About Anthony
Biography
I am a full time criminal defense lawyer who decided to move with my family to Fergus Falls and raise our family. My entire career has been dedicated to representing people charged with state and federal crimes, including DUI. My experience has taken me all over Minnesota to represent my clients.
Within my practice, I have tried numerous different kinds of cases to juries, received a not guilty verdicts, obtained hosts of dismissals of cases, suppressed key pieces of evidence, prevented cases from being charged out through vigorous private investigations, and have engaged in very favorable plea negotiations.
You need a fighter in your corner and I will be there for you.

One of the best
Tony was absolutely awesome throughout my legal process. He took the time to explain in layman's terms what was happening, what to expect; sometimes even multiple times because I was new to the entire process. I hope to never have to go through anything similar to this in the future but if I do, I...

Need an Attorney, look no further.
Represented me in a BWI case, and did an excellent job of representing me.

Tony Bussa, review
Tony impressed me the second I met him. Totally professional, but at the same time able to relate. I would recommend him to anyone and have to many of my friends. One of the better guys I've met. I don't think that everyone can say that about their lawyer.
