Joanne Fanizza

I am a dual-licensed lawyer (New York and Florida), and practice actively in both states.  My primary office is on Long Island, in Melville near the Nassau-Suffolk County border.  My secondary office is in Fort Lauderdale, which I called home for 35 years until 2007.

Although considered a "general practice", my work focuses on estate planning and administration, elder law, real estate, small business and litigation.  I also have a specialty in Constitutional Law, which stems from my first career as a newspaper reporter.  I was a media lawyer for 7 years, and continue to keep up with First Amendment and other civil rights law. 

I love what I do, helping clients achieve their legal goals with the least amount of stress possible and at a reasonable cost.  In turn, my clients come back and refer their friends and loved ones to me.  My colleagues also refer many legal matters to me, and I reciprocate the professional courtesy.  I couldn't ask for more!
