Amazing Law Firm

After being arrested for a DUI, my father got in contact with Musca Law Firm. He decided they would be perfect to represent my case. The day I got released from jail I was shocked when my father said I had a phone call with the lawyers. It was late on a Sunday afternoon, I was definitely not expectin...g to speak with a lawyer right then and there. I'm extremely grateful that they took my call that Sunday evening, not many places are open on Sundays. It calmed my nerves so much to speak with them and be told how the whole process is done. Everyone at the firm is extremely knowledgeable. There was never a point in time where I was unaware of how things were going and there was never any unanswered questions. They did their work and kept me up to date around my work schedule. I was back on the road immediately after the incident with a hardship license and within a month I was back on the road with full driving privileges. I'm very happy my dad chose them to help with my case.

DIVINE INTERVENTION ON DUI 2ND!! HALLELUJAH FOR MUSCA!!

I'm a Registered Nurse. During Easter week of March, 2013, I was stopped, arrested, and confined for my 2nd DUI. With my nursing and driver's licenses at stake, I began looking online for lawyers and information on how I could protect my professional license and ability to drive. ... On Easter Sunday, of all days, I was able to make immediate contact with John Musca of Musca Law. I was beyond believing anyone could help me, but he assured me he had, what he believed to be, the best DUI lawyers in the state who could. I was impressed by his confidence and reassurance that all was not lost, and equally impressed he was so available to me on a holiday. Immediately, they obtained for me a permit to drive, even though my DUI ticket said I was NOT eligible for a permit! I was then able to drive and tend to my patients needs while they worked on reinstating my full driver's license. Then, within 4 weeks on me contacting them, I received notice my Driver's License had been fully reinstated on account of a tactical decision not to subpoena a certain witness at the DMV hearing! Now I can drive, and practice my trade without compromise. Trust me, these people are worth every dime! They have a system of attorneys who are experts in the field working together and they get things done! Personally, I believe in divine intervention and Mr Musca and his team have been that intervention for me. Hallelujuh! And thank You, with all my heart and soul!

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!!

Highly Recommend John Musca

At the time of my DUI arrest, I had just moved to Florida and did not know anyone to ask for advice on whom to go to for legal representation. I did some research on DUI attorneys and came across Musca Law Firm. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical of hiring an attorney without a personal referr...al but my skepticism was immediately met with relief. Within hours of contacting Musca Law Firm, I was introduced to the team of attorneys and legal professionals that would be handling my case. Rebecca Sonalia represented me during the DMV hearing. After meticulous examination of my arrest packet, Ms. Sonalia was able to find a problem with how the officer handled my arrest. She brought her findings before the hearing officer in my DMV hearing and made a motion to lift the suspension. She was able to back up her argument quoting from several other cases that were similar to my own. This resulted in full reinstatement of my license. Jessica Ventura, assistant to Ms. Sonalia, walked me through the entire DMV process and made it easy to understand. She answered all of my questions, no matter how trivial (even on the weekend). In addition, both Ms. Sonalia and Ms. Ventura have taken time out of their evenings (after hours) to work around my schedule. John Musca and The Musca Law team have all the attributes that I was looking for in a Law Firm: knowledge and seasoned experience, professionalism, integrity, strategic thinking, enthusiasm, effective communication, and responsiveness. I feel that my case was handled aggressively, ethically, and efficiently. I HIGHLY recommend Musca Law Firm to anyone in need of legal representation.

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!
