Criminal Defense Attorney Humbled by Conviction, Sentenced to 15 Years

Nov 02 2015
Posted By:

He was a flamboyant criminal defense attorney, well- known in the state criminal courts in Harris County for his courtroom theatrics and his contentious, often contemptuous, demeanor before the trial judges presiding over the cases he was defending.

By many accounts, he had the ability to be both an effective and successful advocate.

Committing Crimes Against His Clients

But Abraham Moses Fisch had a growing problem: he became so contemptuous of the legal system over the years that lying, deceiving, and committing crimes against his own clients became, somehow, a rational choice. Whatever the reasons, his criminal behavior would both tarnish his personal reputation and threaten to undermine the integrity of the legal system we have fought to maintain.

This past May, Fisch was convicted on 18 counts of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, money laundering, conspiracy to commit money laundering and failure to file tax returns. It took the jury 14 hours of deliberations to convict him after a 15-day trial.

Attorney Guaranteed Dismissals

According to the government, Fisch, along with a former Houston used car financier named Lloyd Glen Williams, was involved in a scheme to defraud his clients, who were criminal defendants, and their families, with promises of successful results in their cases. The government press release issued following Fisch’s conviction said the two men “conspired to defraud defendants who were facing federal criminal charges in Houston.” The government added that the fraud was “perpetrated in at least four different federal criminal cases pending in Houston …”

In exchange for what the government called “exorbitant fees,” prosecutors argued that Fisch told the clients and their family members that Williams had “government contacts” in Washington, D.C., who could guarantee dismissal of their criminal cases. According to prosecutors, the clients and their families shelled out millions of dollars in attorney fees believing Fisch, through Williams, had contacts at the CIA, FBI, Department of Justice, and Medicare who could help them—none of which was true.

15 Years in Prison and Forfeiture of 1.2 Million

On October 27, a federal district court judge sentenced Fisch to serve 15 years in a federal prison and ordered forfeiture of nearly $1.2 million, the disgraced attorney told the sentencing judge that the criminal case “one of the most humbling experiences of my life.”

After pleading for voluntary surrender, Fisch was unceremoniously taken into custody for his trip to a federal prison facility.

State Bar Next

So what happens now to Mr. Fisch? Will the federal conviction lead to disbarment by the State Bar of Texas?

While attorneys involved in drug addiction and related crimes often get a second chance, attorneys involved in serious felonies involving fraud, dishonesty or deceit are usually disbarred.

Given the nature of the crimes of conviction and the fact that they committed upon his clients, Fisch will most likely be disbarred, unless he surrenders his license while the disciplinary action is pending.

And that is how it should be.

Mr. Fisch engaged in conduct he knew was criminal against his clients. This conduct put his personal financial interest above that of his clients, who he owed his highest duty. He violated the most essential element of the attorney client relationship, that of loyalty to his clients.

Serious Felonies Lead to Disbarment

Houston television station KHOU reported in 2011 that “Attorneys in Texas who snort drugs, flee from police, even offer to trade their legal services for sex [can] still keep their Texas State Bar law license. These are some of the findings of the KHOU-TV 11 News I-Team after analyzing records from various criminal courts along with documents from the Texas State Bar.” This may be true for misdemeanors and felonies for which plea bargains are struck for deferred adjudication probation, where there is no final finding of guilt, but disbarment is generally mandatory for serious felonies upon final conviction.

In fact, the Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure require disbarment for “intentional crimes,” defined as serious crimes that require proof of knowledge or intent as an essential element.

On September 28, 2015, Ernst Mitchell “Mitch” Martzen, writing in the Dallas Bar Journal, called attention to statistics from the Texas Bar Journal (TBJ) between 2007-2011 showing that there were “100 significant cases of attorney discipline resulting from criminal behavior” by Texas attorneys. Most of the criminal behavior involved white collar crime such as “fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, tax evasion or theft.” Interestingly, Martzen noted that the average profile of the attorneys involved in this criminal behavior was a 52-year-old white male who received a prison term from 5 to 7 years.

Slightly more than half of the attorney cases that led to discipline were prosecuted in state courts while the rest, like Fisch, were prosecuted in federal courts. Federal convictions over this time period led to 50 of the attorneys being disciplined, according to the Martzen’s examination of the TBJ.

Federal Crimes Taken Seriously By Bar

However, attorneys prosecuted at the federal level were punished far more severely. As Martzen explained:

“Over half of all attorney crimes involved dishonesty, such as fraud, tax evasion, forgery or theft of fiduciary property. These offenses are taken very seriously, and nearly every attorney convicted of such crimes ultimately resigned from the bar or was disbarred…”

What’s Good for the Goose…

We have written here much about prosecutorial misconduct, much of it involving conduct that should be classified as criminal behavior by prosecutors against criminal defendants. We have exhaustively pointed out that prosecutors who commit this insidious type of wrongdoing are rarely charged with a crime, forced to answer a disciplinary action or subjected to any civil liability. However, private attorneys who commit crimes against either their clients or the public at large will, more often than not, be indicted, convicted, and disbarred.

Saying this does not mean we minimize Abraham Fisch’s criminal behavior. Given the crimes of his conviction, this attorney deserves both criminal and disciplinary sanctions. His behavior stained the reputation of all attorneys, especially criminal defense attorneys, and reinforces the suspicious attitude of the public about our institutions of justice.

Attorneys Must Maintain the Highest Standards of Conduct

The Abraham Moses Fisch case demonstrates something that criminal defense attorneys know far too well; that the human condition is a frail one and that attorneys who do not adhere to the highest standards of ethical conduct often find themselves on the slippery slope towards professional and personal ruin.

This is a difficult blog to write. Abraham Fisch was a fellow criminal defense lawyer and, as fellow criminal defense lawyers who fight against prosecutors every day, we all cringe at the prospect of one of our own being prosecuted by “other side.” But, what Mr. Fisch was convicted of offends us more than our natural self protection of our own kind. He betrayed and defrauded his own clients, criminal defendants who were facing years in federal prison and were desperate to find a way out of a life shattering situation. We rail at the government when they abuse criminal defendants and would be intellectually dishonest to ignore Mr. Fisch’s insult upon our professional calling.

While we are disgusted with Mr. Fisch’s conduct, our job, as criminal defense attorneys, is not to judge but stay true to our duty to defend those who find themselves in the cross-hairs of the government. We will let juries judge human failures. However, we will continue to demand that both prosecutors and defense lawyers be held to the highest professional standards, because doing less threatens the lives and liberty of those we have sworn to serve.

    If you have hired attorneys that meet the Webster dictionary definition, ie: "Attorney " is a person that has a law degree, will not be totally honest, can take your money … More and not earn it, will put you off until he is ready to talk to you, and/or never study your case to be able to defend you. Mr. Floyd is the only attorney that doesn't fit that definition!! You will be delighted to have Mr. John Floyd in your corner! Not one attorney that I have ever met that would ever return a check that I sent to him, because he said I paid him too much! Wow! That right there should tell you something about his integrity!!!!! He has a very calm demeanor and doesn't stretch the truth even if you don't want to hear it, he will tell you the truth. Call and set up an appointment with him and judge for yourself. You are wasting time and money on any other attorney, just hire the best, Mr. Floyd.

    John is an amazing person and lawyer who is actually very understanding of how anxious I got and although it was hard to reach him sometimes because of his schedule, but never worry … More he is on top of things. He is very organized, very smart. I had the experience to go through a trial with him, and he always plans ahead well and is actually open and receptive to any ideas and comments I had and he was quick to decide which is right to use at the moment. I really appreciated working with him and Chris. Great lawyers and great people. As I was reminded by John, I am adding that the Jury reached a not guilty decision on the original charge and on a lesser charge in just 25 minutes. It took more time to write the charge and instructions for the jury than it took them to reach a decision.

    I give Mr. Floyd 10 Stars if they were available so I'm giving him five that's all that's available. The first time I left a message for him it was on a Friday after … More 5 p.m. and within 15 minutes he called me back I told him I needed to buy a lotto ticket because that has never happened. I knew from our chat and him calling me back that he was different from any attorney I've tried to talk to left messages never got called back they didn't even know what I needed and neither did Mr. Floyd but he did call me back. I was very interested in meeting with mr. Floyd about my case because I felt he was very transparent honest and genuine. If you've ever dealt with attorneys they don't have those traits but Mr. Floyd does. He was very honest with me told me what I could and could not do with my case. He is not egotistical he's very compassionate and he actually reads the documents you sent him unbelievable that's never happened. He will be the only lawyer I refer to anyone that needs his expertise. If you're in need of a criminal defense attorney please give John T Floyd a call you will not be disappointed.

  • Avatar Andrew Vo ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    John represented me in court for roughly 2 years. I won't (and shouldn't) get into any serious details, but let me tell you that I couldn't have chosen anyone better. … More Seriously.Every appearance in court I felt very comfortable. The judge and DA's had a high regard for his reputation. There is a time I recall where simply his presence greatly impacted the court's interpretation of my case and persons. We were in front of the stand and the judge could not stop talking about John's prestige and past accomplishments and how that took in relation to my case. I kept silent in front of the judge, but I observed then that John's popularity and reputation within the court had already given me a better looking rapport with the judge. Let me tell you, I never had more confidence then, knowing that the judge held him in such high regard.This is not to mention how personable John is. I'll be honest that during the stress of court, sharing a laugh with your lawyer helps a lot. This may sound a lot, but I really appreciated the relationship we had then. This is also not to mention that he was able to deal very well with any DA that rotated over the years. Seriously, John was great, prompt with information and very hands on with my case. I had great peace those 2 years until everything wrapped up.If you're looking for a lawyer, I highly, HIGHLY recommend the John T. Floyd Law Firm. He IS nationally renowned, you know. He'll get the job done to the utmost confidence. He's very experienced and has a great record to boot. I am glad to have had him represent me in court and trust me that I never thought I'd ever say that (and whoever does?). We explored every avenue of victory together and I personally enjoyed the experience, despite the seriousness of the accusation.If you have a case that needs to be represented at the highest levels, choose John T. Floyd. He's a good man and very good at what he does. Him and his team has the experience you need to make the best decisions and options to get the best outcome for your case. We got the best result I could possibly ask for, thank God.Seriously. Hire John. He knows what he's doing.Seriously.
