Anthony Bussa is the lawyer you need to have on your side

I was forced to hire an attorney because of an HRO violation. I researched and looked over a half dozen attorneys and somehow found Anthony Bussa. I couldn't be any more grateful that I did. The outcome of this case doesn't matter. What does matter is this: Tony is very passionate about his work and... about getting the best possible outcome for you. It always felt as though Tony fought tooth and nail for me every step of this whole judicial process. He was always in my corner and he is always at the top of his game. If there's a better Attorney out there outside of a sitcom or a movie, I haven't met them, and I doubt anyone who has consulted/hired/heard about Anthony Bussa has either.

Highly Recommended

Mr. Bussa is very professional. I was facing a second DWI charge in 10 years. I called Mr. Bussa and explained what had happened. He was quick to assure me that my life was not over. He explained what would likely happen and what he could do for me. If Tony, tells you something he keeps his word. Ton...y got me the best possible out come I could have hoped for. No County Jail time, reduced fine and reduced/limited probation. He is number one in my book and I highly recommend him. Nice guy and easy to talk to.

I was referred to Anthony Bussa to defend my child

My child was in need of an attorney for a serious crime in Minnesota. I spoke to a bail bondswoman about who in the area of Fergus Falls would she hire if her child was in a similar situation. The woman told me without questions Anthony Bussa would be her choice. During the past 2 years, Anthony B...ussa has defended my child, and he has done an outstanding job. He has always been responsive to my calls. It was very apparent early on that Attorney Bussa had the respect of the legal community in Fergus Falls. Attorney Bussa has been very informative about what to expect during court appearances. During the trial, Attorney Bussa demonstrated command of the courtroom with his knowledge of the law and his ability to work with the district attorney and the judge. I would strongly recommend Attorney Bussa. RMM

charged with 2 Felonies

I was facing 2 felonies and 2 misdemeanors and felt very overwhelmed and hopeless. After my first meeting with Mr. Bussa I felt 100 % better. He explained my charges to me and the possible outcomes, helping me to understand the severity of my case and the definite need for an attorney. He always r...esponded to my texts and phone calls and was great about explaining things that I didn't understand. He made promises to me and kept them. I finished up with my case and did no jail time and have no felonies thanks to Anthony. As this was my first time being in serious trouble with the law I was very anxious and scared. He made me feel at ease and made the whole process easier and less traumatic. I would definitely recommend Anthony Bussa for any of your criminal needs.

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.
