“My license was suspended for not submitting enough air for the breath test but Attorney Sonalia won my DMV hearing!”

I can highly recommend Rebecca Sonalia as an attorney for DUI/DMV case I was pulled over and arrested in Marathon Fl on a Friday night. Saturday I got in touch With John Musca of Musca Law. He personally answered his cell phone on a Saturday And made me feel very confident that his team could hand...le the case . He explained that I actually had two cases, one a criminal DUI and the other a civil DMV case. John told me Rebecca Sonalia would handle the DMV portion. My first contact with Rebecca was the following Monday on a conference call . She was very informative and extremely knowledgable about the process and conveyed this to me so as to make sure I knew how we were to proceed. The DMV was late getting information to Rebecca so she did not have time to subpoena the arresting officer nor the technician . After reviewing the arrest package she made the decision to proceed with the hearing as scheduled. She objected to the arrest due to many factors. She also filed several motions that were to my benefit to the point that the State of Fl had no case at all. She won the hearing and got my drivers license back. Throughout the entire process she stayed in constant communication with me via email and phone. Her professionalism and attitude are to be commended. Put Musca Law on speed dial in case this ever to you.

I blew nearly three (3) times the legal limit; however, Attorney Sonalia stood behind me and won my DMV hearing!

I had the pleasure of being represented by Attorney Sonalia, and she was incredible in handling my DMV part of my DUI case. Attorney Sonalia immediately obtained a permit for me to drive to work, school, doctors' appointments, and grocery shopping. She stood behind me all the way and did due dilige...nce in investigating my case. She answered all my questions immediately. Her professionalism and due diligence won my hearing. I would recommend Attorney Sonalia without any hesitation for a DUI case!

Confident Attorney That Will Fight For You

Ms. Sonalia did a fantastic job in my DMV case. She presented many approaches. Constantly kept me informed of what was going on. Notified me of any changes. She was very professional and put the case first. She presented the various options we could take and gave her opinion and reasoning for each, s...aving me time, money and frustration. She was focused on giving me the best result and even called me to inform me of illness, giving us time to issue a continuance and have her unburdened focus and determination. We ultimately got a win due to operational and procedural issues with the breathalyzer prompted by her ability to dig for details and the facts. Highly recommended. You cannot go wrong with choosing her. I cannot praise her follow up and determination enough.

No license suspension.

Since day one I was kept well informed and felt confident everything was being done to protect my driving privileges. When the information was received that my license was to be suspended I was contacted promptly, explained what would happen next and received a permit to drive in Florida within a we...ek. Since I was living in Georgia there was a possibility my license here would be suspended as well if the suspension on my Florida license stuck. Ms. Sonalia found specifics in the law that kept the DMV from suspending my license and built a rock solid argument. I appreciate everything she did and I would fully recommend Attorney Rebecca Sonalia.

“My driver’s license was fully reinstated even though I refused to take the breath test”

My son living in Tampa Florida, while we live in Dallas was very stressful to find out our son was arrested and charged with a DUI and failure to take breath test. We needed a lawyer Quik and one that we could trust from a distance. We are so glad we picked this firm and honestly everything they have... said and predicted had come true so far. I want to say what a relief it is to be so far away and to have a firm representing us that stands behind their promises. Thank you.
