Jay M. Fisher

Jay Fisher founded Jay M. Fisher, P.A. in January 1996 with the goal of providing excellent service and achieving the best possible outcome for his clients through dedication and commitment to those he represents. Jay prides himself on his ability to place his clients' interests above all others, including his own. He has developed a reputation for serving as an aggressive advocate for his clients while maintaining a sense of integrity that is beyond reproach.

Jay began his career practicing transactional law and general civil litigation. His general civil litigation practice involved primarily business and commercial litigation, which lacked the human element. Jay wanted to represent people, rather than businesses, which felt impersonal to him. Consequently, he sought a career that would allow him to represent people, rather than companies. In March of 1992, Jay joined Parrish, Bailey & Morsch, P.A., a full-service plaintiffs' firm, which permitted Jay to gain valuable experience in handling a wide variety of personal injury and wrongful death claims. Additionally, Jay commenced a workers' compensation practice at the law firm to complement the firm's other practice areas. Jay has practiced exclusively in the areas of personal injury, wrongful death and workers' compensation since March of 1992.

Jay graduated from Duke University in 1990 with a Juris Doctorate degree. He attended undergraduate studies at Emory University from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting. While attending law school at Duke, he was elected to serve as Treasurer of the Duke Bar Association, which was reflective of the trust that his law school peers held in him.

Jay is currently a member of the Florida Bar Association, the Orange County Bar Association, the Florida Justice Association (formerly known as the Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers), and the American Association for Justice (formerly known as the Association of Trial Lawyers of America). Jay is also a member of the Trial Lawyers Section and the Workers' Compensation Section of the Florida Bar Association. Jay is admitted to practice law in all state courts throughout Florida, and the Federal District Court for the Middle District of Florida.

Jay enjoys contributing to organizations such as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the National Brain Tumor Society, and the Congregation of Reform Judaism. Jay has dedicated more than seven years of volunteer service to the Congregation of Reform Judaism, by serving as Chairperson of the Budget and Finance Committee and as a member of the Board of Directors.

Outside of the practice of law, Jay is an avid sports fan and pursues his sports interests as President of MJ Sports Management, an athlete representation firm specializing in the representation of NFL athletes as an NFLPA Certified Contract Advisor. However, Jay finds the most joy spending time with his wife, Wendy, and their two sons, Scott and Jack.
