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.

Detention by immigration.

I was holded up by immigration for 5 months and 10 days. It was the most terrified time of my life. Never expected that immigration would have hold me that long. But thanks God for Mr. Toscano, he took my case and work on it few days after and work energetically to keep me in the us and not to be dep...orted. Without Mr. Toscano life would have been departed from my family, I would have to be back in Pakistan and my wife and kids in the US. Thanks to Mr. Toscano for the awesome job he did with my case.

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.
