Excellent services

Mr. Tuscano is a wonderful lawyer that helped me in the immigration field. Everything went smoothly and he got the job done swiftly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone else who may require a similar service.

Got my job done

I hired Mr.Toscano for consular processing for H1B visa. He was extremely helpful and efficient in getting to the conclusion of my case in less than 2 months. Regular updates from his end, smooth communication and focused approach was so satisfying. Would recommend anyone with immigration or visa rel...ated issues to reach out to this office.

Amazing experience

My husband and his family have used Richard many times for their immigration needs and Richard has been amazing every single time. Quick to answer questions, willing to meet late due to hectic work schedules, and always gets the job done. Truly don’t know what we’d do with out him. If you want it don...e the right way, then hire Richard you will not be disappointed.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
