research and found Mr. Morris Fischer's law office and decided to give him a call since I was impressed with his credentials and experience. I explained my predicament to him and he asked me to fax a copy of everything I had received so he could review the documents.

To my amazement, I received a call in a day or so and it was enlightening to hear these words from Mr. Fischer, "Ed, you do have a case." I was still somewhat skeptical after previously being informed by another attorney that I didnt have a case.

I decided to retain Mr. Fischer to handle this case for me because there was too much at stake not to take into service a professional law advisor. Mr. Fischer handled my case professionally and accurately with the Merit System Protection Board and within a month, I received a letter from OPM informing me that I would be allowed to pay my military credits. The swift action on Mr. Fischer's part resulted not only in my being able to pay my military credits but also resulted in all back pay as a result of OPM reducing my annuity. My annuity was restored to be made whole.

I am so pleased I obtained Mr. Fischer to represent me in this legal case and I would not hesitate to obtain him to represent me in any further legal matters. I would recommend his office for representations without any reservations whatsoever.

Sincerely,

Ed Kearney
Bel Air, MD

Employment lawyer from Maryland, Morris E. Fischer, didn't waste much time in resolving my unpaid sales commission case quickly and professionally. He turned down the company's initial offers, then filed suit, moved for Summary Judgment and we obtained a rightful settlement.

THE HARDEST WORKING MAN IN BETHESDA

I walked into Morris Fischer's office in March, 2004, with a big ol' mess of a lawsuit.

My suit was the worst kind of employment law: the crushing task of litigating the Americans with Disabilities Act.  I think he took the case, despite the fact that he was taking on a suit that was already scheduled for pretrial conference because mine was and is a fascinating tale.

I was suing a Fortune 100 company, one of the largest employers in the world, represented by an international law firm with hundreds of lawyers, all of whom got paid by the page.  I had already sued my employer once for firing me; in that case, I received not just a written opinion, but a partial remand in a Published Opinion from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia. So, maybe there was something to my claim.  But I wouldn't have been in Morris' office if I hadn't lost my first lawyer, who had represented me for 5 years and faced with actually going to trial in Baltimore, Maryland, he got a serious case of cold feet.  What this meant for Morris was over a 100 docket entries, not just garden-variety continuances, jury instructions and exhibit lists, but a hearing to enforce settlement, motions to compel, motions to appoint experts, a whole raft of defense motions In Limine, and finally, Renewed Summary Judgment.  But that's not all.

The reason my first attorney choked was that he simply wasn't prepared to actually go to trial.  He postponed pretrial conference twice and pressured me to settle.  What this meant to Morris was a prior counsel who not only refused to cooperate with him, but who unbelievably delayed forwarding my files and with good reason.  He finally sent boxes of thousands of documents in a lump of papers, with no organization at all -- he didn't even provide complete copies of deposition transcripts.  Most lawyers would have walked away, but not the hardest working lawyer in Bethesda.

Morris put the necessary manpower to work on my case, sorting out the mess and overcame problem after problem my first lawyer had left for him.  Finally, it was noon on Thursday before my trial would start on Monday and the judge called to postpone the trial. I had lost my spot on the docket to a trial for 8 drug dealers.  A couple of weeks went by. The next time we heard from the judge, rather than reschedule the trial, he granted the defense Renewed Summary Judgment.

The two years Morris spent on this case featured heroic efforts over and over again.  Just like everyone else, most lawyers like to take the easy way out.  But not the hardest working lawyer in Bethesda.  Think your case is hopeless?  Don't give up before you call Morris E. Fischer, Esq.

upon retaining Morris E. Fischer, LLC in a class action lawsuit, Azikiwe, et al v. Nigeria Airways, Ltd.

Morris E. Fischer, Esq. vigorously litigated my sales commission dispute. He worked directly with me reviewing the sales documents, understood the accounting system my former company utilized to record sales and how it could be manipulated and made the tough motions before the Judge when the company couldn't produce the correct records demonstrating the sales. At the end of the day, I received a large settlement that I was satisfied with and never even had to travel once from my Las Vegas residence to the east coast for the successful completion of this case.

I was looking for a Labor lawyer in the Washington, D.C. metro area. I found Morris E. Fischer. I very much enjoyed working with Morris. He was very professional and showed a genuine interest in my case. Working alongside my union, Morris Fischer, proved himself to be a first rate labor lawyer in Maryland and we were able to negotiate a final settlement that enabled me to put closure on a very difficult episode in my life and move on to my next career endeavor. Morris also promptly returned my phone calls and was always up to date in bringing to me my case's developments.

Lida Skrzypczak, Washington, DC

My employment contract with a Washington, D.C. law firm was not well drafted.  It promised me a raise upon satisfactory performance.  Upon separation from the firm, my employer took the position that I was an "at-will" employee and had no contract rights.  Morris E. Fischer, Esq., reviewed my contract, determined that under the law, given the manner in which it was drafted, there was an excellent chance that the Courts would not view me as "at-will."  After several communications Mr. Fischer had with my employer, he compelled my employer to pay me a lump sum settlement and provide a letter of reference that I would be proud to show any future employer.  I would highly recommend this office both to employees and especially employers for drafting employment and other contracts.

Morris E. Fischer, Esq., boldly litigated the sales commission claim against my former employer to a successful completion. When the company asked the Court to move for Summary Judgment to dismiss my case, my attorney promptly counter-moved the Court to dismiss the company's defense.  Based on the quality and strength of the legal brief to the Court, not only did the company reiterate a willingness to settle, but it more than doubled its previous offer!

Mr. Fischer took my case seriously and handled it professionally.  He researched every angle of the case law to make certain that none of my claims would be overlooked and it certainly paid off.

Morris Fischer handled my disability discrimination case in a professional and more than competent manner.  He reviewed the case with me at each stage, including medical records, doctor's notes and correspondence with the company.  I felt very much included in the case right at the EEOC stage without the need to file in Court or making this too much of a disruption in my life.  I would certainly recommend Morris E. Fischer, Esq., for his knowledge of discrimination law and careful manner of operation.

My company employed me as an independent contractor and believed they could take advantage of my situation.  Morris Fischer believed in my case and showed passion and determination in winning my trial.  His knowledge of contract law in the realm of employment disputes was quite apparent when it counted, in the courtroom.  He also went the extra mile to make sure that my company paid every penny owed to me.

Al Larke, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My case was complex and after Mr. Fischer carefully reviewed it, he advised me that certain aspects favored the defendant.  He then used excellent judgment in working out a settlement, rather than proceeding with a trial and losing.  The settlement further put me in a position to recoup additional losses at a later date against the party who would have otherwise escaped liability.

Morris Fischer, Esq. recently represented me in an employee discipline case against the Department of Veteran Affairs.  I reported a system error to management in 1998. Action was not taken on that issue.  In 2004, I became a victim of the exact problem I was trying to correct.  I was falsely accused of intentional falsification of records.  Due to this accusation I was removed from my position and reassigned and required to work excessive overtime.  Mr. Fischer's diligence and attentiveness to my case, which culminated in a two day hearing, resulted in the finding of my innocence of this charge.  I was reinstated back to my previous position.  Additionally, I was reimbursed for the overtime I was forced to work.  Mr. Fischer is an attorney that works for you.
