Above & Beyond

Tony Bussa exceeded my expectations tremendously. I still have one court hearing to attend but he's earned already earned a solid 5-star rating in my book. I was facing over half a dozen felony level charges and nearly the same amount in gross misdemeanors. As long as I can keep my nose clean and my ...eyes on the prize I'll have no more time to serve, leaving me with just some probation to tackle and leave behind me in a cloud of dusty memories.

Thank you Anthony

I was charged with a very serious felony. I committed the worst crime a man, husband, father could, I was a wreck from the start of my arrest. Anthony was referred to us and I'm glad to this date that he's a Lawyer and represented me. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer who not only knows the law, ...works hard, dedicated, professional but also has that ability to look and see the client has a person and the help they need, not only legal but personal help. I felt strongly that Anthony cared about me as a person regardless of my crime. Anthony not only represented me legally but also guided me to get the help I needed so that I could get back on my feet as a man, husband and father. Because of Anthony I feel positive about myself and am heading in the right direction, healthy direction. Because of Anthony hard work, knowledge, dedication my sentence was STAYED, 3 years probation and reduced down from a felony after my probation ends. Anthony always stayed in contact with me. He always returned my calls, emails, and txt's no matter what the time was or day of the week. I could always count on Anthony. I wouldn't hesitate a bit to recommend him to anyone. Thanks Tony!

great outcome

In the end everything turned out in the best case senerio. It took longer than I expected it to, but Anthony had told me in the beginning that it probally would take some time. Anthony was willing to take my case all the way if i wanted it too. Although he got the best settlement i believe we cou...ld have gotten. long story short i would recommended Anthony to anyone, he was great

Needing a dismissal

I needed a dismissal!!! Charged with a crime I didnt comit and scared out of my mind is where I found myself. A father, an employee, and a good name were all things I had on the table to loose not to mention my freedom, all for something I didn't do, I was very afraid!! After hiring Anthony and his t...eam things got better immediately, I knew I had quality representation. I'm not going to bore you with the drawn out details but I can tell you Anthony took my cases step by step, motion by motion until the DA had no choice but to completely drop the charges due to lake of evidence. Anthony is an excellent attorney who you can trust will get the results you need and stand behind you from the minute you retain his services. Thank you again Tony!!
