About Francis Joseph
Francis Joseph Masciocchi began his legal career after earning a law degree and securing admission to multiple bars and federal courts. He is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and he holds admissions to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and the U.S. Tax Court. Those credentials have shaped a practice that moves between state court dockets and federal tribunals.
Over the years he has represented clients in a mix of contested matters. He has handled civil litigation and tax matters for individuals and businesses. His courtroom work includes appearances in state trial courts and federal district courts. He also regularly addresses matters that come before the U.S. Tax Court, where procedural knowledge and attention to evidentiary detail are essential.
Colleagues and clients describe him as pragmatic in his approach to disputes. He tends to evaluate cases through the lens of risk and remedy. That orientation governs how he prepares filings, conducts discovery, and presents arguments. He aims to keep exchanges clear and focused. His courtroom manner is straightforward. He pursues resolutions that reflect a client’s objectives and the realities of litigation.
Masciocchi’s practice requires keeping up with developments in both state and federal procedure as well as tax law. He manages the logistics of cross-jurisdictional practice, including coordinating filings and appearances across Pennsylvania and New Jersey and in federal forums. That practical side of the work — calendars, briefs, hearings, and client communication — is a steady part of his day-to-day responsibilities.
Today he maintains active admissions in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and continues to practice in the U.S. District Courts for New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania and in the U.S. Tax Court. He represents clients in matters that involve contested civil claims and tax disputes across state and federal venues, and he currently concentrates his practice on litigation and tax disputes.
