Facing 18 month 2nd refusal suspension but Attorney Rebecca Sonalia won my dmv hearing and my license is fully reinstated.

I contacted Attorney Sonalia after my license was suspended following a second refusal and she was very timely and professional in her handling of my case. I spoke to her directly when I contacted her agency and she was very thorough and clearly explained all circumstances to me regarding my case. L...osing my license would have been very detrimental to me and could have cost me my job. Her knowledge and work ethic attributed to her getting my second refusal dismissed and I can't thank her enough for the hard work and exceptional results. I would highly recommend her to anyone in a similar situation. Do not hesitate to contact her when you need results. R.L. Powers

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.

I blew over the limit but Attorney Rebecca Sonalia found problems with the evidence and won my DMV hearing!

My brother in-law told me not to go into a DUI charge without a lawyer. I must admit, I went into this DUI case scared to death! I did some homework and decided to hire Musca Law Firm. Mr. Musca called me on a holiday weekend himself. He told me all the key lawyers who will be handling my case. He ...told me Rebecca Sonalia will handle my DMV case. We made contact and she explained everything in great detail. Anytime I had a question she was just an e-mail away. I figured there was no way out of this since I blew over the legal limit. She never gave any false hope. She was open and honest. Once she got the evidence she noticed some problems. She used her judgment and presented my case to the DMV officials. Needless to say.....she WON my case today and my DL is fully restored! I'm extremely happy with the results! I would HIGHLY recommend Rebecca Sonalia to ANYONE! She is not your normal lawyer. She takes each question or concern to heart. She will explain in such detail to make sure you have an understanding and your fully informed. Thank you for all your hard work! I'm very grateful!

I was a person, not a paycheck

I would highly recommend Rebecca. She was thorough in finding all the facts for my case and she was dedicated to helping me as much as she could. She kept me thoroughly informed through the whole process of my DMV case. She knew what she was doing, I never questioned her abilities. I dealt with her o...ver the phone and through emails and not once did she forget who I was or what my situation was. She won my DMV case and 2 days later I had my license reinstated. A lot of information she collected will go on to help my criminal case. I was very pleased with her work.
