Amazing!! Both Misdemeanors Dismissed!!

I was charged with both a major and minor traffic misdemeanor which would have cost more to pay than what representation cost and would have affected my employment, not to mention my Insurance rates. Unlike other on-line criminal ticket defense teams I have used in the past, the Musca Law firm att...orney assigned to my case, Vincent, actually took the time to call me in order to determine what really happened. He told me what he needed to put my case together and I sent that information. He actually communicated with me a couple of times after that via phone and email letting me know how things were going and what other information I might be able to send to help his planned defense. What kind of ticket defense team does that? Thank you John Musca for caring and setting up your firm to allow that to happen. For actually representing your clients rather than simply pleading them out like so many other firms do these days. Simply Amazing!! He got both charges dismissed despite the fact I could not be at the hearing and the FHP officer who cited me was. A little more expensive than the other "defense teams" but worth every penny of it. I will definitely use Musca Law should I ever need representation again.

2nd DUI Arrest. Blew .224 and .229. They got my license back!!!

I was arrested for a second DUI charge at the beginning of June. My BAC results when I took the breathalyzer test were .224 and .229. I took a chance on hiring the Musca Law Group, and boy did I make the correct decision! Immediately after hiring them attorney Rebecca Sonalia started on my DMV admin...istrative case to try to win me my driving privileges back. She attained me a business permit so I could continue to work and provide for my family. Before the end of the month she fought and won my administrative review and my full driving privileges were restored, and I was able to get my drivers license back that same day! I highly recommend the Musca Law Group to anyone that finds themselves in the same unfortunate situation I put myself in. They have been and continue to be worth every penny. Thank you very much John Musca, Rebecca Sonalia, and Vincent Trimarco !!!

Recommended 5 Times Over For An Unwinnable DUI

After experiencing my first DUI, I was pretty overwhelmed with information and time frames. Having no clue what to do and never having experienced a legal issue, I knew I needed representation I could rely on. After some research, my family found out about Musca Law. I initially saw my case as unwinn...able, but just found out yesterday that my DMV case has been dropped and my license was back in my pocket by the end of the day! It has only been a month. From the moment Mr. Musca answered the phone on Memorial Day, to his team getting me a business-purpose permit two weeks later that the police said I would not be eligible for, and up through now...his team has been in constant communication with me and has saved me a great deal of stress. They know the law and how to use the technicalities to your favor. Hopefully, I won't need to use their services for a situation like this again. But for anyone who needs to, I would recommend them 5 times over!

Five Star Service

The Musca Law team provided exceptional advice and counsel to me during a recent legal matter. I appreciate the hard work and support from these fine lawyers. Great job John, to you and your team.

Not legal in FL, What???

Was recently visiting FL and unfortunately found out that possessing even the smallest amount of marijuana is not ok... The whole arrest experience was shocking to me. Was in a state of panic when I found Musca Law. Everyone put me at ease and helped me to go through a deferral program rather than ...court. This was great for me considering being out of state, it allowed me to complete the whole program in my home state. I appreciate all of the work done for me by the Musca Law office. So don't panic, just call them!
