Before sitting for the bar, Robert Fischer spent years studying how cities grow — earning both a J.D. from the University of Denver College of Law and a Master of Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Colorado in 1997, a dual academic grounding that gives him a working understanding of zoning, entitlements, and land use that most commercial real estate attorneys simply do not have.
Overview
Fischer Law Office is a commercial real estate law practice in Denver, Colorado, founded and operated by principal attorney Robert S. Fischer. The firm concentrates almost entirely on commercial real estate: site selection, transactional due diligence, lease representation, title and title insurance, easements, zoning and entitlements, and construction-related documentation. The firm serves clients in the Denver metropolitan area and across the Colorado Front Range, including Englewood, Aurora, Littleton, Wheat Ridge, and areas in Adams, Arapahoe, and Denver counties.
The practice was built on two foundations that Fischer assembled before launching his own firm: his academic training in both law and urban planning, and his years working in real estate departments at major Denver law firms. That background produced an attorney who can read a zoning code as fluidly as a lease and advise on entitlement risk with the same facility as transactional structure.
Robert Fischer holds a Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating as of 2025, the highest designation available through that rating system, reflecting strong peer assessment of both legal ability and professional conduct. He is a member of the Colorado Bar Association.
The firm’s office is located in Denver at 3900 E. Mexico Ave., Suite 300 — a suite address in a professional district south of downtown.
Practice Areas
Commercial Real Estate Transactions. The firm’s primary focus is commercial real estate: the purchase and sale of office, retail, medical, and industrial properties, as well as the documentation and due diligence that support those transactions. Fischer represents buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants, giving him a broad view of how transactions look from each position.
Commercial Lease Representation. Fischer handles lease negotiation and documentation for commercial landlords and tenants. His background representing both sides means he understands the leverage points and typical concessions on each.
Land Use and Zoning. This is where Fischer’s planning education is most directly applicable. He advises on zoning compliance, entitlements, variances, and the regulatory landscape that governs what can be built on a given parcel. His 1997 award from the Colorado Chapter of the American Planning Association and his membership in the American Planning Association reflect a professional engagement with land use that exceeds what is typical in a transactional law practice.
Site Selection Analysis. For clients acquiring property for a specific commercial use, Fischer conducts due diligence on whether a proposed site can legally and practically accommodate that use — zoning compliance, access, utility availability, and regulatory risk.
Title Review and Title Insurance. Fischer reviews title commitments and advises clients on title defects, exceptions, and coverage. He handles title insurance matters as part of real estate transactions.
Easements and Restrictive Covenants. The firm advises on access easements, utility easements, shared maintenance obligations, and the covenants and restrictions that run with commercial property.
Real Estate Due Diligence. Fischer coordinates the due diligence review process for commercial acquisitions, including title, survey, zoning, environmental review (at the advisory level), and lease review.
Residential Real Estate. While commercial real estate is the firm’s primary focus, Fischer also handles residential real estate transactions.
Construction Transactions. The firm reviews and advises on construction contracts and lending documentation for development projects.
