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 reputation 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
Total professionals !! I can say nothing but great things about John Fiore and his staff . Always on top of everything and John always takes my calls when he is available and if he’s not, he calls me back as soon as he can . I am so happy I fired my other firm and went with John . I have recommended him and will continue to recommend him. Both he and all of the staff are incredible and really care about what they do and who they represent!!
John has gone above and beyond what is an attorney's responsibly. Any questions I had if he didn't know the answers, he knew someone who did. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a compensation attorney.

I was a client of Fanning & Fiore and had two cases with them. Based on my experience, I do not recommend this law office.
At first, things seemed to be going well — my medical bills were covered and I received compensation for time I couldn’t work. I rarely contacted the office, only checking in every few months. I once called and spoke with Phil. I asked him about my cases to which he responded dismissively with “I already told you that,” even though I hadn’t spoken to him in months.
Later in a future call, I was shocked to learn from the office that both of my cases had been closed without my knowledge or consent. When I raised this directly with the lawyer, he told me my case was not closed and that he had seen cases remain open for years. He offered no apology for the misinformation or the unprofessional behavior of his staff.
To make matters worse, I even had an email blocked from someone in their office. Despite always treating them with respect and patience, I was met with dishonesty and disrespect. That is unacceptable and unprofessional.
I ultimately decided to change lawyers. In my opinion, Fanning & Fiore are not worth working with.

Dear Marcello,<br>Thank you for your feedback. When you initially tried to reach “Brittney” via email, she had not been with our firm for several years and her email address was no longer active. Fortunately, that did not prevent you from continuing to communicate directly with us on multiple occasions afterward, and we were always available to assist you.<br>To clarify the facts of your case while we represented you:<br><br>You received all necessary medical treatment benefits.<br>You were fully compensated for your lost time from work.<br>Your then-attorney informed you that your case remained open (and indeed it was).<br><br>Our records also show that in June 2023, you called our office several times in one morning. On each occasion, our staff spoke with you patiently and thoroughly addressed your concerns. As we explained during those conversations, your case was still active, and we were prepared to continue fighting on your behalf had you not chosen to substitute counsel.<br>We are proud to have secured both medical benefits and monetary compensation for you, and we remained ready to advocate further until you decided to retain new representation.<br>While we respect your right to leave a review, we believe a one-star rating does not accurately reflect the outcome we achieved together or our ongoing availability to you.<br>We sincerely wish you continued success and good health moving forward.<br>Best regards,<br>Fanning & Fiore, LLP
JOHN FIORE didn't just represent me, he was my trusted advisor and advocate. The Fanning and Fiore team was always accessible and patient, answering all my questions, and walking me through the daunting process of the NYS Workers' Compensation Board . Knowing I had someone so knowledgeable and dedicated fighting for me allowed me to finally focus on my health and well being. I didn't have to stress about the bills or the legal paperwork. I can't thank him enough for his hard work and for securing a financial award that will truly help my future. "If you are an injured worker and you are looking for an attorney, look no further. JOHN FIORE IS YOUR MAN Five stars is not enough!"
I worked with John Fury at Fanning & Fury LLP for my workers’ compensation case while I was in the Carpenters Union, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. John was professional, straightforward, and easy to work with from start to finish. He kept me informed every step of the way, explained things clearly, and genuinely cared about the outcome.
He fought hard to make sure I got the settlement I deserved, and I’m very grateful for his dedication and expertise. I’d recommend John to any of my Local 157 carpenters or any NYC carpenter locals who need help with a workers’ comp case. He truly looks out for his clients and gets results.
Owner response
Thank You Victor. We appreciate your kind words. We are proud to fight for all your brothers and sister carpenters in Local 157 who come to us for legal representation.
Fantastic operation, from start to finish. John Fiore goes out of his way to put a personal touch on all his cases. Extremely well-versed and experienced in workers compensation law, and his experience shows with his results. Top tier service at this firm, from the intake , to the end result. I could not have asked for anything more. There are very few lawyers nowadays who will show you the personal attention and speak to you straight the way John Fiore does. I can personally attest to this. A lot of firms give you the high volume factory treatment, where you end up being just a number , but you absolutely get the opposite of that here.
5-star professional operation, without a doubt. I would highly recommend for any of your workers compensation needs. John has been very effective for myself, and many other of my co-workers to whom he was recommended.
Owner response
Steve, its our great privilege to represent you and your NYC Local 3 Communications Electricians Brothers and Sisters.
Thank you Christina Kazepis!!!!! You are truly a dedicated attorney who fights for the little guys! My case was stalled for years and thankfully you took it over and quickly finalize the settlement. Your humanity and compassion is what makes you a great attorney. You took the time to explain everything in detail and talked “to” me, instead of “at” me. You took my calls and texts after hours and did not talk down to me when I asked questions. I am thankful you settled my case prior to leaving Fanning and Fiore. I wish you nothing but success and will gladly recommend you to all my Ironworker brothers and sisters. You did an incredible job! Best of luck Christina, stay in touch.
I would like to thank Christina Kazepis for all her hard work on my case. She went beyond the call of duty. Walked me through before all my court hearings. She spent time to explain everything to my wife and I.I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Christina Kazepis for her exceptional dedication and unwavering commitment to my case. Her efforts extended far beyond the expected, providing me with comprehensive guidance and support throughout all my court proceedings. Notably, she took the time to thoroughly explain the complexities of the case to my wife and me. Thank you again. Reach out to Christina she is the best .
Owner response
HI Sean, We at Fanning & Fiore are overjoyed with how everything played out on your case! We are also glad that the attorney we assigned to the case met your expectations.<br>
Christina Kazepis is, without question, one of the most intelligent, tenacious, and dedicated attorneys I have ever had the privilege to work with. From the outset, she demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to my case, working tirelessly to ensure that every detail was addressed and nothing was overlooked. Her thoroughness, strategic thinking, and unwavering attention to detail are remarkable—qualities that make her an exceptional advocate for her clients.
What truly sets Christina apart, however, is the depth of her care and integrity. She approaches her work with a rare combination of strength, compassion, and ethical rigor, ensuring that her clients feel supported and understood throughout even the most challenging circumstances. Her heart is both pure and fierce, and she uses that strength to advocate not just effectively, but humanely.
I feel incredibly fortunate that Christina Kazepis took my case. Her guidance, dedication, and advocacy have made a profound difference in my life, and I am deeply grateful for her expertise, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to justice. Christina is the kind of attorney and person this country needs more of—someone who combines brilliance with genuine care, and who consistently goes above and beyond for those she repres
