DOES SAM FISHER REPRESENTING THE FOLLOWING FELONS DISQUALIFY HIM FROM SERVING ON THE LEE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD?  

Editorial

Sam Fisher dedicated a good portion of his legal career representing and advocating for drug dealers, child abusers, burglars, and other violent felons.   As mentioned in an earlier editorial, Fisher asked a Court to abolish a Florida Statute used by law enforcement to fight gang violence.  Fisher’s motion to abolish the Florida anti-gang statute was fortunately denied.   The question to the voters remains, does Sam Fisher’s extensive work representing dangerous felons an issue with Fisher’s desire to serve on the Lee County School board?  This is an issue for the voters to decide.   The following is a partial list of felony criminal clients Sam Fisher represented in Lee County Circuit Court.
