John has represented me in a difficult custody battle with my ex-wife for over a year and a half, and I'm extremely grateful to have had him in my corner throughout the process. Family-law cases can become expensive, especially when they continue for this long, so getting real value from the attorney you hire is incredibly important. I believe the money I've spent on John's representation has been worth it. His knowledge, preparation, communication, and ability to guide me through each stage of the case have made his services a worthwhile investment. John is also very straightforward. He doesn't simply tell me what I want to hear. He gives me his professional opinion, explains the possible outcomes, and helps me make informed decisions rather than unnecessarily complicating the case or wasting time and money. I've also been impressed with his preparation and knowledge in the courtroom. He understands family law, knows how to handle difficult situations, and has consistently advocated for me and the best interests of my children. When you're paying an attorney during a lengthy custody case, you want to know you're getting something meaningful for that investment. With John, I feel that I am. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and dependable family-law attorney who provides excellent representation and genuine value for the money, I highly recommend John. Five stars. read more

I truly cannot say enough good things about Izzo and Associates. From the very beginning, they were so responsive and communicative, which made a stressful situation feel so much more manageable. Any time I had a question or concern, they got back to me quickly and made sure I understood every step of the process. My case was not simple at all and definitely came with some unexpected curveballs, but they handled everything with such a thoughtful and strategic approach. It always felt like they were one step ahead, anticipating challenges and navigating them in the best way possible. I never felt like just another client, they genuinely cared and put real effort into making sure things turned out in my favor. Their negotiation skills were honestly incredible. They knew exactly how to approach things and worked hard to get the best possible outcome for me. I could tell they were truly advocating for me every step of the way. I am beyond grateful for everything they did for me. This was not an easy situation, and having a team like them made all the difference. I will absolutely recommend Izzo and Associates every chance I get. They are not only highly skilled at what they do, but also kind, supportive, and truly invested in their clients. Thank you John, Meredith, Dahlia, and Dan! read more

If you want a good attorney that actually cares about you, your case and saving you money, STAY AWAY FROM JOHN IZZO! I got myself into a pickle with a woman that conned me for money...long story, but after interviewing 6 attorneys, I made the terrible mistake of hiring John Izzo. John said certain things to me on our first call that no other attorney said, that is because he is a liar and told me what I wanted to hear. He told me he would ask the judge, if we went to a hearing, to grant to original divorce filed that was non-suited on day 61 after she filed for an uncontested divorce. No other attorney mentioned that and because it is not even possible. After hiring him he always talked about "saving me money." Let me add that every phone call I had with John and Meredith was recorded. John said many things to me that he never followed through on. One example is he told me we would have a strategy call before mediation and that he would be present during the mediation and Meredith would be on standby if needed. No strategy call took place and during the 4-hour mediation, Meredith was there the entire time. Additionally, Meredith did about 90% of the talking with me and the mediator while John was mostly distracted by his dog and not paying attention. I was billed for both his and Meredith's time for the mediation. When I asked about that I was told that was an "oversight" which I do not believe. To be fair, my account was credited for the double billing. John rarely scheduled a phone call with me but would just call randomly and usually after 5pm. Meredith would be on the calls and he would defer to her about 90% of the time. Meredith was really doing all of the work and handling my case, not John. After the mediation, I started noticing many discrepancies in things John told me previously that he later claimed were not true, that I misunderstood or misheard what he said. John did not know at that I recorded every phone call we had. When I called him out on that he immediately said he is withdrawing as my attorney and I needed to find new counsel. When I told him I did not want to do that he insisted that he was no longer willing to represent me. He did recommend a few people to reach out to. I found a great attorney that not only settled my case with no hearing and no community property division, but after paying a $10K retainer to the new atty., I was refunded $6,630 because the new attorney actually cared about me and my case and my money. He pressured the other side into a settlement that saved me a ton of money had we gone to court and had to do a full discovery. However, before he fired me as a client, he also told me that he would no longer be trying my case in court and his son would now be in the courtroom with me. His son knew nothing of my case so in order to bring him up to speed, that meant more billable hours and money out of my pocket. In the end, after I hired a new attorney, Izzo offered to help get him up-to-speed at no cost to me. So generous, right! However, he did nothing other than transfer my file over to my new attorney. In the end, new counsel, Josh Murray, did more for me, did more to save me money and actually settled my divorce quickly and efficiently. Izzo only cares about taking your money. After we parted ways John called me and he thought he was calling another client of his but when I told him he dialed my number instead, he claimed (lied) that my phone number was only 1 digit off of the client he thought he was calling. What are the odds of that actually happening...I have a 404 area code, too. John is a liar and a thief in my experience. In the coming days I will be filing a grievance with the Texas State Bar and will be submitting all of my supporting evidence against John that refutes claims in an email from him where I called him out on his many discrepancies. The recorded phone calls will prove that he lied or at the very least, gave me very bad legal advice based on simply telling me what I wanted to hear...or at least what he thought I wanted to hear. DO NOT Hire John Izzo! read more

John and Meredith helped me with my child custody case. Being the grandparent, It was a complicated one. John is a no nonsense shoot straight kind of guy. He and or Meredith where their to answer all my questions and helped me gather everything I needed for court. I got custody. Years later they were there when I needed them again, with good advice. I highly recommend this law firm! read more

Great firm. Extremely thorough. Always available to answer my questions. John and his team are extremely helpful and walked me through the best case scenario for my situation. read more

I gave a 2 star because eventually we got passed the custody phase for my neice so they deserved the courtesy of at least that. I was told to wait 6 months after custody was final and then we'd file for adoption. At the 6 month mark, mind you I was very patient, I called, texted, emailed, and left voicemails for both John Izzo and Merideth Semler for months. I waited days and sometimes weeks between contact attempts. Spoke to their assistant many times and was assured I'd receive a call. After wasting months I gave up and found new counsel. Shame on me for allowing such unprofessional business practices for so long. A courtesy call, email, or SOMETHING would have been nice if they had become to busy for my case. I sure hope you don't treat all of your clients this way. As a business owner myself I can't imagine doing this to someone. Especially in a case as sensitive as adoption. Shame on me for allowing this to carry on so long but shame on you for your unprofessional and careless way of doing business. read more

This review is way overdue and definitely well deserved. Attorney John Izzo helped me out greatly a few years ago when I found myself in a bind through a rental car accident while on travel for work. To make a long story short, I got into a fender bender, our driver side headlights hit head on, the front left panel of my car was smashed. It was a minor accident, the car was driveable but was towed because the battery was damaged. My company found a loophole throughout this process, and because I opted to rent the car on my own (since I found a better rate than our travel department) they said I was 100% responsible for the damages. Gee - - thanks so much! At the time my insurance company said my policy did not cover all the damages, and that means I would have to pay out of pocket. As you know when it rains, it pours, so I then get a letter from the rental car company stating that they had "totaled the vehicle" and I owed them $27,000. Holy Moly. It didn't make sense because I had gotten an estimate on the damages from 2 body shops right after the accident, and they told me it should cost between $3,500 to $4,000 - and that the car should not have been totaled. Something smells very fishy here. Enter John Izzo. I believe I found him through the Yellow Pages, I got a free consultation and he assured me that we could resolve this w/ a favorable result, although I would still likely owe . He explained how these insurance companies work - - not so ethically and very unscrupulous - - and he wasn't surprised to see how they turned a $4,000 fender bender into a $27,000 bill. I gave him a retainer fee and let him work his magic. Over the next few weeks he engaged in a series of negotiations w/ the rental car company. In the end he was able to get them to agree to reduce their bill by 75%!! He said he could keep trying to get them down to rightful amount that should have been request, but my retainer had ran out and there's a chance they would back out, so we rationalized that it would be best to take their final offer. Now that's what I call damn good work, and a remarkable relief at that point in my life. I was still upset that the insurance company was unscrupulous, however, Mr. Izzo helped me realize that you pick your battles, it was just money, you'll re-earn it again and again, let's close this deal and get rid of them. Mr. Izzo also helped me later with a speeding ticket, I spoke to him on the phone for about 10 min and he explained how I could plead my case to the magistrate. His feedback and strategy worked. Needless to say I highly recommend John Izzo's services, he's been more than helpful and a life saver. read more

UTTERLY AMAZING. John Izzo and his team are nothing short of miracle workers. We had a complicated case requiring an emergency injunction for a child's safety, and every law firm we'd contacted was either giving us dates a week out (or more), or else turning down the case entirely because there was a possibility it could be transferred to a new jurisdiction once we began. But John cares deeply about the well-being of children in these tough situations. He and his staff literally ran around the office assembling paperwork, got the forms filed, and we were in front of a judge that same day--just five hours after we walked in! Some of the timing was luck, but there is absolutely no way it would have happened without the truly herculean efforts of John, Meredith, Dahlia and Dan. I have never seen anyone care that much about meeting a deadline that didn't personally affect them, and I am profoundly grateful. If you want a lawyer who works his butt off and makes it happen against all odds, Izzo & Associates is the way to go. read more

I too am surprised this guy has as many good reviews. I am dealing with an emotional complex sitution and he calls me for his consultation.. .he doesnt really listen to all the facts before he cuts you off to tell you what you need to do. Ummm, well sir you may want to hear the entire story before cutting them off and telling me what to do, then because they are emotional and stressed that you need to get a counselor but he is an attorney. No real concern or compassion is what I got from and a lot over talking you without hearing all the facts. I have ran into 3 attorneys like that this week actually however I have ran into so very sweet loving people in this business that do care and listen. I would pass on this guy. At end of convo he refused to give me his name and hung up on me. Sweet guy. Lol read more

John Izzo was my sons attorney for his divorce. There was no property to be split, there was no custody dispute.there were issues on their end that created rescheduled court dates that my son got charged for.. He paid them 3000.00 up front and then the week before the actual court date my son was told he needed to pay 1000.00 more.. I personally spoke with John on phone and he assured me that even if they were in court all day it would not cost the EXTRA 1000.00 they were in court less than 2 hours..A week later my son received a bill for another 442.33. My x-daughter- in-law didn't even have an attorney. So a mutual non contested divorce cost 4442.33 I now know my son could of got the same on line for 99.00 The only reason this has a 1 star rating is because I had to read more

This guy totally messed up my case and double charged me on my billing. I was actually worse off than I was before I hired him -- save your money! read more

When They say they care, they Mean it!! I was going through a divorce that was suppose to be simple, when, last second, my husband tried to sue me out of spite.. Mr. Izzo himself responded immediately to my calls. My husband had an attorney from the beginning (comped by his work, the city) & had the nerve to sue me for all his lawyer & credit card bills. John Izzo swiftly silenced the harassment from that weasel & his lawyer, instead leaving 'em dumbfounded as they relinquished his pension & awarded him nothing. When I went to John, I had very little, but his service paid for itself & then some.. He & his entire team went above & beyond for me when I needed most.. If not for them, I would be in serious debt right now.. I owe so much to him. If you acquire his services, I promise you will NOT be Sorry! read more

John handled my divorce and did an excellent job. My children were my biggest concern and John did everything he could to help in that regard. It took some time, but in the end, I was awarded primary custody and we had a female judge. read more

I am very surprised there are so many good reviews for this law firm. I have a personal injury/accident case STILL pending after almost 4 years of not a finger being lifted as far as I'm concerned. Had I not been fed a bunch of empty promises, I would have dumped this firm long before the statute of limitations was reached. I was told by Charles Miller, almost verbatim, that he put my case on the back burner because he had "bigger, more important cases to work on". And that was before he vanished without anyone letting me know. My case went on for about a year before I called to find out nobody was handling my case anymore. Finally, over 3 months ago, I was contacted by Mr. Stewart, who told me he should have the case wrapped up in a couple of weeks. Like I said, that was over 3 months ago, and still no update, even after multiple phone calls made by myself, only to have messages taken from me in vain. If you are looking for a speedy conclusion to your case...GO ELSEWHERE!!!! read more
