Wonderful experience

I had really wonderful experience with him. We had green card application with USCIS. Throughout the process i experienced that he is very professional, punctual and responsible lawyer. Every time when we asked to him for early morning appointments, he was there on time. On the day of interview also ...I appreciate his professional way of handling the case. I will definitely recommend him.

Awesome Lawyer

Called Mario for a quick consult and ended up hiring him even faster. Needed someone for an ongoing immigration case at a cruise port. Mario was very knowledgeable and advised us of all the available options. He even offered to come to the port right away if needed. He was extremely responsive during... the whole process and regularly returned phone calls and email messages. He would also follow up regularly just to give us the status of the case. Definitely a five star lawyer. If needed, I would definitely hire him again.

Personal experience with Mario as my Immigration attorney

Mario from the day I met him was very informative to me as far as my case goes. From the beginning I knew I had a slim to no chance of winning my case against the immigration laws, but I knew I had a fighting chance because I had a great attorney who was willing to fight for me and was ready to take ...the case as far as he was able to in order for me to stay in this country. When I was incarcerated mario called me at the county jail every single week keeping his promise of keeping me updated and informed on the happenings of my case. I have heard many stories of attorneys from other people. How they show up to court unprepared, without the right paperwork, staying silent when they should be fighting for their clients. Many stories about attorneys just not doing their jobs and letting their clients down. Just doing it for another check. But Mario Musil is a true example of a great, hard working attorney who truly cares for his clients. He showed my family and I that he was genuinely concerned for the outcome of my case and that he very much wanted me to be able to come back to my family once again. I am so thankful for my family having found mario to represent me in my fight against immigration laws. I am sure that without his help I would surely have been deported and been sent back to my country of birth. I would highly recommend mario in any circumstance or situation where a person might need an attorney. My family and I are forever in gratitude toward Mario's hard work.

Excellent representation and very trustworthy. 100% satisfied.. Highly recommended.

Mario Musil was very professional from the initial consultancy until the satisfactory outcome of our case. In fact, we checked out another lawyer in our area that had a significantly cheaper fee but was not knowledgeable about our case, immigration law, or even the fees related to immigration applica...tions. From our perspective, we were willing to pay more for the security of Mario's knowledge, professionalism, detail orientation, and experience. Mario was upfront with what he required from us to process our case, the cost of hiring him, financing options, and expectations. He even met with us a second time, after the initial consultation, free of charge so that we may ask additional questions before deciding to hire him. While his fee was slightly higher than what we could have afforded, we decided to hire him, with a little help from our family, and have not regretted it. Mario was with us from day 1. He asked us to gather the required documents and gave us a detailed list of what we needed to gather. After we turned over all the documents to him, he promptly and accurately prepared our application and called us in to sign. After all the applications were signed, he sent them to the immigration office without any delay. Any communication from Immigration officials, Mario would relay to us by email. He was very attentive to our case and answered all of our questions (And there were quite a few questions!) Our case took roughly 6-7 months from application to receipt of our green card. We want to thank Mario for his dedication, handwork, attentiveness, professionalism, knowledge, and communication. We want to thank him especially for his willingness to deal with our nervousness and worries. He went above and beyond his responsibilities by making sure that we understood the process and answered any questions we may possibly think of.

Excellent Lawyer

Mario handled my wife's petition to become permeant resident very professionally. All our questions were answered in a timely fashion. Mario even went above and beyond his duties by going to get documents from the court house on our behalf. We will use his services again should the need arise.

"I have had to the opportunity to get to know Mario Musil over the past several years. When I was a prosecutor at the State Attorney's Office, I had several cases against Mr. Musil. I found him to be professional, courteous, and a zealous advocate for his clients. He was diligent in the preparation of his cases, and was not afraid to "think outside the box" to work towards a mutually beneficial case resolution. Mario has also demonstrated his service to the community, and I am excited to see him lead the Brevard Bar Foundation in the coming year."
