Ivan S. Fisher (born 1943) is a prominent New York criminal defense attorney. He represents white-collar clients and others targeted or charged in complex federal matters. In 1980, The New York Times listed him in the top five of criminal attorneys in New York City and in a separate article described him as "one of the nation’s most sought-after and highly paid criminal lawyers." The New Yorker has called him one of "Manhattan's leading attorneys." 〔http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/03/05/120305fa_fact_schmidle?currentPage=all〕 John Kroger, the former Attorney General of Oregon and current president of Reed College, called Fisher "one of the top defense attorneys in the nation...and without question a brilliant trial lawyer." Fisher has been the recipient of many honors including being invited to address the United States Second Circuit Federal Judicial Conference.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ivan Stephan Fisher, Attorney at Law )〕 As a young lawyer, Fisher represented the writer Jack Henry Abbott in a murder trial in what many call "the trial of the decade" and was counsel for Joseph Bonanno also known as "Joey Bananas", the boss of the Bonanno crime family.〔. (Abbott Is Guilty - TIME )〕 Another of his clients was Marie Luisi, a Senior Vice President at J.Walter Thompson, amid allegations relating to the alleged theft of $30 million〔(The Godmother - TIME )〕 and Lowell Birrell, an oil executive and financier in the largest white collar prosecution ever at the time. Fisher also represented Italian financier Michele Sindona, served as lead counsel in the Pizza Connection Trial, the longest federal criminal trial in US history and the French Connection Trial. On May 15, 1974, Fisher won a landmark decision in the Court of Appeals in the 2nd Circuit, United States vs. Toscanino, which in effect overruled Supreme Court rulings precluding American judicial review of foreign U.S. law enforcement conduct.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=United States v. Toscanino )〕 An immediate result of the decision was an order from then Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to every United States embassy in the world directing all American personnel to abstain from participation in torture. In recent years, Fisher secured the dismissal of the indictment alleging corruption and related offenses filed against Roy L. Schneider, M.D., the former governor of the United States Virgin Islands. He also won an acquittal at the trial of Demetrios Demetrios, who was alleged to have traded illegally with "black nations."〔http://tech.mit.edu/V115/N27/three.27w.html]〕 Fisher is also counsel to Haji Bashir Noorzai, whose prosecution and subsequent conviction by the U.S. government has raised significant issues involving United States foreign policy. In 2009, Fisher represented the General Counsel of a major telecommunications company on charges of stock options backdating. Fisher has been frequently profiled in major publications such as Time Magazine, The New York Times, The National Law Journal, and The New York Law Journal. He lectures frequently at leading universities including Yale Law School and Columbia Law School on criminal defense and is widely known as an expert on cross examination. Fisher is also regularly called on to give legal commentary on national television. In 2012 Fisher was suspended from New York federal courts for breach of fiduciary responsibility to a client. On March 14, 2013, the grievance committee of the United States District Court in Manhattan barred Fisher from practicing before that court, based on the committee's finding that Fisher had improperly kept money from a client that Fisher was supposed to use to repay a third party. He can still practice in the State of New York. Fisher attended the Horace Mann School, Syracuse University and Boston University School of Law. Early in his career he was a partner of Albert Krieger; Fisher formed his own practice in 1974. == Notable Clients == *Jack Henry Abbott *Alberto Vilar *Governor Roy Schneider *Norman Mailer〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Norman Mailer - A Tribute... )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Norman Mailer: A Double Life: J.
