Game Changer.
My family and I are indebted to Mr Musante. I moved to the US in 2006 and was hired by a fortune 500 company, a year later I married a beautiful woman. The future was promising. Early 2012 I made a gross error in judgment and was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor. Being a 45 year o...

Awesome attorney, skillful and trustworthy!!
Finding a good lawyer has to be one of the most stressful experiences anyone can go through. I know; I've been there. I didn't know where to go or who to talk to. After a few days of calling around and getting rude, condescending people on the phone, I decided to go with Shouse Law group, the legal...

One of the best attorneys out there!
I was stopped for a DUI in 2012, I then hired Shouse Law group. Shouse assigned Marcus musante to my case. I was really pleased with the defense Mr. Musante performed for me. He was on top of his game since the beginning of the trial. Excellent in looking for the little things than can be useful in y...
"I've known Mr. Musante for over 10 years. He is an exceptional trial attorney, a fierce advocate, and a deeply invested attorney. I highly recommend him,"
"Marcus and my office work together on criminal cases. We met when he was in the District Attorney's office and we became friends after we reached a favorable disposition for my client. I think Marcus did this because it was the right thing to do under the medical marijuana laws, and even as a prosecutor, he seemed in my experience of him to try to do justice. This is why we are working together (Marcus is of counsel to our office.) Marcus works in San Diego as well as Los Angeles, and is available to see clients and handle business in both regions. I have heard from other prosecutors that Marcus is extremely respected for his courtroom abilities by them, and I believe many are envious of him for being able to be himself at the same time as being considered a lawyer's lawyer, and a great success in the courtroom."
"Excellent criminal defense lawyer. Uses his experience, knowledge of the law, and guts to get his clients great results."
"I worked with Marcus as a Deputy District Attorney and again as private defense counsel. Marcus is extremely bright and an eager advocate on behalf of his clients. He is an all around great guy and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him."
"I worked with Marcus when I was a Deputy District Attorney any years ago and more recently supervised him when I was with a private defense firm. I can tell you hands down that Marcus is one of the best trial lawyers I have ever seen. What was most impressive about Marcus was how easily he transitioned from prosecutor to defense attorney - he won his first 4 jury trials (not easy ones) as a defense attorney, which I know is largely due to his skills as an outstanding trial lawyer."
"Marcus Musante was an extremely talented trial lawyer with the Los Angeles District Attorney's office, who now works as a private criminal defense attorney. I worked against him on several cases when he was a DA, and have worked on the same side with him since he moved to private practice. He is smart, creative, ethical, and a zealous advocate, and I would recommend him without hesitation for any serious criminal matter where you need the best representation possible."
