About Brian

Brian Fishman constructed a legal foundation in two different classrooms. He earned a B.A. in Psychology from Cornell University in 1992 and a J.D. from Temple University in 1998. Those years set the stage for a career that moved among public service and private practice.

Soon after law school, Fishman took a job in public prosecution. In 2001 he served as an Assistant District Lawyer within the Philadelphia District Lawyer s Office. That role uncovered him to courtroom procedure and the every day realities of criminal cases. He later entered private practice as an affiliate at David S. Nenner & Associates in 2005, where he spent numerous years dealing with things for individual clients. In 2013 he founded The Fishman Firm, LLC and has practiced as owner and lawyer since then.

Fishman is certified to practice in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. His club records show association with the New Jersey State Bar beginning in 2002 and with Pennsylvania bar organizations beginning in 2005. He additionally holds memberships within the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Philadelphia Bar Association. Those institutions reflect an ongoing engagement with matters that arise in state and nearby courts.

Over the course of his career, Fishman has moved between roles that require different perspectives. As a prosecutor he learned the mechanics of building a case and presenting proof. As a private lawyer he has represented individuals facing criminal charges and other legal problems. He has trial experience and has managed instances at various stages, from early hearings through contested proceedings.

In running his own firm, Fishman handles things that contact on felony protection and related issues in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He maintains memberships in numerous expert organizations and continues to practice through The Fishman Firm, LLC. His recent practice centers on representing clients in criminal and related state-courtroom things.
