The BEST of the BEST for my 2nd DUI

I had alot going on April 5th, 2018. I just got news that my disabled aunt was diagnosed with cancer. I went out to vent a bit ,and had some drinks. I lost track of my speed and was pulled over for my 2nd DUI. My license was immediately taken away, and a condition of my bond was a restriction that I ...could not leave the county. This was a problem because I was the caretaker for my aunt and was responsible for taking her to her doctor appointments and Cancer Specialist.. My DMV hearing was on May 24th 2018 and I was FACING 18 MONTHS SUSPENSION of my driving privileges. Attorney Rebecca Sonalia represented me on the DMV portion of the case. On the day of the hearing, Rebecca called me with John Musca on the line to inform me they had won my DMV case! I dropped to the floor crying!  Words cannot express how much they care, and all the hard work they have put into my case. They truly went out of their way for me. Now, I can take my aunt to the Cancer Specialist without worries or any issues, and it’s all because of them!!  My heart and gratitude goes out to John Musca and his team for all their efforts!. This whole ordeal has been a roller coaster for me, and they have been by my side through it all! God Bless you for all you have done for me. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY, VERY MUCH, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!!

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!

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.

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.
