This Month's Program

John Faucher, Faucher Law, P.C. (818) 889-8080




John practices tax and bankruptcy law because they offer an invigorating mix of client counseling, problem-solving, court appearances, and helping people get to the other side of difficult financial circumstances. His bankruptcy work focuses primarily on personal chapter 7 bankruptcy, small business chapters 7 & 11 bankruptcies, and bankruptcy litigation, both defense of creditors in bankruptcies and defense against creditors challenging a bankruptcy. John has particular expertise in how to discharge federal and California tax debts in bankruptcy. He also enjoys putting his prior employment at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to good use defending both individual and corporate taxpayers in IRS and CA tax agency (Franchise Tax Board, Board of Equalization, California Department of Tax & Fee Administration) audits and collection actions. John holds Certificates of Specialization in Bankruptcy Law and in Tax Law from the State Bar of California. These specializations are given only to attorneys passing an exam. Fewer than five percent of lawyers in California have this designation. John is a member of the California, Texas and Pennsylvania State Bar Associations.

Prior to going into private practice in 2009, John worked as an attorney for the U.S. Treasury Department, IRS Division, for more than a decade. During this time, John was a special assistant U.S. Attorney representing the IRS in bankruptcy courts in Houston, Texas; Woodland Hills; and Santa Barbara. His work at IRS included review of offers in compromise, objections to chapter 13 plans, litigation over IRS claims in bankruptcy, lien, and levy collection issues including IRS seizures, and tax litigation. John has also interned for two bankruptcy judges: Judge Alan Jaroslovsky of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California (Santa Rosa), and Chief Judge Joseph Cosetti of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh).

DTP Santa Barbara, California Chapter Leader

My name is John Duffy, and I am a financial advisor, planner, and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® professional. I believe in service as a way of life and I endeavor to help others personally and professionally.

 

I founded Zen Divorce Solutions to help couples amicably identify, evaluate, and equitably divide assets in a fair and respectful manner during divorce.

 

I graduated from the University of San Francisco with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Management and began working in tech in Silicon Valley. I moved to Santa Barbara to start a family and begin my career in finance. I am happily re-married to my wife, Star, and together we added a son and daughter to our blended family. When I am not watching my younger children’s soccer games or gardening, I enjoy scuba, ice hockey, camping and traveling. I am the former board chair of Pacific Pride Foundation, Santa Barbara’s LGBTQ+ organization, and am currently serving on the boards of Casa del Herrero and Hospice of Santa Barbara.
