Fortune to have Richard as our family lawyer

Beyond grateful with Richard Toscano for his extraordinary work. Toscano has been the family lawyer and has successfully helped all of us one way or another. My parents met Toscano through family relatives. Toscano has effectively helped my uncles with their citizenship dating back in 1980's. Recentl...y, My mother was able to obtain her residence in less than a year. Toscano is a well prepared lawyer and always willing to help his clients. I was pleased with the fast pace he communicates with his clients, just an email or phone call away. Toscano also speaks spanish which is a great advantage, making it more comfortable to speak with. He is a trustworthy lawyer and will guide you through the right path. I highly recommend him and can assure anyone, that he is an excellent lawyer. I am extremely pleased with his work and will always recommend him to friends and family. Toscano will continue to be our family lawyer whom we seek for his qualified work.

Excellent attorney. Would recommend.

Richard Toscano lawyer helped us out in a criminal case related to a company I started with $93 million in funding. He then subsequently helped obtain employment authorization documents and finally a green card. Excellent attorney. We have had many good times over dinner. We have even brainstorme...d creating our own startup together.

Amazing lawyer!

Richard is the best! He did my husbands immigration case. Everything went so smooth. If I had any questions he would respond right away explain everything to us. Very honest he didn't just tell us something that we want to hear, he told us the truth. Highly recommend Richard Toscano !

Noureen Immigration Case

Mr. Toscano was most knowledgable on my immigration status. He worked very closely with me, advising each step I took. I never felt alone or nervous because he guided me well. I went to Mr. Toscano after my spouse dropped my case and the last lawyer took all my money and told me there was nothing ...I can do because I would NEVER get my green card. Mr. Toscano gave me his assurance that he could help me through this case and never went back on his word. I now have a permanent residency green card, I'm so grateful and happy I had a great lawyer by my side. Mr. Toscano is not only well advised but also trustworthy. You will not be promised the world but he will fight for you, like you are his only client. He is the only lawyer whom I can say is a great man. I highly recommend Richard Toscano to my friends, family and anyone needing an immigration lawyer.

Two words - Simply Awsome!!! -

After working with few different lawyers in the past and practically waisting my money and time someone finaly sent me Richard for Consultation. And Honestly I was really impressed by his knowledge and professionalisim. My case as I was told had no hope and was one the most complex cases but with... the dedication of Richard I was able to Get my WorkPermit. I would highly recommend Richard for any Immigration related issues with no doubt in my mind as He has proved to me that he is well worth of every penny and more. I wish that I knew him 5 years earlier so that I would have been already a GC holder. Just follow what he tells you and you will be just fine. Great human being. GOD Bless Him.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
