Our Mission

Like every good lawyer, Mr. Fuschino knows when a case must result in a plea. However, he is known as a hard-nosed criminal defense lawyer for a reason: Fuschino takes cases to trial.

People refer their friends and family to Mr. Fuschino because they know he will aggressively counter criminal charges using every tool, maneuver, strategy and tactic within the law to protect their rights, record and freedom.

Why does having a former prosecutor on my side matter?

Having a former prosecutor like Richard J. Fuschino, Jr. means your defense is built with an "insider" perspective. We understand exactly how the District Attorney’s office builds their case, what evidence they prioritize, and where their weaknesses usually lie. This foresight allows us to stay one step ahead in negotiations and at trial.

Which courts does the Law Offices of Richard J. Fuschino, Jr. serve?

We represent clients across both state and federal courts. This includes the Philadelphia Criminal Justice Center (CJC), the Bucks County Justice Center in Doylestown, and federal matters in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. We also handle cases throughout New Jersey and at the appellate level.

Will my case actually go to trial, or will it be plea-bargained?

Every case is unique. While we know when a strategic plea deal is in your best interest, we are known for our trial-ready approach. Mr. Fuschino "works every case to death" with the goal of a "not guilty" verdict. Unlike "plea mill" firms, we prepare every case as if it is going to a jury, which often forces the prosecution to offer better deals or drop charges entirely.
