John P Fazzio III

An attorney friend of mine referred me to John as my matter at hand fell into one of his specialty areas, and I’m so glad he did! John was welcoming, responsive, knowledgeable, thorough and fair. He got done in one day what could’ve dragged on, and introduced me to the members of his team who were each supportive. It was a pleasant and successful experience and I highly recommend you call him. Good luck!

John is amazing!!!!! I was involved in a very sensitive case where I was wrongly accused of very serious charges that were completely false. Given my job, I could not have any kind of criminal record or suggestion of improper conduct in my employment. John got me off of all of the charges and guided me through the process -- which had me extremely nervous -- in a way that allowed me to keep my sanity. John, Caitlin and his team mounted a great defense, but also were a friendly ear that gave me peace of mind during a trying season of my life.

Called John to see if he does property tax appeals in NJ and he gave me a referrals for someone that would better fit my needs. He also gave me great info and feedback on my situation. Straight talk.

After searching for an attorney we found Fazzio Law Offices and John P Fazzio. John and his entire staff were great to work with during our year long process. From listening to our desired outcome and outlining our plan John and his team accomplished our goal. Communicating with the firm was always timely and Catherine, Dan, Mike, John and 'the other John' helped keep our anxiety in check. I would highly recommend this firm.

After fighting with our mortgage company on our own for a few years to try to get a modification after some troubling financial times, they sued us for foreclosure. We had consulted with Mr. Fazzio and his associates the year before so we knew it was coming, but the bank had made us think we were close to a resolution. Nope, in reality they wanted our house. We hired Mr Fazzio and his firm to represent us and within record time they got us a long-sought modification offer and then guided us through it, even when the bank tried to play games by switching servicers a month into our trial period. We never could have handled the bank's underhanded games on our own. We were worried about the cost of legal representation but Mr Fazzio and his associates helped make it affordable for us with payments and very fair and transparent billing. They were also always available for help and answers and made an otherwise devastating event end well for us. With the help of Mr Fazzio, his attorney associate Mr Haghi, and office leaders Mike and Catherine we were able to save our home. Thank you so much, we will always be grateful to you. We highly recommend Mr Fazzio and his team to anyone in need of strong representation.

I was hit with a hefty tax fine for two tax years. One had merit and the other didn't. It was a complex situation involving partnerships, and international tax implications. When I opened the envelope from the IRS and saw the amount of the fine I panicked. We've all been there - an unexpected situation that blind-sides you and fills you with anxiety and doubt - the kind that shoots into your chest and then settles for the long term in the pit of your stomach. I didn't have the money to pay this and immediately sought John's help. John was available at the moment I needed him and took the call. He listened carefully to the situation and responded with specific yet disarming and comforting words. He conveyed confidence and listed out the next steps both he and I needed to complete. As if talking to a seasoned baseball coach, I left that phone conversation with a specific game plan of what I needed to do which was actually precious little compared to what he was doing behind the scenes. The shock was abated and replaced with something he specializes in - hope. Once he took my case, he went to work and work he did. Every step of the way I was given updates on what letters were drafted and sent out, what people he talked to and the responses. He shared copies of the letters he sent to the IRS which contained arguments cited with case law and precedent. I didn't always understand the exact content of the letters, but he explained anything I asked about. I was always kept in the loop and he took the time to explain the issues. When I had questions he made himself available. After he had submitted requests to remove the fine along with the rationale, I received a letter in the mail that looked like a confirmation of the original fine. Hope was snuffed out again. A quick panicky phone call to John and he immediately recognized that it was unrelated to the inquiry he had sent out - it was simply a reminder to pay the original fine that crossed paths in the mail with the resolution. Here's a guy who understands the mechanism behind how things work in the IRS and was able to respond to my specific needs as a result. In the end, he was able to clear me of all the penalties. Even then, he took the time to explain the resolution, what it meant, how to confirm the results, and what to do if future situations should occur. Finally, he took the time to help set me up so that the same situation doesn't occur in the future. It occurred to me that this sort of dedication and passion doesn't just come from talent or skill but from something else entirely - true passion and commitment to not just the case but to the client. We need more lawyers like John in the world. Don't pass up this opportunity - hire John today.

My father had delinquent FBARs going back many years as his accountant failed to file. He had a business, home, life and substantial assets overseas in his native country. We went to 3 different attorneys before we came here and not one suggested anything but to pay substantial penalties. John came up with unique approach and executed it most successfully. Fazzio Law Offices helped us come into full compliance and to avoid hundreds of thousands of dollars of FBAR penalties by taking a Treaty Position that our economic ties and center of vital interests (business, home, and social ties) were in other country and not the US and by filing delinquent FBARs through the Streamlined Process. Manny Zoquier handled our case and answered all of our questions, leadus us through the process each step of the way. Manny's work was excellent and he exceeded our expectations. I would recommend Fazzio Law Offices to anyone who has an FBAR issue or who is trying to make sure they are complying with all IRS requirements relating to foreign bank account reporting and reporting of foreign assets.

I've been through multiple lawyers over the past 6 years, including a few loan modification companies, and was struggling to modify my loan or find a positive result to save my mortgage. All that happened was I wasted a lot of money and never got a deal, until I found John Fazzio and Zubin Haghi and their Office Manager Mike Timpone. I'm really, really happy. I was shocked when in three months Fazzio Law Offices was able to get me a modification that got me back into good standing and saved me about $1,500 off what I was previously paying.

Trustworthy, dedicated, honest, and knowledgeable...what more could you ask for? John was the perfect lawyer and I'd highly recommend him to anyone.

FAZZIO LAW OFFICE. Where do I begin? I guess by saying "expect the unexpected" from this group. After 27 years of Banking in NYC working with tier one firms I was rather hesitant to engage a new relationship with a smaller lesser know firm. However, I needed anonymity, convenience, a personal touch and for the first time in my life I was on a budget. After interviewing approximately 10 firms with expertise in IRS/TAX and Foreclosure issues, it was clearly obvious that the Fazzio team was my team. Yes I was concerned about their size and ages.... But they proved out. Better then I could have ever expected. They literally saved my home, my marriage, my business and my sanity. I could never thank them enough. I will refer them blindly heretofore. Why? Five immediate reasons come to mind: 1. They appeared capable, professional, hungry and aggressive. 2. They were able to prioritize and personalize there efforts to attend to my issues and needs. (Each person joined this group because they had a personal experiences in the categories.) 3. Costs. We were able to structure a fair financial approach vs. what a larger more expensive Firm would have been able to do. 4. From my first phone call and follow up interview they were hands down the most honest and direct in their answers and I was pleasantly surprised they had the most experience in this area. 5. I was able to work intimately with the key executives of the firm who had sincere passions in the tax and foreclosure arenas due to their PERSONAL experiences. AKA. They could truly relate. Before I go on, should you ever want to reach me for a fair, independent opinion, feel free to email me and I will make my self available. Deeper review. I will try to keep this short.... But it is an earnest review and the Fazzio team truly exceeded all my expectations. Cost, speed, professionalism. outcome and a pleasure to work with. They were able to communicate to the tax people my horrific 3 year struggle and successfully negotiated a fair outcome for my family and I. Thus enabling us time rebuild which yielded us "peace of mind" for the first time in our daily lives. Better then what I could have ever hoped for. During my 2011 - 2014 personal crisis not only did we spend our savings in our PRIOR law suit, we also lost our income for a few years. It was in understanding that, that the Fazzio team stepped in and negotiated with our banks thus enabling us a way to maintain our home as we regather our business and time allows some private assets to mature. Thank you John, Mike, Manny et all. Your the best
