About John R
John R Frazier's academic record spans economics, business and law. He earned a B.A. in Economics from Hampden-Sydney College in 1986 and an MBA from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1994. He completed his J.D. at the University of Toledo College of Law in 1997 and followed that with an LL.M. in Taxation from the University of Florida Levin College of Law in 1998. Those credentials gave him a mix of fiscal, transactional and courtroom training that has shaped his practice.
His legal career began in clerking positions. In 1999 he worked at the Law Offices of Gardner, Willis, Sweat & Goldsmith. The following year he served as a law clerk at Kramer, Sewell, Sopko & Levenstein, P.A. By 2001 he had moved into private practice as an associate at the Law Offices of Joseph F. Pippen, Jr. & Associates P.L. He later returned to that office and, in 2023, is listed as a lawyer at Pippen Law Group, PLLC. Over the years he also established an office under his own name, operating as John R Frazier J.D., LL.M., PLC.
Frazier holds admission in Florida and Georgia, and he is licensed to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. His LL.M. in Taxation signals formal training in tax matters, and his memberships reflect the areas he has worked in. He belongs to the National Organization of Veterans Advocates and to both the National Academy of Elder Law Lawyers and the Academy of Florida Elder Law Lawyers. Those affiliations indicate sustained involvement in veterans benefits and elder law issues.
Clients and colleagues describe a lawyer who blends academic training and practical courtroom experience. He has handled matters that intersect tax law, elder law and veterans claims. He has experience drafting documents and advising on the legal and financial consequences that arise for older adults and veterans. His background in business and taxation informs how he approaches planning and disputes where money, benefits and records matter.
Today Frazier maintains a practice and an office under his own name while also appearing at Pippen Law Group, PLLC. He continues to accept matters in elder law, veterans benefits and tax-related issues, advising clients on legal rights, claims and planning options.
