Extraordinary Person & Attorney

Attorney Patrick Tomasiwiecz is an extraordinary person and attorney. I have read numerous adjectives to describe Patrick - excellent, wonderful, amazing, professional, knowledgeable and understanding. They all aptly apply. Having worked in the legal field for over 35 years, I feel I have a un...ique and personal perspective of attorneys in general - from the other side of the fence so to speak - on just a slightly different level than an average client. At a moment in my life that was complicated and disorienting to say the very least, Patrick was a welcome light in that haze. He listened to us and managed to reestablish the faith I had in myself, by my realizing that my faith just needed to be not so much restored, but rather renewed. There's a difference. His intuitiveness and expertise allowed him to not only dictate a course of action from the very beginning, but articulate it in such a way that gave me the confidence in knowing that he was the right attorney for us at the right time. I would be remiss if I did not make mention of the firm's staff. Mary Dimock was exceptional in her knowledge, efficiency and capability. Attorney Greg Jones also deserves recognition as well for representing us, on occasion, in a friendly and professional manner. Everything accorded on our behalf was, and will always be, very much appreciated. If you are reading this and are in need of legal representation, I would absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend Fazzano & Tomasiewicz. Thank you all for everything. C&R W

Patrick Tomasiewicz Delivers Amazing Results

My son was charged with 8 felony counts and one misdemeanor ranging from assault, robbery, larceny, unlawful restraint, and conspiracy to commit. When we retained his firm, I was beyond concerned as to what the results would be and deeply upset that my son would serve significant time in prison. I my...self have significant experience with the legal field as I have worked as a paralegal for 13 years and have seen the results in cases defended by a number of attorneys for similar charges. Pat was extremely responsive to all of our calls, emails and texts when contacted. He kept us informed of the status every step of the way, and fought for my son with a passion for the law, diligence, and determination. Following his negotiations with prosecution, Pat called and told us he was able to negotiate 8 felony charges and 1 misdemeanor charge down to 1 felony charge, with all remaining charges being dropped, resulting in a sentence that required NO time be served, only probation. When my son and I received the call from Pat regarding the plea deal he negotiated with the State's Attorney's office, it brought me to tears and words can never express how grateful I am to Pat and his team. I highly recommend Pat to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, dedicated attorney who will fight for you.
