Why choose Fisher Dore Lawyers?
We understand that making a choice between lawyers can be a difficult task especially when so much is often at stake.
Law firms all seem to be saying the same thing, especially when it comes to expertise, so we won’t make matters more confusing we will simply say four things:
Our expertise goes back to 1972
Very few firms have people still working on cases that have that level of experience. This is rare and precious, especially when your life is at risk of being negatively impacted by the law. You want people who have been doing it for this long to be fighting for you and guiding your matter.
We win more appeals than any other firm
To win an appeal you must satisfy very stringent legal criteria, essentially proving that a mistake was made. This is not easy to do and only the very best legal minds can pin point mistakes and then convince the court that a mistake was made and that the outcome should be different. Often our appeals result in vastly better outcomes for our clients. Our experience in appeal matters goes back to 1984.
We win more legal awards than any other firm
People will have different views on awards, our view is that it’s not important to be given lots of awards but it’s important to do work that is good enough to win them. In 10 years we have won 22 awards and been recognised as leaders in this field. You want the best people on your side and these recognitions speak for themselves.
We have independently accredited experts
Anyone can claim to be an expert but the governing body of lawyers in Queensland has certified 5 of our lawyers as accredited specialists in their field. This is the highest level of accreditation available.

Dont take our word for it, here’s what our clients have had to say...
Michael Finch provided outstanding legal support throughout my matter. His professionalism, clear communication, and strategic expertise ensured the best possible outcome. Michael handled every step with calm confidence and integrity, offering reassurance and clarity during a very stressful time. I’m deeply grateful for his dedication and highly recommend him to anyone needing strong, ethical, and effective representation.
Micheal was informative and transparent through the whole process, getting the best result available to me. In the unfortunate event of needing representation again, I would not hesitate to call him.
Outstanding service and outcome. A no nonsense approach that led to a successful outcome in an extremely stressful situation when the odds were against me for false allegations
I have dealt with Terry Fisher, Nick Dore and Tom Gardiner and have the highest regard for all of them, and their support staff. This is an extremely professional law firm, and definitely not one of those firms who try to convince clients to plead guilty so they can turn them over quickly. They don’t mince words, they tell you exactly how it is, and value your options. Very supportive, friendly and professional. Highly recommended.
Cant thank Michael Finch enough. Was passionate and understanding throughout my case. Highly recommended
I am so thankful to Tom for their fantastic representation. I knew I had engaged a top class team – they offered great communication, professionalism, ability and understanding. They won my case. I’m very impressed.
Antoinette’s compassion, knowledge and professionalism guided me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Her expert approach provided me with the best possible outcome. I couldn’t be more grateful.
Just a big thank you for your help. It was a great result and I thank you and Tanya for making the process an easy and positive one.
From the first meeting with Sean he was very professional and upfront. He was thorough and explained things in great detail. All my dealings with him were simple and helpful, overall a great experience. I would highly recommend Sean.
Very helpful and professional. Highly recommend.
