Rebecca S. Sonalia

After researching numerous law firms throughout Florida, I decided on Musca Law based on their superior ratings with the BBB and with numerous legal associations and also the multitude of positive testimonials from their clients. Ms. Sonalia contacted me soon after I hired Musca Law to represent ...me for both my DUI criminal defense and administrative hearing with the DMV. She would be my attorney that would fight to get my license back from the DMV for refusal to blow. I have a separate attorney for my criminal defense. Upon our initial consultation, Ms. Sonalia completed and sent off a request to challenge the DUI charge with the DMV which also provided me with a 42 day hardship license. She spent a couple hours explaining all intricacies involved in building my defense. Ms. Sonalia was very upfront from the beginning that these cases, most times, are extremely difficult to win, as it is not a normal court proceeding. After an hour long hearing, the case is deliberated on and then decided by one DMV hearing officer. The threshold for overturning a refusal to blow can sometimes tip to the side of unfairness, because the hearing officer will not fully consider all aspects of the case and default to a nonreversal. If I lost the challenge, I would enter a 90 cold period where I cannot drive whatsoever, after which my license would still be suspended for a year, and I would have to reapply for a hardship license. I fully expected to lose the challenge and started to prepare for how I would live my life without driving anywhere for three months. Ms. Sonalia performed hours upon hours of thorough research into case law in building my defense. She attacked my case from numerous legal angles finding all possible defense opportunities. During the hearing, she rigorously questioned the police officers involved in my arrest and illuminated new pertinent facts not reported in their arrest packet. Using this information coupled with her vast experience and hours of research into similar prior case decisions, Ms. Sonalia illustrated to the DMV Hearing Officer that my DUI arrest did not meet the legal requirements. About a week after my hearing date, the DMV sent back correspondence that the DMV administrative hearing officer decided to overturn my one-year license suspension. I would not be serving my 90 cold period, no more hardship license, and my full driving privileges and license was 100% reinstated. I still have to fight the charge in criminal court, but this first win provides a reassuring sense of hope. I couldn’t be more thrilled about having my driver’s license back. Ms. Sonalia’s professionalism and experience in dealing with thousands of these cases was really showcased in her outstanding performance in my defense. I am so happy to have chosen Musca law to represent me and to have had Ms. Sonalia as my attorney. They are truly the top legal defense team in Florida. Literally the best of the best!

I recently got pulled over in Tampa for running a stop sign and was subsequently charged with a DUI after blowing a .260. Attorney Rebecca Sonalia of Musca Law worked diligently and efficiently to (1) get a temporary permit issued (so that I could continue getting to work), and (2) later won my Admi...nistrative Case to fully restore my driver's license. I'm sure there are many capable attorneys in Florida, but none are as efficient and professional as Attorney Rebecca Sonalia of Musca Law. It is only because of her skill and legal knowledge that I am able to move forward and put these charges behind me. Thank YOU attorney Rebecca Sonalia, words can't express my gratitude for a job WELL DONE!

I was put in contact with Rebecca through Musca Law Firm. She was in charge of my DMV case for a DUI I received. Not only did she WIN the case and get me my license back she was very punctual and helpful. Rebecca stayed on top of what needed to be done. I spoke with her the day after being released f...rom jail, she definitely knew what she was talking about; it was extremely reassuring. She explained my options on going about getting my license and I decided I'd like to fight for my full license back. She got me a hardship license by the time my last 10 days with a full license was up! This gives me 42 days to drive to and from work while court was going on. I figured it would take much longer for a court date to be decided, but she emailed me notifying it would be the following week. I am so grateful for all the hard work and time she put in during that short week. I know she worked hard and prepared well because she WON my case and got my full drivers license back!! I am extremely grateful for all the hard work Rebecca put into my case! I would definitely recommend using her!
