The Real Deal, Real Attorneys, Real Results!!

These guys are really top of the line. They were highly recommended in the State of Florida among all the other reviews of the numerous other law firms that I read and researched. Believe me, I'm an IT professional, and I know how to scour and research a company online, let alone a law firm. The th...ing that struck me the most about Musca Law is how John Musca contacted me directly on my cell phone. it wasn't his secretary, but he contacted me directly to put my mind at ease that he had things under control. I was charged with very serious felony charges that Musca Law was able to get dismissed with no permanent record. Would highly recommend to anyone without reservation.

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 !!!

EXCELLENT!

This firm IS THE ONLY one to call when you need help with a criminal case! What blew me away was how responsive they were. I called them in a panic on a Sunday morning over a holiday weekend and one of their attorneys called me back within the hour! Since this was my first time through this, I fully... expected there would be a lot of back and forth and delays. Not the case at all. Within just a few calls on that very first day, my mind was put at ease. Then, within a reasonable time, they arranged for a dismissal of all my charges! This law firm is responsive, professional, and they get the job done. Forever grateful.,..Anthony

The worst chapter of my life rewritten.

I was charged and arrested for a DUI at the age of fifty three years old. My license was suspended and to make things even worse I held a commercial driver's license. I received my DUI in my personal vehicle but that dosen't matter CDL endorsed drivers are held to a higher standard than the average c...lass E driver. My cdl was also suspended for a year. My life was destroyed as I couldn't work without my cdl.I contacted a few law firms before I stumbled onto Muska Laws website. After reviewing their credentials and speaking with Mr. Muska and some of the lawyers with the firm the choice to retain Muska law was a no brainer. The only firm in Florida that handles cdl liddigation and their unsurpassed at what they do.Theyve had my license reinstated in a very timely fashion. Everything not a hardship license because there's no such thing for a cdl.This firm has the knowledge and the staff to get it done. Very powerful..Might I say again this firm is unsurpassed at what they do. I highly recommend this firm to anyone needing help with a DUI.Especially someone with a cdl and everything is on the line.Thank you so very much Mr.muska and your team you have put my life back on track.

THEY DID THE IMPOSSIBLE! THANK YOU!

John Musca's Law Firm came highly recommended to us by neighbors and folks in my community. The firm accepted our calls well into the evening and gave me the peace of mind that I needed. Since his team has decades of successful experience in handling both legal sides of DUI's ( both the DVM case an...d the criminal case), I felt they were uniquely qualified and in a different league altogether from the other attorneys and firms I interviewed. When I hired the firm, I was unfortunately already past the time limit to challenge my driver's license suspension (due to poor advise that I received from another attorney). Nonetheless, the attorney worked her magic and was not only able to make the challenge happen, but won the case within a short time! I now have my full driving licenses privileges reinstated! I had very serious consequences before me that would have affected my precious family, my professional life and my status as a respectable citizen in the community. They changed my life for the better, forever! I am so grateful for John Musca's Law Firm, as well his caring and professional team of specialized Attorneys and Legal Assistants. I felt they were behind me all the way and left no stone unturned. It really does matter who you hire. Thank You, Thank You!
