Hired for Family Member
I hired Mr. Fuschino for a family member going through a very bad situation. The case took a long time to resolve- a year. Mr. Fuschino stuck through us the whole time, and was always helpful and professional.

Looking to win
We recently hired Mr. Fuschino after reading all the great reviews. As of right now the case is not yet resolved; hopefully he can knock this one out. He seems very professional and honest, but could see Mr. Fuschino ready to attack if needed. Will be posting another update soon....

Thank you so much !
Feels like weights been lifted off of my shoulders. Saved my job and well being. Richard got all of my charges dropped. He's very honest. He was always available when I called/texted, and answered all of my questions that I had throughout. This guy's the absolute best. Don't gamble on someone else.

Case discharged
I was so worried that I couldn’t afford trial because it was going to be expensive. Lucky for me and my family I was referred to Mr. Fuschino by another lawyer. He had the case discharged before trial saving me money and sleepless nights.
Richard John Fuschino Jr.'s Lawyer Endorsements
"I had several cases against Mr. Fuschino during my time as a prosecutor. Professional, zealous, and prepared."
"I worked with Mr. Fuschino on a Juvenile criminal matter in Philadelphia County. Under his guidance, we were able to creatively, and successfully secure a favorable disposition for a mutual client. I endorse Mr. Fuschino wholeheartedly."

"Mr. Fuschino is a professional, knowledgeable defense attorney. He's a straight shooter with the experience to know the best way to handle your matter. I highly recommend him."
"I worked with Mr. Fuschino when he was a prosecutor at the District Attorney's Office in Philadelphia and I was opposing counsel. Based on this experience, I can say that Mr. Fuschino knows the law and he knows how to use the rules of evidence. I remember one time in which he needed to explain a particular evidentiary rule to the court. Mr. Fuschino is well-spoken and an effective oral advocate. He knows when to press a point in court and when to fall back. Mr. Fuschino knows the court system in Philadelphia through and through, and, as a former prosecutor himself, he can anticipate the prosecutor's thinking and strategy. I always appreciated how pleasant, reasonable and fair he was to opposing counsel. Finally, I believe that I can vouch for Mr. Fuschino's integrity."
