Exceptional Work

As a New York, resident my research dictated that the Musca Law Firm was the first choice when a family member called me and needed help. This firm had the D.A. experience and the contacts that I was looking for to find resolution for my problem. This firm is first rate, and I have dealt with many, p...rofessional and prompt. As a client, should their services ever be required I would not hesitate. Musca Law gave a young woman a second chance at having her life back. That is worth every penny!

The best of the best

I was arrested for grand theft after shop lifting less than $354 of items in an old navy store,I then hired a lawyer,who charged me 3500 dollars only to tell me that old navy lost prevention theme,is not cooperating, they wants to Persecute me,at this time he tells me there is nothing for ...him to do except go to trial,and I know I am guilty,because the Camara was there to prove. I then went in search for other lawyers, every one though my case was a lost cause,until I found musca law firm,I spoke to lawyer John musca, he assured me,there is something that can be done, I started to feel hopefull,but still distraught, because I just Lost 3500 dollars and I also have a temporary green card,and I would be sent back to my country if I was convicted. He then set up a meeting where I met with one of his associate, collette Drimmer, who is the most amazing and hard working lawyer I have ever seen and also a beautiful person who makes you feel so comfortable, and never seems to judge you, along with her dedicated secretory Brenda,who is awesome.old navy loss prevention theme gave her the same bull they gave the other lawyers,but she started working from the first time we met, I am so delighted to say,am on the PTI programme, and my case will be dismissed after a year upon successful completion, am such a happy woman,big thank you to these 2in fort Lauderdale office lawyer Collett and secretory Brenda,who did a wonderful job and got me on the program in spite the circumstances. Continue to do your best for others,sometimes we just need that second chance to make things right,lessons learned. BIG THANK YOU.

Great Lawyer, worth every penny.

I selected Musca Law to represent me because of their A Plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and John Musca's perfect 10 lawyer rating with Avvo. I was facing serious charges and as the CEO of a major corporation, I wanted to make sure I made the right decision and hired th...e best lawyer money could buy. John Musca proved to be just that. Within 2 months, he notified me that he had won my case. If you're charged with a crime and your future is important, I recommend you hire a firm like Musca Law with high ratings from respected organizations and a history of proven results. It worked for me. Thanks Mr. Musca.

Legal Miracle Worker

After being charged with suspicion of driving while under the influence and refusal to submit to a breath test, I conducted an extensive search of the internet for a lawyer to assist with my defense. It quickly became apparent to me during my search that Musca Law stood out among all others based on ...their positive client reviews and testimonials, as well as their superb record of no conviction on criminal cases. I took a chance and called on a Saturday morning thinking that, if nothing else, their answering service would take my message. To my surprise, Attorney John Musca answered the phone. This was the first sign which lead me to believe this law firm would be there for me when I needed them. After speaking with Mr. Musca at length about the specifics of my case, I became convinced that his firm offered much more experience and promise for potential than any other lawyer I had interviewed. Attorney Musca indicated he would assign two additional attorneys to assist him on my case, including Attorney Rebecca Sonalia who would serve as my attorney on the DMV Suspension Case. Within a day of retaining the firm, Ms. Sonalia contacted me and immediately went to work on my case with Attorney Musca. Then, within FOUR business days-yes, FOUR days, I received a call from the firm stating my driving privileges had been fully restored and that my suspension had been eliminated! I was in shock as I was told by other attorneys that these cases were very difficult to win and that reinstating my driver's license was virtually impossible. If you do the research like I did, you'll find this legal team offers "light years" more than any other firm. Thank you Attorney Musca, and your staff, for helping me through this most stressful ordeal and winning what appeared to be a lost cause!

Excellence!

My fiancée was facing a serious felony charge. I couldn't sleep, was scared so began research for criminal attorney late one night. Wrote brief explanation and got a call from attorney Harley first thing. Since then the felony charge was REDUCED to misdemeanor!! We had one chance to get this right a...nd most deserve a second chance. Don't lose hope cuz it's easy to feel helpless and defeated. Hang tough, don't turn on one another and most importantly find a reputable law firm such as Musca Law. Thank you Harley!!
