Terrence Ross Fantauzzi

I had a most ugly situation happen a few weeks ago. Someone, or a group of people planned, then executed an astonishing fraud on one of my bank accounts. This was a slick job, they fooled not just me, but also 3 banks in 2 countries, armed with some of the most sophisticated fraud detection resources... on the planet. Naturally, when the bank discovered it, they came after me, hard and heavy. First, they shut down BOTH my business and personal accounts and they froze all my money. Then they crashed my FICO score by -150 points, overnight! Then, they got mad-dog frothing mean about things. They made threats, they hurled accusations, and none of it was true; I was just an easy mark for some bankster whose job was now in jeopardy. Over three weeks, this bank shut down my life. I was not able to pay bills, indeed I was not even able to see what bills I owed. Take this life advice – NEVER keep all your assets in one bank! I hit a wall at this point, having reached the limit of my knowledge and having been set upon by those highly skilled in breaking people, and then shaking them down, to cover for their ineptitude. Who do you call in a situation like this? I needed a lawyer, but what kind of lawyer? The California Bar Association lists no specialty for dealing with thug bankers. Perhaps they should consider adding this category. I saw Terrence Fantauzzi was near my office, he had amazing reviews, and he deals with bankruptcy; ‘bank’ caught my attention. Close enough! Terrence answered me quickly and he offered either a phone call or an office visit. The next day, I met Terrence. After a few words, I knew this fellow was a based, confident, highly educated man of steel. At the same time, he was extremely compassionate and showed a genuine interest in helping me end this nightmare at once. Terrence laid out my options, in order of least costly, to what a worst-case scenario might mean. Terrence educated me on how the law applies in this case, and he clearly articulated how and why the bank personnel were behaving badly. He encouraged me to take steps on my own while assuring me that he was just a phone call away if things didn’t work out. I ask rhetorically, who does this anymore? What a blessing it was to receive this kind of effective help. Thank you Terrence!

I highly recommend Terrence and his team of friendly professionals. From the very beginning Terrence was always available and ready to help. I had contacted other lawyers and no one got back to me until after I had already filed. Alicia and Elizabeth were also great to work with on any issues with... the documentation. All communications were quick and precise. I was able to file for the bankruptcy within the week. On the day of the hearing Terrance was there on the call and was able to answer all my questions. I was expecting the process to be more complicated than it was. Thanks again Terrence and team.
