Our Only Mission Is to Provide Excellent Legal Representation and Reduce the Suffering of Everyone Involved in Our Cases Starting with Our Clients.

1. COMMUNICATION

I believe that one of the keys to success with any case is a commitment to open and honest communication. I’ll always be direct with you about your situation.

2. PREPARATION

I’ve always placed a high value on being prepared for anything. That’s why I’ll be sure that we’re prepared for any legal challenge that lies ahead — no matter what.

3. EXECUTION

At the end of the day, my results speak for themselves. My job is to help you find a solution that fits your needs, and I’ll do everything in my power to get those results.

I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT I DO: SERVING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES.

I love what I do because it gives me the chance to help others in need. Whether you're facing a divorce or family law issue or an unjust criminal case. I’m here to fight on your behalf to help ensure your needs are taken care of. I believe that successfully navigating these legal challenges can have a lasting impact on your future, and I want to make sure you're in a position to succeed.

That’s why I try to remind all of my clients that having an experienced attorney at your side is not only a constitutional right but a necessity when legal troubles arise. This is, in part, due to the fact that virtually no one is prepared for the stress and anxiety that comes with a serious legal matter. Whether it’s a criminal charge or a personal family issue, these circumstances can spring up on a moment’s notice — leaving you in a vulnerable position and in need of help from someone you can trust.

That’s exactly why I decided to open my own firm so that I could help those who may not be in a position to help themselves. I can help you find relief from your legal challenges by helping you understand your situation and all of the options available to you. From there, I can help you outline a successful path forward.

Criminal Charges I Focus On

DUI Defense

Being convicted of a DUI can lead to you losing your license, jail time, and hefty fines. If you have been arrested, contact me at the Law Offices of Fisher Wise for representation.

Drug Crimes

I can represent people who have been charged with drug crimes at both the state and federal levels. From simple possession to manufacturing and trafficking, I will fight for your rights.

Domestic Violence

Whether your domestic violence charge is a misdemeanor or a felony, I am ready to defend you. These charges can ruin your future and I want to give you the strong legal defense you deserve.

Do You Need a Criminal Defense Attorney?

The justice system won’t always look out for you.

Every person that has been charged with a crime deserves a fair trial and a criminal defense attorney who will fight for their rights. For over a decade, I have been a dedicated advocate for Chattanooga residents who have been charged with domestic violence, drug crimes, or a DUI. Contact me at the Law Offices of Fisher Wise to discuss your case.

After an arrest, police officers may try to convince you that you can trust them and talk to them, but you shouldn’t. Instead, you should use your constitutional right and contact me at the Law Offices of Fisher Wise and hire me as your criminal defense attorney.

Divorce in Tennessee: What You Should Know

Whether your separation is amicable or high-conflict, I’m here to help.

Tennessee’s civil courts recognize that marriages end for all kinds of reasons — from spousal mistreatment to “irreconcilable differences.” Regardless of whether your separation is mutual or fault-based, an experienced divorce attorney can help you negotiate fair terms on matters such as property division, child custody arrangements, child support, alimony, division of debt, and related considerations.

Few things in life carry the same kind of emotional stress as family law matters. Whether it’s a divorce, child custody dispute, or other family-centered legal concern, you deserve an attorney who will take the time to understand your unique needs and advocate for you in a constructive, effective way.

Divorce & Alimony

Over the years, I’ve worked closely with clients going through divorces on both ends of the spectrum — some extremely amicable; others extremely hostile. No matter what strategies the other side tries to use, though, I always approach the negotiation table with clear goals and a level head.

Child Custody & Parenting Plans

When it comes to child custody, visitation, and child support arrangements, my goals as an attorney align with the goals of the court: to do whatever is in the best interests of the child. I’m not afraid to go to bat for you and your children if the other side isn’t agreeing to a reasonable parenting plan.

Other Family Law Matters

While divorce, alimony, child support, and child custody arrangements make up the bulk of my family law practice, I’m also happy to work with clients who need help with other family-related legal matters, such as adoption and guardianship. When in doubt, just call to schedule an informative consultation.

If I could give more stars, I would.

After speaking with nearly a dozen attorneys—some barely listening, others more focused on quoting a price or getting back to their golf game—I was beginning to lose hope. Then I found Fisher Wise, and everything changed. I could actually breathe again!Fisher was the only attorney who actually listened—truly listened—to the complex, emotionally draining situation I was facing involving my child. He didn’t rush me. He didn’t interrupt to push an agenda. He heard me out, and more importantly, he made me feel like what I was saying actually mattered. That matters more than I can explain—because this case is about my child, and that’s my entire world.Fisher’s compassion, professionalism, and knowledge of family law is unmatched. He brought calm to a storm I didn’t think anyone could help me navigate. And I can’t say enough about his paralegal, Tabitha Wilfong. She is an absolute rock—responsive, organized, and reassuring. Together, they are an unmatched powerhouse team.If you’re in the middle of a family law battle and you’re tired of being dismissed or feeling like just another case number, please, call Fisher Wise.

- Joshua York

Outstanding Attorney and Team

Fisher and Tabitha are amazing !! He was so thorough and really cared about our case ! I would most definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer. His office was great to work with and will do so in the future if any need arises.

- Deanna Thomas

Highly Recommend for Family Law

It was such a pleasure working with Fisher to resolve a nasty divorce case for my 82 year old father. He took the case on short notice after I had let the first attorney go because of not doing his job. It was a very complex case and took a lot of time figuring out which direction that we needed to go but in the end we came out on top. It was always easy to reach him and his office by phone or email and the communication was great. Tabitha was great to work with also as she was always very prompt with scheduling meetings with Fisher, Relaying messages, answering question's, and making you feel very comfortable. I felt like from the very beginning that they cared about us and the outcome of our situation. I was never pressured about the money or fee's and it was rarely mentioned. I would very highly recommend them and if I ever need another attorney in the state of Tennesse you can bet it will be Fisher Wise.
