DMV Victory! With .267 BAC

I have nothing but positive things to say about Rebecca and everything that she did for me. I am a General Manager and as a GM I have to do a lot of traveling in order to make a living. I was very concerned when I had gotten pulled over for my DUI because I had two priors in another state within 10... years and I blew a .267. Rebecca had went to the DMV hearing and both officers were subpoenaed and they both showed up to the hearing. Due to Rebeccas tireless work and knowledge she noticed something that was not followed correctly and with that information she was able to get the breath results thrown out for that hearing and WON!! Also, she has set up great ground work for my criminal attorney to try and get the breath results suppressed. I would recommend Musca Law and Rebecca to anyone that need assistance. Thank you so much!

Got my license back and saved my career because of this amazing law firm!

To give a brief overview i am being charged with a refusal to DUI, because i refused the breathalyzer test. I also moved here from New York a year ago and had still not gotten around to getting a Florida Driver's License when i was stopped by the Police. I was pulled over on the side of the road, not... driving my vehicle, and lets just say it was the night the Tampa Bay Lightning were playing the New York Rangers and i am a big hockey fan....so i refused a breathalyzer which is suppose to be an AUTOMATIC SUSPENSION OF LICENSE FOR 1 YEAR! I was very worried and was not sure what to do when i heard this information so i was gratefully put in touch with Musca Law firm and who handled the suspension and DMV side of my case was Rebecca. It was about 30 days after the incident and let me just say Rebecca pulled off a miracle. I was not sure what i should do if i should fight my license suspension and Rebecca gave me the two options, and one was a very risky one. I...being a risk taker and fighter wanted to fight the suspension and once i came to a decision Rebecca hit the ground running. Let me just say my experience with Rebecca was amazing and she is the reason why i have my license back. It was a very easy quick process for me as Rebecca put all the hard work in. Will recommend this law firm to anybody and Thank you again Rebecca for getting me full license privileges and pulling off a miracle!

Best Outcome from a Terrible Situation

I'm a young professional working in Naples, FL. I was pulled over for a dui, blew a .19 and Musca Law helped me not only get my license right back but got my DMV case completely dropped!!! Rebecca made sure to fight for me and the results proved it! I couldn't be happier with the outcome:)

FANTASTIC RESULTS FAR EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!!

Having never been arrested prior to this DUI and never having to require the services of a criminal defense attorney previously, I am grateful I did my research and selected the team at Musca Law to represent me. A shining star on this team is Rebecca Sonalia, an astute and perceptive attorney who tr...eated my case as if I were her only client. Rebecca’s insight to the applicable laws and shrewd utilization of the same resulted in full DMV driving privileges reinstated without a ticket, without points, without restrictions, and without revocation. The entire process took about 6 weeks to complete and had it not been for a holiday immediately following the DMV hearing I would have never been without driving privileges of any sort. Once I contacted Musca Law, my DMV case was turned over to Rebecca Sonalia for a full on fight with DMV to retain my driver’s license. First up, Rebecca spoke with me to understand my concerns and needs during this difficult experience. Next, she explained the possible scenarios to defend against this charge and the potential outcomes of each course of action. Once the game plan was decided upon, it reminded me of one of my all-time favorite quotes by Fiorello H. La Guardia, Former Mayor of New York City: “It makes no difference if I burn my bridges behind me - I never retreat.” From the moment the decision was made to wage a full on defense of my DMV violation resulting from a breathalyzer refusal, with Rebecca leading the assault I was confident nothing would be overlooked, no bridge left behind standing, as we moved forward defending against this allegation. Though this was personally one of the more difficult situations of my life, it was also one of the easiest. From the application for a restricted driving permit, to communication, to court appearances, I had to do nothing. Everything was taken care of by Rebecca and her amazing staff. The only thing I had to do during this entire time was go to the DMV and pick up my FULLY REINSTATED DRIVER’S LICENSE!!

This lawyer performs legal miracles, you need search no further.

After being charged on 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 and selected the law firm of Musca Law based on their positive reviews and superb record of no convictio...n for DUI’s. I was assigned Ms. Rebecca Sonalia as my attorney for the DMV Suspension. Ms. Sonalia contacted me and immediately went to work on my case. I was informed of everything that would need to be completed and the approximate timeframe in which the legal and administrative actions would take to go through the system. Within four business days, yes, four days, I received a call from Ms. Sonalia stating my driving privileges were fully restored, there was NO suspension; I was in shock as I was expecting a minimum of one year suspension for a refusal to submit to a breath test. YOU ROCK REBECCA!!!!
