Domestic Battery

My life took a turn when I had a dissolution of marriage and my ex partner decided to falsely accuse me of a domestic battery. I've never had any criminal record in my background working for the federal government and military. This was a situation where I thought my sacrifices and my life was going ...to basically be over due to someone wanting to do damage to a person just for the impulsiveness of a marriage not working out. I initially called Musca Law in reference to my case and initially attached me to another criminal defense attorney who I felt very uncomfortable due to her just shaming her law office and discouraging me from this case. She made it seem like I was going to be convicted even after I explained that I had enough evidence to demonstrate the lies my ex partner was accusing me of. I immediately called Musca Law and explained the situation and were very understanding and professional and told me to not worry that there were going to assign my case to another criminal attorney by the name of Monica Fish who they had told me was one their top criminal attorneys in Polk County. Skeptical at first due to my initial experience I explained the situation she immediately explained the next steps that would happen and I really could not thank her more for not only her professionalism, but also her extensive knowledge and quick responsiveness. There are many website that tell you that the reviews here do not matter but I can certify in all honesty and truth that even when I was also skeptical of everything I can say that Monica Fish has all these great reviews for a reason. I would not hesitate to hire her if ever needed again. Outcome of my situation was state attorneys reviewed our evidence case was dismissed and charges were dropped. My life was given back to me and I can now resume on progressing in my careers as a service member and federal employee. Thank you so very much again for your service Monica Fish.

Thought of legal approaches we didn't know about. And, actions our DUI lawyer didn't pursue

The Difference Maker

I would like to say my experience with my lawyer Monica fish was great. I felt that she was a great listener. And for someone who I did not meet until the day of my trial I felt like I knew her from the experiences that I had over the phone with her. She kept me informed as of much of her knowledge w...ith the information that she had received. At first I was a little nervous but she gave me the confidence that hiring the right attorney was a good idea and I believe that's what I got out of Monica. My particular case to me it seemed like it was a no-brainer of what the outcome should be but as she explained to me kind of how the system works and the flaws that can happen and the worst of the outcome that could have happened. She was straight up with me she was honest, she was ready to fight for me. She was on the ball with the little bit of time that we had because of my case being moved to a sooner date than what the state told us would be. She was ready to go with the little amount of time that we had to prepare. And I believe if we had to go to a full extent of a trial Monica would have been the Difference Maker in my particular case.

Wonderful person to have on your side

Monica did a wonderful job taking care of what was a very stressful case. She was able to bring the case to a very agreeable resolution and overcame all adversity we faced in the two years this case was open. Monica proved to be very reliable and knowledgeable. I would rate 6 stars if the option was ...available.

2nd Degree Felony Sexual Battery, Not Guilty

Monica picked up my case and was passionate about finding out the true story. Once she understood the situation, she was able to represent the story in trial. We never considered any plea bargain and went to trial. She was able to represent the story as it was and the jury was able to see through ...the deception of the state and self serving testimonies. This is a life changing experience and I never wish anything like this on anyone. Being falsely accused is a real deal and no one felt the need to question it objectively. There is an incredible amount of bias in the judicial system and you need to have someone like Monica who will do everything she can to represent the truth, keep you updated, and point out the bias and criticize it! She was able to do this and the results speak for itself! Not Guilty!
