An exceptional advocate

Richard toscano is a very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and quite professional lawyer. We were introduced to Mr. Toscano by a close friend. I was quite impressed by his knowledge and determination for the case.We found him when all hopes had vanished. My father was detained by ICE and the only thing ...I was told by the lawyers was that there is no hope and he will be deported. Mr. Toscano was the only lawyer who insured us that my dad can come out and with the help of God and Mr. Toscano’s hard work my father came back home. He is always available via phone, email or in person. He explains each and everything thing in detail. He knows what he is doing. I would highly recommend him. Mr. Toscano is like our family attorney. We always consult him in any legal matter and will continue to do so. I am highly satisfied by the work he did in my father's case and is continuing to do so.

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.

Richard Toscano is an EXCELLENT Immigration Attorney!!!!!!!!

It gives my husband and me great honor to write a review for our attorney Richard Toscano. Mr. Toscano was a life savior for our family. We had worked with 2 other attorneys on an immigration matter for many years and almost thought we would never accomplish what we were trying to do. We were almo...st at a very critical point when Mr. Toscano was introduced to us by a dear friend and step in to save our family!!! Bascially we had to start the process all over, but this time in the correct way, with a very very knowledgeable and highly experienced attorney. From our first encounter with Mr. Toscano we knew that we were finally with an attorney who knew the law and also an attorney who would be able to help us accomplish what we have been trying accomplish for so many years but instead had gotten the run around and spent thousands of dollars with no results!!! In less than a year Mr. Toscano worked on our case, and everything worked out in our favor. The beauty of it all is that we understood everything that was being done because our attorney, Mr. Richard Toscano, was always there to explain and guide us throughout the whole process. We highly recommend Richard Toscano!!!! He is an attorney who is very knowledgeable, honest and has an excellent record of winning his cases. We no longer consider our relationship with Richard to be just attorney and client; we consider Richard as a life long friend!!!! We recommend Richard Toscano every chance we get!!!

Knowledgeable and experienced, I Highly Recommend Richard Toscano.

Richard Toscano is an outstanding attorney. His experience and knowledge of the law is clearly seen in the description of the timeline of events as they will occur. He demystified the complex immigration process and gave me the confidence and assurance that my case was in the right hands. Since r...esults matter, his up front attitude as to what to expect throughout the process and attaining the desired outcome, Richard delivered. It is without reservation I have recommended to many friends and continue to highly recommend Richard Toscano for any and all immigration needs. He has delivered every single time !!!!

One of the very best!

Mr. Toscano is a very professional and highly knowledgable lawyer. When my father was picked up by the Immigration Customs Enforcement, he was the only lawyer we could trust to deal with the situation. Because I am a college student, he was very flexible with his hours to accommodate me, and kept me ...informed every step of the way. He was very clear in terms of telling me what I had to do on my part, and he was successful in getting my father out in a short amount of time, when my family was told that there was nothing we could do to stop the deportation. He was always available via phone and email, to answer any questions or queries I had. We have recommended him to all of our family and friends, because he can be trusted to get the job done, and is very upfront about your case, unlike most lawyers who take your money and sell you a dream. His respectful manner and genuine desire to help people, makes him the only lawyer I would trust to handle legal situations. Not only has he helped my father, but he has helped many other people that I know. Highly recommended; the only lawyer I will seek help from!
