When I first spoke with Mr. Izzo regarding my divorce, he seemed like he genuinely cared and wanted to help so naturally I hired him.
As time and the divorce pressed on there were a number of times he claimed we were at the finish line and "just one more payment to bump the retainer". Eventually it drug on and on so much he promised as long as we didn't have to re-enter the courtroom there would be no more charges "after this one" (his co-counsel and my family heard him say this verbally).
After a while he hit me up for more money again and his co-counsel (which was always on call with him, so you get double billed: YAY!) did remind him ONCE that he'd said "no more billings" and then eventually she no longer stood up to Mr. Izzo in my defense about his promise. (She likely got reprimanded after her initial reminder to him). I reminded him of his promise as he tap danced around it and as I continued to push he said he needed money to continue and didn't want to argue and hung up on me. He knew full well if I were to spin up another attorney it would cost me thousands and thousands of dollars to get up to speed, so what choice did I REALLY have? I eventually relented, again.. what choice did I have?
Then came more charges, and more, and more. It became almost predictable.
He'd call and tell me the same story over and over again about some other judge in some other county. I probably paid hundreds if not THOUSANDS of dollars to hear that story time and time again.
He constantly called me by someone else's name in the beginning until I harshly corrected him. I think his case load does not match with what he can handle and is overwhelmed, overworked and likely understaffed.
The opposing counsel constantly filed things after the filing deadlines and Mr. Izzo just accepted it for what it was, rather than raising the issue with the courts as we came in unprepared.
Every time we encountered a dead end or an issue we should have taken higher or objected he just shrugged and said "it is what it is".
Bottom line:
No FIT parent should have to pay what I paid in attorney fees to have access to their child and in the end, I got told "It's OK, you got the quality time with your kid on the weekends with no distractions like school work or doctors visits" as if being a second class citizen/parent was ever a goal to admire.

This is definitely my go to legal help in Round Rock. They helped me set up my will and estate and did a fantastic job. Filing was a breeze. I have also referred other friends to them and they have helped immensely with their cases.

I was blown away by the kindness and understanding of Mr. Izzo. I had just called to get to know how much it will cost me to consult him. He was so generous that he literally gave me the next steps to take right away. I was moved by his generosity and commitment to the law that I will certainly be retaining him.

John, Meredith, and team are all true professionals... We successfully modified a previous divorce decree giving me custody of my girls with exclusive rights! Living in Williamson County I did not think it would be possible. Thank you Izzo & Associates for saving my girls and making things right!!! Give John a call today!

I hired John in 2008 he sounded very professional that was all a act to hire him. My case was settled very quickly due to my ex husband wanting a quick divorce. I got a call a hour after all papers where signed by the judge and Mr.Izzo said things changed and I needed more money ? He then said the other lawyer didn't want to agree and I needed to give him more money to call the lawyer and get him to change his mind. I told him I had no money to give him and the judge signed off ??? He asked me if my mom could give me money or a credit card, I said no as far as I was concerned I was divorced I had a judge sign things and had filed paperwork for name change. Good Day! I called my ex husband and asked What is going on with your lawyer ? He said his lawyer and him never changed there mind and all paperwork was signed. He thought it was a way to get more money. 15 min later John called and said he made a phone call and was able to quickly get everything done and I was now divorced??? I have heard other stories of John trying to extort money. Beware !!

I would like to start by saying that John Izzo knows very well what he is doing and that he handles the situations like none other . These difficult times for us are emotional and are not an easy thing to go through, but let me tell you what a difference it has made having someone in our corner that will fight his heart out for us , has never left us hanging and we have been through a lot of this over the past several years due to the other side and there nonsense . John Izzo has been with us every step of the way . John gives knowledgable advice and handles the case and himself very well , he has never promised an outcome to us, as that can't truthfully be done . However our case and our family has got exceptional results every time. John works with the facts and presents them extremely well. John represented me several years ago , John got my son returned to me from another state ! I have had my son every since . John then begin to represent my fiancee a short time later and she has her son ever since . Due to the other side we have had to endure several trips into the court house including -at the drop of a hat notice from the court that we would have to be in court for emergency hearing the following morning , John notified us immediately as soon as he got notice from the court , he called every phone number he had for us until he got in touch with us ! Then he was standing in the courtroom on time batting for us with less then 24 hours notice to anyone on our side knowing this was going to happen including himself . Once again we got great results as John put a stop to the foolish games the other side was trying to play . Let me tell you most attorneys are not going to do this for you that is amazing . John has been there everytime and has gotten us exceptional results. I highly recommend John to anyone that is going through this difficult time , there may also be other good family attorneys out there but I can say from experience we have had and having John by our side , that if I had any other then John Izzo in our corner , I would feel like I had less .

Professional, Passionate, and Persistent- three words I use to describe Izzo & Associates. John Izzo and Meredith Semler are an EXCELLENT team!! I've known John for over three years as he was my divorce attorney in 2015, and we just wrapped up a final hearing in my custody battle. John is very inexpensive as I spent about a third of what my ex-husband did. John and Meredith worked countless hours preparing for the final hearing and their passion and persistence paid off as I won everything I asked for. John went up against two young attorneys and his experience and knowledge, along with my honesty, won our case. I HIGHLY recommend Izzo & Associates if you're looking for a professional, passionate, and persistent attorney to handle your legal needs.

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.

John is an excellent attorney, and I am quite sure that I was not easy to work with! He always kept a level head and very understanding with an emotional client. His staff is always ready to listen and respond. He worked with a passion for my case, with an understanding of its complexities. Thank you for a job well done!
