About Andrew R.
Andrew R. Fischer earned his J.D. from Suffolk University Law School in 2009 and is licensed to practice in New Jersey. He came to the law through a traditional route: law school, then courtroom exposure, followed by private practice. The timeline of his early professional life shows an emphasis on family court work and alternative dispute resolution.
After law school, Fischer served as a law clerk in the Family Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey in 2012. That year in the courthouse gave him close, day-to-day experience with how family matters proceed through the court system. The clerkship placed him beside judges and court staff during hearings and case management, and it informed his approach to procedure and pleading.
In 2013 he joined the Law Office of Steven A. Monaghan as an associate lawyer. His time there added private practice experience to the foundation he had built at the courthouse. He handled client matters, appeared in hearings, and managed aspects of case preparation. That combination of public and private roles shaped his later decision to open his own practice.
Fischer expanded his skills in mediation and conciliatory techniques. He completed the New Jersey Association of Professional Mediators’ 40-Hour Divorce Mediation training. He also holds certification in Mediation and Conciliation Skills through the Administrative Office of the Courts. Those credentials allow him to work in mediation settings and assist parties who prefer negotiated resolutions over contested litigation.
He maintains professional ties in the region. Fischer is a member of the Monmouth County Bar Association and the New Jersey Association for Professional Mediators. He has been involved with the Monmouth-Ocean Family Inns of Court since 2012. Those memberships keep him engaged with fellow practitioners and the local bench.
Fischer now operates the Law Office of Andrew R. Fischer. He handles matters that arise in New Jersey family courts and conducts mediation sessions for divorcing couples and separating partners. He continues to combine courtroom experience, clerking background, and formal mediation training in his daily practice. He currently practices family law and mediation in New Jersey.
