Monica Cecile Fish

Monica Fish was my third attorney and she hung in there. I refused to admit guilt to a misdemeanor possession charge of marijuana. I was not guilty and there was no marijuana in my vehicle. Everyone wanted me to plead to the "Sweetheart" of a deal the prosecutor had offered and Adjudication would be ...with held and I would owe court costs and attorney fees. She even said it was a good deal; & for most it would have been! But I was thinking of my past that I struggled to build the future I still have; and I was ready to fight! She probably thought a few times I was out of my mind; and ya know what; I was! I didn't think they would budge and she would drop me! But, she didn't even when I text her books at 3 am about the horror this was causing me. I have a profound respect for her and her way of handling every time they kept dismissing what we asked for. She caught the officer in lie after lie on the stand and when we asked for a dismissal on grounds they couldn't deny; they dropped the charges the morning of court! If you know you're not guilty; do your own home work; find the money to fight! Stand up for your rights and when you need someone who understands the court procedures and how to navigate the bureaucracy; I highly recommend you get this small sweet VIPER; to do your bidding! She will keep you in line while she fights for your freedom! I cannot express how she gave me passion for my rights; and stood beside me when the rest of the world would see my business name and reputation destroyed! I am still a federal contract employee and Successful Business Owner thanks to the Endurance this woman has! Thanks Monica for believing in me!

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.

Monica was very friendly and very very patient with us during the entire legal issue. She explained everything (sometimes multiple times), due to our state of minds during this. We were able to reach her at anytime ( yes even after hours) with any questions we had. She doesn't look intimida...ting at all but beware of her in the court room! Thank you Monica!

I am so thankful Monica took me on as a client! She has a breadth of knowledge and wealth of experience that shows in her work. She was extremely compassionate and respectful of my situation and helped me to win a DUI case against me that was dragging on for numerous years due to my medical issues. M...onica took the time to learn every single detail about my case and my health, she constantly kept me updated about the case and even called me to check on me when I was having health problems. Her due diligence of the facts and her skills definitely shined in court. She successfully argued all the facts of my case in front of a jury, and got a “not guilty” verdict returned. Don’t let her quiet demeanor fool you, this woman knows her stuff and it comes out in the courtroom, you definitely want her on your side!
