A God Sent Attorney

I had a most wonderful experiencewith Mr. Fazzio, What he did for me nothing else than a miracle. He is a God Sent person for me. I feel blessed to have him as my attorney to save me from the crisis. He is very compassionate, caring, dedciated as well as professionally upto the mark. He touched my he...art with his care and concern. I felt like I am dealing with a person who is a true wellwisher. God Bless him and give him more and more success.

Consultation with Anthony

I needed a lawyer who specializes in asset protection and business structure. I didn’t feel that he was a good fit for me. He didn’t like that I asked him a bunch of questions and I sort of got the vibe from him that “ don’t let me repeat and explain it to you again I can’t talk anymore if you wanna ...talk you need to pay cuz it’s free “ then I asked how much is the cost to talk he couldn’t even tell me. I got the impression that he was not knowledgeable enough to help me and I don’t wanna work with a lawyer like him. Maybe they are good when you have law suits.

Ongoing alimony issues

When I first contacted John Fazzio I was pretty much at my wits end. I had been dealing with numerous alimony issues for close to 10 years with no end in sight. John took the time to address all of my concerns and put my mind at ease. For the first time I felt like someone truly had my back and I cou...ld trust that I was in good hands. Even though I didn’t get everything I wanted the overall outcome was a positive one. Although I hope never to need any legal assistance again, if I do I will be most definitely be reaching out to Mr. Fazzio and his team.

Absolute Best Results

For what the case was, John Fazzio and his team got the absolute best results. Literally the absolute best results. They were prompt, professional, and willing to fight for the case. I was in a very sensitive situation, and I had the assurance that all will be ok because of how they navigated the ...case. In a spectrum of the worst possible result to the absolute best result. I literally got the absolute best result that I could imagine. I would highly recommend this team and John Fazzio to get the job done.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
