I hired Jennifer Fazio to complete a child support modification once my oldest child reached emancipation. Jennifer was very helpful in identifying reduction for college rent that I had been paying but not deducting from the child support payments for many years. She also efficiently processed all paperwork to the court and did not over bill or waste expensive billable time. Jennifer is honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy and strongly recommend her services.
I cannot recommend Jennifer strongly enough. I had a very difficult post-divorce situation best described as a series of lose-lose decisions. I had been maneuvered into a painful and seemingly unresolvable situation with my three children. Jennifer heard me out and condensed my concerns into a masterful legal motion. Her work prompted positive court action and a settlement that leaves the door open for healing.
Jennifer listens carefully, reflects her honest opinion, and advises what can be realistically accomplished given the law and practical circumstances. She is assertive without being abrasive and leaves no doubt that she is on your side.
Jennifer Fazio is a credit to her profession. I could not imagine working with anyone else.

Highly Recommended
If you are looking for someone to give you top-notch advice and guidance through your divorce, please consider Jennifer Fazio. She is with you every step of the way and does not leave any of your questions unanswered. From my first consultation, I knew I was making the right choice having her represent me. I was not charged unnecessarily either, everything was very fair. Thank you, Jennifer and Ann (her paralegal), you both made this a very easy and smooth process!

Client
Jennifer did excellent work as my attorney, and her paralegal, Ann, was also excellent. They both were always kind, professional and quick to respond. Knowing she has a lot of clients, her prompt responses and attention to detail really meant a lot to me.
I was especially grateful for her working tirelessly to ensure that the law worked in my favor and securing child support for my daughter.
Jennifer prioritized me as a client and did everything in her power to help me finalize everything. I greatly appreciate her guidance throughout my divorce proceedings. Divorce is such a stressful time in anyone's life. I can't even begin to quantify the ways in which her services and professionalism made my life easier. I am grateful to have had her in my corner while going through it.
I would not hesitate to recommend you to any friends or family members looking for an experienced divorce attorney.

Very satisfied with Jennifer Fazio
I was referred to Jennifer after she helped a friend with her ex-husband not paying child support, so I hired her for the same reason. Jennifer represented me several times over eight years, and I found her and her staff to be consistently knowledgeable, professional, and effective. I highly recommend her legal services.

At last, completion
When I has to locate a third attorney to deal with my divorce, I did my homework. The others were recommended by friends. We had an initial conversation and her professionalism and detail path forward matched with what I needed.
Ms. Fazio knew how important up to date communication was to me and that I wanted this matter settled quickly with "no blood anywhere", She did it. I am so grateful that she was able to bring this matter to closure even though I did give up more than I had planned but with Ms. Fazio's guidance realized some compromise was required. THANK YOU seems not enough for the peace of mind and clear path forward she gave me.

A job well done
Jennifer handled a matter of vacating a QDRO. She and her paralegal, Ann, were easy to talk with, responsive, encouraging that the matter would be settled, and it was. They were knowledgeable, polite and kind. The fee was reasonable and the time frame was not too long for it all to be completed. If I needed assist in a similar matter, I would contact her again.

A Trusted Professional
I interviewed Jennifer twice before I actually hired her to represent me in my divorce. My first two visits convinced me that Jennifer was knowledgeable, astute, and personable. In pursuing my legal goals, Jennifer was dependably on time with every step in the proceedings, consulting with me when necessary, and keeping in contact with me as the matter proceeded. I recommend her to others without hesitation.

Excellent!
Jennifer was caring and sympathetic during my separation and divorce process. Her knowledge and summary of my options helped expedite my divorce. She was always available when I needed her. Her paralegal Ann is excellent as well. They were both right there along the way supporting me and my case. I am so happy now and can’t thank Jennifer and Ann enough for their help.

Excellent Experience!
Ms. Fazio was able to navigate and successfully complete my NY divorce in a professional and timely manor. The entire procedure was initiated and finalized during the COVID 19 pandemic, which meant that we were never able to meet in person, and to add yet another layer of complexity, I was not presently living in New York State. She is an outstanding, knowledgeable and skilled attorney.

Compassionate and Knowledgeable
Jennifer was the rock I needed to lean on during my divorce. She was always there with sound advice, but she was also incredibly kind and compassionate. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a divorce or child custody attorney. She also did my Last Will and Testament. By far one of the top attorneys in Rochester.

A1 Attorney
I was searching for a strong assertive attorney to pick up the pieces where my previous attorney firm (E&F) hadn’t done what they said or stated that they were going to do when I first obtained them. Jennifer was recommended to me by a friend that had used her for his divorce and had great outcome. On our first meeting Jennifer spelled out a clear plan to protect my IRA’s from my ex that my previous attorney wanted to give her half of. Jennifer did an exceptional job showing my ex’s attorney that my IRA’s were all premarital monies and she wasn’t entitled to any of it. Jennifer is straight forward, communicates excellent and does what she said she’s going to do. My only regret is that I did not know about her (JENNIFER) when I went through my divorce at the beginning. I would highly recommend her….. I give her a 10 out of a 10…..

Divorce
I hired Jennifer Fazio last fall as my divorce attorney and prior to meeting Ms. Fazio I had much fear of not knowing what to expect. However, once I met Jennifer and saw her taking control of the situation, I felt more confident. Ms. Fazio’s lawyer’s traits and character reassured me that she would advocate for me to the best of her ability.
Ms. Fazio is extremely organized in gathering the facts to present her case representing me. She is well-planned, punctual, has strategy for negotiating, works behind the scene, kept me well-informed, gets to the matter at hand without going all around it. There were times when Ms. Fazio was firm with me which I needed to help stay focused.
Jennifer is bold, well-spoken, confident, strong, encouraging, full of wisdom, kindness, and compassion.
In addition, the office staff from the receptionist to Ms. Fazio’s paralegal, were welcoming and kind.
I plan to hire Ms. Jennifer Fazio sometime in the near future to prepare legal documents for my Will, Health Care Proxies, and Power of Attorney.
I am highly recommending Ms. Jennifer Fazio’s professional legal services in the area of divorce.
Thank You.

Understanding, smart, determined representation - a great lawyer for a difficult time
Jennifer always took the time to explain my options to me. She worked hard to understand what I needed and pursued what was best for me and for my daughter. Jennifer knows family law inside and out. She was a great advocate during a very difficult time in my life. I can't thank her enough for her work on my case.

Best attorney in Rochester
I needed a strong and dedicated attorney to settle my case. I was going through a divorce from my wife. I also needed to work out custody arrangements pertaining to our daughter. It was a stressful time but what divorce isn't. Jennifer, was referred to me. For me, first impressions are lasting impressions. I could tell Jennifer really cared about her profession. Therefore, I knew she'd value me as her client. My case wasn't just a number or dollar sign. I really felt as my case was respected and given and treated with the attention it deserved. Jennifer, was always prepared and direct with her counseling and advice. She broke down complicated "legal" language for me as it tends to get a little confusing if you're unaware about this field of work. The simplicity she created eased so much of my frustration. She's always available and easy to get a hold of. She updates you immediately and is very focused and motivated about what she does. Her expertise and dedication will a sure you that you've retained the best attorney. Jennifer Fazio is an A+ attorney who knows the law. I'd definitely recommend her.
