Growing up in Charlotte, North Carolina I learned to focus my energy on finding a solution rather than worrying about the problem. This mindset inevitably led me to my profession as an attorney.. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a business degree in Economics. I immediately began work in the financial field helping people navigate the world of small business loans. The following year I received the Fourth Ward Scholarship to attend Charlotte School of Law. While attending Charlotte School of Law I had the opportunity to gain valuable experience through internships with the Mecklenburg County Public Defender’s Office, the Law Offices of C. Reid Beaver, and Legal Aid of North Carolina.. Upon graduating from Charlotte School of Law and passing the North Carolina State Bar Exam, Nicki Fisher and I began working together. We started Fisher Law Group with the goal to create a law firm that focused on the clients in and out of the courtroom. I have limited my representation to Family Law, Juvenile Law, and Criminal Law. This allows me to consistently partner with my clients to ensure that we focus on solutions instead of the problems.

319 South Sharon Amity Road , Charlotte , North Carolina 28211

Practice Areas: Family

I work with my clients to help their families avoid litigation and to find the best possible solution for that client's particular situation.  I believe litigation is not an ideal solution for family law problems, because it discourages open truth-telling and encourages hostility and polarization.  Also, litigation is usually costlier and more time consuming than when parites use collaborative methods to resolve their differences.  The benefits of Collaborative family law methods are that the parties share information and work together to find areas of commonality and solutions that will benefit the whole family.  When parties use collaborative methods, the parties dictate the timing, not the courts, and the process is private.. I also work with parents in high conflict custody situations to decrease the hostility and to help those parents effectively co-parent their children. This type of work is know as Parent Coordination.  I am a certified Parent Coordinator.

"When I was asked to describe my practice philosophy I sat down and wrote, and then rewrote, my answer. Over and over again. I struggled to put into words why I am a family law attorney and how I approach family law cases. No matter how eloquently I tried to put it, I kept coming back to these simple words: I really care about my clients and I want to help them. It sounds corny even as I write it now. But, it really does come down to that. There is no magical formula or high browed reasoning behind it. Quite the opposite, I think people either like what they do for a living or they don’t. I do.. You see, I really never chose to be a family law attorney, family law chose me. When I graduated from law school I was not sure what type of law I wanted to practice, but I knew it was not family law. I could not imagine being embroiled every day with squabbling husbands and wives airing their dirty laundry in the courts. There was more power and prestige in other areas of law, I thought. This was my jaded and uninformed opinion for the first years of my professional life as I dabbled in these supposedly more attractive areas of the law. It was not until I was forced to take over a few family law cases for another attorney in my firm who went out on leave that my prejudices collided with the realities of the needs of my clients. For the first time in my legal career, someone actually needed my help and I could make a difference in that person’s life.. As I grow older and have gained a family of my own, I believe I have developed a greater sense of what my clients must go through when faced with Divorce and Custody problems. We are taught to work hard in this country to build a life for ourselves, to give to our community, to have a family, and to plan for our future. However, no one tells us what to do when that American dream falls apart. Before I was married, and even after I became married but had no children, I could sympathize with my clients and their struggles but there was a limit to my understanding. Now that I am a father of two small children trying to make smart financial plans for my family’s future and have been practicing for twenty years, I empathize with my clients because I understand what they are going through and can imagine the loss I would feel if someone told me that all I had worked for and dreamed of could be taken from me because of separation and divorce.. So two decades later, my practice philosophy has deepened and expanded. Not only do I help my clients and care for them but I can better relate to their loss and help them find their way through this mess while focusing on what I know is most important to them. My life experiences combined with the opportunity to help hundreds of clients lets me be the lawyer I want to be and who I would want to hire if I was in the midst of a separation or custody dispute.”

“Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family.” - Anthony Brandt. Born in England, raised in North Carolina, and coming from a Persian background, I have always considered my ability to relate to people from all walks of life to be one of my greatest assets. I chose a career in family law because it allows me to work one-on-one with clients, helping them through some of life’s most difficult and stressful times.. Throughout my professional career, I have learned no two cases are the same but many client experiences can be traumatic and devastating. I take time to understand each client individually to find the best resolution for your situation. To me, it is important to find the positive light in the midst of confusion and uncertainty, whether it is bringing families together or helping them resolve issues to move on with their lives in order to have a new beginning. I want to help my clients become empowered to protect their rights during a challenging experience.. I am licensed to practice law in North Carolina and am an active member of the Union County Bar Association, Mecklenburg Bar Association, the Family Law and Young Lawyer’s Divisions of the North Carolina Bar Association, the Young Lawyer’s Division of the American Bar Association, and the North Carolina Association of Women Attorney’s.
