Experts in DUI

The Musca firm helped out with a complicated DUI matter. They had one lawyer on the license side, and one on the criminal side. Both knew their respective area of the law very well, and were able to focus on the most important aspects of the case. Ultimately, it was settled without the hassle and exp...ense of a trial, the result being satisfactory to both parties.

My Research Paid Off For My Second DUI Arrest!

As a young professional, I was charged with a DUI Second Offense with my future hanging in the balance. For my first DUI, my attorney did not represent me to the best of his ability. I therefore knew that, for my second offense, I had to make the right decision and hire the best law firm with a trac...k record to prove it. Immediately after my release, I spent hours researching attorneys and my research kept bringing me back to Musca Law. Upon speaking with Mr. Musca, I immediately felt comforted by his confidence and his refusal to fail me. He explained fully the process and the role each individual team member would play in handling my case. Within the first month, Mr. Musca and his team won my DMV appeal, allowing me to drive with a fully reinstated Driver’s License, without any restrictions. Because this was my second DUI arrest, I regarded this as huge victory because they were able to eliminate entirely an 18 month suspension! I will never forget the phone call I received from Mr. Musca and Attorney Rebecca Sonalia notifying me of the news. My heart was in my stomach, but the win brought me to tears. John Musca and his team ran circles around my previous attorney. In them, I have full confidence, and believe losing is not an option for anyone at this law firm. Thank You, N.P.

Spot On, Brilliant Representation

Thank You Musca Law for everything you have done to help our son! To learn of our son's arrest was extremely unnerving to say the least. Nobody from our family had ever been arrested and, on top of that, we were new to the state of Florida. We didn't know who we could trust and who had a good track... record of getting good results. Luckily for us, once we started asking around, the name John Musca came up quite a few times as the "go to lawyer" on criminal charges. We also had a neighbor who had used Musca Law in the past who also recommended the firm. With that said, I want to say that we can't express our gratitude enough for the great work your firm did! Our son ended up with no criminal conviction whatsoever with his future preserved and his career was protected. Thank You, Thank You! From Cheryl, A truly satisfied mother.

Vicious Cycle of Legal Troubles Finally Over, Thanks to Musca Law

My name is Bill McIntosh, and I am a Disabled Veteran. Several years ago I was honorably discharged from the Armed Forces. Since then, to say my life has been chaotic would be a gross understatement. I have been sent to jail several times, went through a horrific divorce and have suffered a great ...deal due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury. I was on a path to destruction with seemingly no help and no way out. Every time I turned around, I was in trouble again, and had no idea how to break the pattern and get my life back on track. Thanks to Musca Law, a firm I found from a general online Google search, I was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Over the last two years, the firm dedicated three lawyers to my case, one of whom had extensive experience in assisting veterans with legal problems. Now, instead of no options but jail, I actually have a life and obtain daily treatment to help me recover from alcoholism. I’m also learning valuable life skills that allow me to contribute to society and enhance my recovery. This firm is the real deal! I can honestly say if it wasn’t for Musca Law, I would likely be serving an extensive jail sentence. Instead, my medical and addiction needs are being addressed and met on a daily basis. This, in turn, helps me stay out of legal trouble altogether. The attorney has even arranged that all charges against me will soon be completely dismissed! Alas, the endless cycle of my legal problems has been broken! I would recommend Musca Law as an immediate relief to the hand life deals to veterans after war, and would recommend them to anyone in a need of speedy, thorough and effective legal advice and representation on criminal charges.

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.
