Scam artist

This guy failed to do his job, he was paid to help with a case that he made seem like he was able to help and do things to make everything go away but in all reality was just using the money for his own personal gain and not actually doing any work. I don't blame him for his actions but his parents f...or failing to raise someone with some morals. He made me believe he was going to actually help me out with my legal problems when all he did was take my money if he was hurting for cash you would expect him not to be taking money from a disabled vet but that's just the kind of terrible things you would expect from a terrible person. If taking my money wasn't bad enough he was asked to just finish doing something he had already gotten paid for but decided since he couldn't squeeze anymore money from me he was not going to work with me anymore. Aside from him taking my money it seems like he has a problem not knowing how to actually practice law anymore considering his failures with not just my case but from others I heard about where he was doing the exact thing he was doing to me where he was taking their money and not helping them out, but if it's what his parents taught him on how to work and treat others can't really blame him but you could avoid him in order to not get scammed by this so called lawyer who claims to help. My confidence died when I saw the judge call this man out saying he had rescheduled my stuff too many times and decided to call around to other attorneys when they had informed me that I was being scammed and it shouldn't be taking years for my case to be cleared up which was a mess caused by Anthony Fusco. This man needs to go back to school and learn how to practice law or needs to find a way to break the habit that he was taught about scamming others.

Wonderful lawyer!

Tony made my whole DWI experience so much less stressful. He is so organized and on top of everything. He made sure to keep me updated whenever there was new information in my case and he checked in on me multiple times a month. He knows what he is talking about and I would recommend him to anyone.... From the beginning I felt very comfortable and in fact I felt like he went above and beyond for me many times during my case. He is easily accessible and very flexible.

Awesome

From the first time I spoke with Tony he made me feel at ease about the crazy situation I was dealing with. He told me all possible scenarios and outcomes and always kept me informed of anything he was doing with my case. The day after he was hired as my lawyer he began working on my case. He eventua...lly got it reduced from a serious charge to a misdemeanor. He did everything he could to get a positive outcome for me and I would highly recommend him if your looking for a hard working trustworthy lawyer. Thanks again Tony!

Great lawyer!

Tony is a very knowledgable and trustworthy attorney. From the first day I stepped into his office he made me feel very welcomed. He is a man of his word and works his ass off to get the best results possible for the client. He always kept me informed about anything new that had happened between the ...prosecutors and him. It seems like he is very well known at the court house which always helps out any situation. I would recommend Tony Fusco to anyone who is in legal trouble.

A+ attorney at law

My son & I have just really appreciated all Anthony has done to make an unpleasant situation bearable & we appreciate the way he walked us through the process with his knowledge of everything, law & peoples. We are just so thankful to have found him in particular to be my son's attorney. He h...as surpassed our expectations. He cared about the situation my son found himself in and worked hard to get the best possible outcome for him. We could not be more pleased with Anthony knowledge and help through this matter. Thank you so much.

Appeals lawyer | Aug 18

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Tony is an excellent, detail oriented lawyer. His keen insight in the area of criminal defense appeals was a valued strength of my firm. His writing style is crisp and to the point. He recently drafted most a brief in a case called Dees v State that opened new avenues for a class of criminal defendants that did not exist before we had the idea. I was happy for him when he was appointed as a Judge and wish him nothing but the best."
