Legal Miracle Worker

After being charged with suspicion of driving while under the influence and refusal to submit to a breath test, I conducted an extensive search of the internet for a lawyer to assist with my defense. It quickly became apparent to me during my search that Musca Law stood out among all others based on ...their positive client reviews and testimonials, as well as their superb record of no conviction on criminal cases. I took a chance and called on a Saturday morning thinking that, if nothing else, their answering service would take my message. To my surprise, Attorney John Musca answered the phone. This was the first sign which lead me to believe this law firm would be there for me when I needed them. After speaking with Mr. Musca at length about the specifics of my case, I became convinced that his firm offered much more experience and promise for potential than any other lawyer I had interviewed. Attorney Musca indicated he would assign two additional attorneys to assist him on my case, including Attorney Rebecca Sonalia who would serve as my attorney on the DMV Suspension Case. Within a day of retaining the firm, Ms. Sonalia contacted me and immediately went to work on my case with Attorney Musca. Then, within FOUR business days-yes, FOUR days, I received a call from the firm stating my driving privileges had been fully restored and that my suspension had been eliminated! I was in shock as I was told by other attorneys that these cases were very difficult to win and that reinstating my driver's license was virtually impossible. If you do the research like I did, you'll find this legal team offers "light years" more than any other firm. Thank you Attorney Musca, and your staff, for helping me through this most stressful ordeal and winning what appeared to be a lost cause!

DUI attorney

I was pulled over driving erratically late at night. My husband was also on the scene driving his own car. I was instructed by the police to perform sobriety tests. In the meantime, my husband used his cell phone to search for a DUI attorney. He got in touch with John Musca during the early morning h...ours who immediately answered the call and gave my husband important advice on how I should handle the sobriety tests. Immediately thereafter, his firm filed an appeal to challenge the suspension of my Driver's License. We have been working with Musca Law for the last month and just today they informed me that the attorney was successful winning my case and getting my Driver's License back!!. I'm very satisfied with my legal representation and it all began with John's late night availability and his immediate advice and help. I would recommend Musca Law to anybody who needs a talented and dedicated team of DUI defense lawyers on their side!

Musca Law is the the ONLY firm I have EVER retained in Florida that has exceeded my expectations in EVERY WAY.

Dynamite, is all I can say!! I was arrested for DUI on December 22, 2014. As a successful and well educated business man with an MBA and owner of more than a dozen small businesses, you can imagine I was quite overwhelmed by this arrest. Right away, I began researching DUI firms and came across M...usca Law and was immediately impressed. I called the firm and, much to my surprise, John Musca, the owner of the firm, took my call personally on Christmas Eve! He took at least 45 minutes listening to my story and I immediately decided to retain the firm. I have hired close to 100 lawyers in various corporate management positions and know all about lawyers. I have won two malpractice cases against lawyers in the state of Florida for their complete incompetence. Musca law is THE ONLY firm I have EVER retained in Florida that has exceeded my expectations in EVERY WAY. Not only was the case dismissed before even seeing a judge, their client service and responsiveness is first rate and better than any other firm I have dealt with in 25 years of business. You cannot find a more competent, more responsive, more aggressive, DUI defense team in Florida. As far as hiring attorneys, this was the best decision I ever made!

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!
