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!

An outstanding attorney!

Richard Toscano is one of the best in his practice area. I have known him for almost 10 years and during all those years he has demonstrated to be the most reliable, knowledgeable, honest and kind attorney I have ever met. His passion to help the undocumented community goes above and beyond any amo...unt of cash can pay. He is truly outstanding in his area of practice and will do anything in his power to solve your case regardless of it's complexity. If you are seeking legal advice and have no one to turn to, do not hesitate to contact him. He will work with you and give you the most reasonable rate available.

"Excellent and Honest Lawyer

Mr. Toscano really saved my life. I had an outstanding deportation order, which other lawyers either could not or did not want to take the time to solve. I was picked up by the Immigration Service, thrown in jail and taken to the airport to be deported. My wife hired Mr. Toscano, who did ...not promise her anything, but said he would do his best.e filed an emergency stay of deportation and I was literally taken off the plane and saved from deportation. I was then taken back to jail and Mr. Toscano quickly had me bonded out. About one year and many Court appearances later, I was given my green card. I am now applying for citizenship. I have referred about 6 really difficult cases of friends and family to Mr. Toscano and all of them have received successful results. Too bad he doesn't advertise because the public needs to about lawyers like Mr. Richard Toscano

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.
