It’s important for people to know and understand that I have been a client for three years now. I have more knowledge than most

Dear Mr. Fiore, I am writing to formally express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding legal representation you provided in my workers’ compensation matter. Although I was initially hesitant when choosing legal counsel, it quickly became clear that I had made the right decision. Your reputat...ion as a first class, highly intelligent, and approachable attorney was fully reflected in every aspect of your work. Workers’ compensation law is an area marked by procedural complexity and persistent challenges. Your extensive knowledge of this field and your ability to navigate its intricacies with precision were instrumental in the successful resolution of my claim. You approached each phase of the case with thoughtful analysis, strategic judgment, and careful attention to detail, ensuring that every step was handled with purpose and clarity. Equally deserving of recognition is your exceptional team. Your staff consistently demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care. Phil, your paralegal, was meticulous and dependable, ensuring that all documentation and communications were handled efficiently. Cassidy, Stephanie, and Vincent each contributed meaningfully through their attentiveness, organization, and support, creating a cohesive and highly effective office environment. Their collective efforts greatly enhanced my experience and confidence throughout the process. You and your team exceeded all expectations of legal counsel. The resolution you achieved has provided both closure and a renewed sense of security, allowing me to move forward with confidence. Please accept my deepest thanks for your dedication, professionalism, and exceptional service. I hold you and your staff in the highest regard and would not hesitate to offer my strongest recommendation to anyone seeking outstanding legal representation. With sincere appreciation and respect, Sincerely, Elizabeth Chimienti I was honestly taken aback by some of the negative reviews regarding Fanning & Fiore, as they are simply not accurate. In my experience, both attorneys Douglas Fanning and John Fiore are true professionals. I have worked more closely with John Fiore, and he is nothing short of exceptional. He is highly knowledgeable, professional, and consistently takes the time to clearly explain every detail while addressing questions thoroughly and respectfully. The staff at Fanning & Fiore are outstanding. I have worked directly with Phil, Cassidy, Stephanie, and Vincent, and every interaction has been prompt, professional, and supportive. This firm operates efficiently and treats its clients with genuine respect. After reading several of the negative reviews more closely, it became clear that many were misguided and rooted in misunderstandings of the legal process rather than any failure on the part of the firm. Legal matters are complex, and frustration does not equate to incompetence. Based on my firsthand experience, Fanning & Fiore are a serious, capable, and trustworthy law firm. I have full confidence in their work and would strongly recommend their services without hesitation. Sincerely, Elizabeth Chimienti

Keep searching ... do not hire this firm

I'm not the kind of person to write a review normally but I felt compelled to do so this time. The office staff is completely incompetent. They called me to tell me my surgery was approved two months after I had already had surgery, and they never return phone calls. At that point realizing the leve...l of incompetence that I was dealing with I gave my secondary case to another attorney but kept this firm on for my Worker's Compensation case because you can't just dismiss an attorney for workers Comp... the judge has to do it. It's my personal opinion that from that point they maliciously prolonged my case. Again never returning phone calls, never retrieved documents from doctors, and three days before my hearing told me that I needed to get a updated report from my doctor. They lied to me and told me I could not appear in person for my hearing and could only do it online. The day of the workers Comp hearing I had the judge dismiss them as my council but he stayed on the video screen to the end to make sure they got paid. So congratulations fanning and fiore.....You got paid for doing absolutely nothing while I'm going to suffer the rest of my life with a permanent injury. If you are considering retaining them as council be prepared for lots of dissatisfaction and disappointment .

Great attorneys, Treated Me Like Family

John Fiore and Doug Fanning are great. I had a large workers compensation claim, which I originally hired another attorney for. However, the other firm was so busy that they put no effort into my case and it lingered with them for nearly two years. Mr. Fiore took over the case, at no additional c...ost to me, and resolved it in less than two months! Beyond that he explained every step to me, always responded to my calls and made me feel like a family member with the personal treatment I received. I highly recommend Fiore and Fanning.
