Hard working knowledgeable employment lawyer

Richard Tuschman is an exceptional lawyer. I worked with him for several years although our paths separated in 2011. He works hard, he works efficiently, he is knowledgeable, and exercises sound judgment. All substance, no fluff. I am an employment lawyer and I know many employment lawyers in S...outh Florida. When I needed an attorney for my business, I hired him. Richard represented me in a confidential matter involving employment law, arbitration agreements, and collective actions. The result was what I wanted; the matter went away, no payment by me or the firm.

Exceptional employment and labor attorney

Richard is an outstanding employment and labor attorney. I recommend Richard for his experience, expertise, commitment and business acumen. I am completely satisfied with the approach we followed, and process and ultimate results. Richard came highly recommended by another attorney, whom I hold in... high regard. Initially I intended to meet with at least three possible attorneys, but once I met with Richard for the initial consultation and based on my past experience with employment and labor attorneys, I knew that he was the right professional to represent me. His vast experience, solid peer recommendation and Board certification as a trial lawyer were all important factors in reaching my decision to hire Richard. His office is about an hour away, but well worth the trip. Richard took the time to explain the law, alternative strategies, and process. He invested the necessary time to understand the complexities of my case. He was responsive and always made himself available. As the decisions rest with the client, Richard patiently and clearly explained the meaning and consequences of the clauses within the agreement by and between the client and company. Richard suggested multiple approaches, each with benefits and risks. The path that we followed was creative and resulted in a quick and favorable resolution. Richard is well known and respected by his peers and insurance companies, a definite plus to maximize the result in time and dollars.

Straight forward, candid, honest advice

Met Richard via personal networking and he came highly recommended. We discussed my situation. I felt he provided sound, clear and concise advice based on the fact set. I would recommend him to someone seeking an experienced and intelligent labor attorney who won't just tell you what he thinks you wa...nt to hear.

Exceptional Experience | Amazing Results

Richard is an exceptional lawyer with a plethora of experience in labor related lawsuits for both management and employees. The first contact with him showed he was extremely prompt and able to respond quickly by either phone or email. The initial consultation was attentive and forthcoming with... recommendations, while at the same time not being pushy towards any one outcome. I immediately considered him my top choice after having spoke with two other lawyers before. Throughout the course of my case I could tell he was both comfortable and able to easily navigate the difficulties of my situation. He was frequently open about his next approach or strategy prior to taking it and though I always felt his recommendations were best he was often open and willing to hear my suggestions. Ultimately the results of my case were positive. A case such as mine had been said by other attorneys to take 18 months to resolve, was done so in 4 with Richard. While I'm sure this won't be the case for everyone, Richard's approach was pragmatic and client focused, I am sure anyone would be satisfied with his results. I would easily recommend Richard to anyone in a similar situation and would not hesitate to hire him again.
