Greatly Appreciated And Highly Recommended!

I am a graduate student who hired Musca Law to help me with two serious offenses. The attorney was superb and helped me through a very stressful and emotionally challenging time for me. The entire staff was patient , professional, and stayed in regular contact with me. Within a short time, all my c...harges were dismissed!! Thank You Musca Law for helping me though this ordeal. I would recommend your firm to anyone in need of criminal defense help.

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.

Excellence!

My fiancée was facing a serious felony charge. I couldn't sleep, was scared so began research for criminal attorney late one night. Wrote brief explanation and got a call from attorney Harley first thing. Since then the felony charge was REDUCED to misdemeanor!! We had one chance to get this right a...nd most deserve a second chance. Don't lose hope cuz it's easy to feel helpless and defeated. Hang tough, don't turn on one another and most importantly find a reputable law firm such as Musca Law. Thank you Harley!!

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!
