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.

NO JAIL TIME ON FIFTH DUI

The John Musca Law Firm is the "Robert Shapiro, Johnny Cochrain and Jose Baez" operation of all Florida Defense Firms. I don't know how your associate Mark Youngblood did it ! I could not have asked for a more thorough, compassionate and downright tenacious attorney to represent me in my fifth DUI... arrest. I could not have imagined a more favorable outcome: Zero jail time and only one year probation ! Thanks for your hard work, Mark, and for the personal advice you gave to me concerning my alcoholism. Thanks to you I'm celebrating 150 days of sobriety this week. I feel great and I'm so hopeful about the future. You saved me in more ways than one. Your Most greatful Client, J.E.

A Man Of His Word Who Restored My Faith In Lawyers!!!!

As a straight "A" health student at University of Florida, I never imagined that I would be arrested and in need of a criminal defense attorney. After being pulled over for driving my friend’s vehicle without the headlights on, I was arrested and charged with a DUI and Refusal to Submit to the Breat...h Test. Naturally, I was concerned about my future and my career. Immediately, I got together with my parents and researched a potential lawyer for my case. With so much at stake, my parents and I knew not just any old lawyer would do. At first, I was skeptical about finding a lawyer online. But, right away, I found immediate comfort and confidence in Attorney John Musca, the owner of Musca Law. He spoke to us for quite some time and explained the process fully, after hours, no less. His passion for his work, and compassion for his clients was undeniable. And he gave me his word I would receive "top notch" representation for my case. After speaking with Attorney Musca, everything fell into place right away. Within days, one of his associates obtained for me a temporary driving permit. Shortly thereafter, the firm won my DMV hearing and my driver's license was immediately reinstated!! By the way, this was the same hearing OTHER attorneys told me was NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to win!! Thanks Attorney Musca, and your brillant team, for keeping your word, protecting my license and restoring my faith in lawyers!!! I would, without question, recommend you and your firm to anyone needing help with a DUI in Florida!!

Excellent Attorney and Law Firm

I would like to take this time to sincerely thank Musca Law firm for their incredible services throughout my case. Their hardworking team worked diligently to ensure an outcome I was happy with. They quickly took the case and navigated me through every twist and turn to the very end. A special Th...ank You to Kerry Bynes, who stayed in continual contact with me step by step to explain this seemingly overwhelming and daunting process. She worked with me on any financial issues I had, questions that may arise, as well as assuring me help with any follow up needs that may arise from this case. Legal matters being brought against you can be a very scary situation, Musca Law Firm did an excellent job of taking away the fear and uncertainty of it all and replacing it with confidence, and a solid understanding of what was happening and what steps to take, all leading up to a positive ending. I highly recommend Musca Law to anybody requiring legal assistance!
