John P Fazzio III

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 clo...se 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 sit...uation 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 u...p 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.
