About Fisher Family Law & Mediation and
Christy Fisher, J.D.

Legal depth, calm guidance, and a commitment to better outcomes.

When families face their most difficult moments, they deserve an attorney who brings both the strength of more than 20 years of legal experience and the perspective to know that not every conflict belongs in a courtroom. Christy Fisher, J.D., has built her career helping families navigate complex legal challenges with clarity, strategy, and respect.

A graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor of Arts, and the University of Notre Dame Law School, Christy Fisher, J.D., has handled some of Florida’s most complex and high-stakes family and child welfare matters. Her background spans courtroom litigation, appellate advocacy, child welfare law, and organizational leadership — giving her a comprehensive and highly experienced perspective on family law matters.

Additionally, as the spouse of an active-duty service member, Christy Fisher brings personal insight into the unique challenges military families face and provides experienced guidance in military divorce matters.

After years of witnessing the emotional and financial cost of adversarial litigation, Christy Fisher made mediation and collaborative divorce the foundation of her practice, Fisher Family Law & Mediation. She helps clients resolve conflict with structure, respect, and a focus on long-term outcomes rather than short-term wins.

Clients describe Christy Fisher as steady, direct, and genuinely invested in their well-being. She takes the time to understand each family’s unique dynamics and builds a strategy tailored to their goals — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
