A disbarred West Palm Beach lawyer once arrested while partying in a James Bond getup was nabbed again.
This time, he was picked up by Michigan cops on a Palm Beach County warrant.
Brook Fisher, 46, was wanted on two counts of fraud for allegedly stealing clients’ money in his trust funds.
Palm Beach County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Teri Barbera confirmed the existence of an active arrest warrant against Fisher, but the paperwork won’t be released to the public until Fisher, who’s being extradited, is booked.
I’m told by sources that Fisher, wife Marcella, their three little kids and two giant poodles took off late last year in a 1950s-style camper pulled by a black GMC Yukon. The trip took them to a lakeside cabin in the sparsely-populated Grand Traverse County. That’s where he was picked up by the Michigan State Police a week ago.

Steve Sessa, another West Palm Beach lawyer who represents some of Fisher’s victims, told Page2Live that Fisher waved extradition.
Shackled and wearing an orange jump suit, Fisher is being moved south from prison to prison. He may not get here until the end of the month because the vans or buses used to transport inmates makes frequent stops and only runs from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Sessa said Fisher may owe former clients as much as half a million bucks, mostly from judgments, settlements and real estate transactions.
Fisher was disbarred last summer, shortly before the fraud charges were filed.
The disgraced attorney first came onto Page2Live’s radar in 2007 after he was stopped by Palm Beach Police on suspicion of DUI. He had visited several watering-holes dressed in a tux, with two guns in shoulder holsters and a five-inch knife in the small of his back. Fisher told cops he was trying to rekindle that romantic spark with Marcella, a fan of Casino Royale, a James Bond movie.
Why are so many lawyers and cops and judges involved in crimes now?
(These people he allegedly stole from will never get all their stolen money back.)
If your a Criminal at PBSO, at least they just put you on PAID VACATION while they INVESTIGATE for a year or two….at our expense!
The Florida Bar NEVER acts substantively, it seems, on complaints against lawyers, until after the crimes are all done and public.
Try filing a bar complaint against a lawyer that committs a crime against you…..nothing will happen, they will just push paper and then do nothing…and oh yeah, the complaint remains “confidential” so no other client suckers can find out about that lawyers history.
Craziness. The criminals are running the legal system now.
Probably why they call it the “Criminal Justice” system.
Jose… this is boring! Another attorney gets into trouble…? C’MON give us something fresh and tasty… can we get some tiger woods sip sip? Or pehaps you could dazzle and blind us with piece on one of the Kardashian’s.
I totally want to see a picture of him in that orange jumpsuit. I’m sure it suits him well.
Brook Fisher is very corrupt and bad man!!!
He is a bad apple!!!!!!
If you trust any lawyer with your money you are a fool.Crime does pay.
