Exceptional Work

As a New York, resident my research dictated that the Musca Law Firm was the first choice when a family member called me and needed help. This firm had the D.A. experience and the contacts that I was looking for to find resolution for my problem. This firm is first rate, and I have dealt with many, p...rofessional and prompt. As a client, should their services ever be required I would not hesitate. Musca Law gave a young woman a second chance at having her life back. That is worth every penny!

A lawyer who cares so much he will call you on a Sunday!

That's right. John Musca called me on a Sunday. Why? To tell me everything was going to be all right! The first 10 seconds I spoke to him I felt very confident that my case was going to be handled by the BEST. And it wasn't like he called me in the afternoon. John called me around 10 pm, very shor...tly after I decided I was going to choose him as my legal representation. His calm demeanor and positive attitude was enough to settle my nerves and stop worrying about the worst. John assured me that his law firm was very experienced with DUI cases and I could not agree more. He was very reassuring and knowledgeable in explaining the whole process. He even called me back when he said he was going to. For a man with nothing but work to do, this was extremely impressive to me. John told me I was dealing with the best. He took the time to introduce his partners to me (Rebecca Sonalia and David Johnson) and explained their expertise was top notch. Again, he was right about that. He wasted no time getting me a restricted license to get me back out on the road so I could still commute to work. This was extremely important as my job requires a valid driver's license. If you ever find yourself in a jam and need immaculate representation, don't hesitate to give John Musca a call. He will take the time to personally call you and explain what's going on so you never have that fear or worry of uncertainty. John, thank you for all that you've done for me in my time of need. I feel that my case was handled by the best that my finances can allow and I am forever grateful for the thorough and charismatic professionalism offered by your law firm! Thanks again!

BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE IN THE STATE!

John Musca and his team were absolutely amazing in handling my DUI. They got the license suspension dropped and my driver's license reinstated within a week of my arrest. They got the state to drop the charges within 2 weeks of my arrest. His entire team was very responsive and helpful. HIGHLY RECO...MMEND!

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!

YOU SAVED MY CAREER AND PROFESSIONAL LICENSE!!!

I am an accountant, more specifically, an Enrolled Agent. In October 2012, when I was arrested for DUI and blew a .16, I thought my "goose was cooked" and that my career, and my life, were over. I knew my only hope was to hire the best DUI law firm that money could buy. I reviewed firms online a...nd read about Musca Law and their ebook “How to Beat a DUI in Florida,”. I called the firm and was immediately put at ease by a knowledgeable, calm and supportive attorney who was able to convince me Musca Law was the correct choice. The attorney on my criminal case was always available on his direct line to answer my questions and concerns before, during, and after my ordeal. Immediately, he recognized an issue with the lawfulness of the officer pulling me over in the first place, and filed a Motion to Suppress The Stop. His expert presence and cross-examining of the officer during that motion was exceptional and dynamic, just like you see in the movies! Eventually, he won the motion, and the Prosecutor had no choice but to dismiss all the charges against me. Now, my professional license and my ability to earn a living is no longer in jeopardy. My highest praise and recommendation go to Musca Law. Thank You so Much! Dave H, EA
