Rebecca and musca law are some of the best attorneys I have ever had the privilege to work with. Rebecca is really devoted to the best possible outcomes for her clients. She took the time to explain everything to me all through put my case, ensured that no stone was left unturned, and kept in constant communication with me through put the whole process. I never had to question what she was doing or how far along we were or what the next steps were because rebecca made sure I was in the know and felt comfortable with everything. On top of all of that WE WON! I will always recommend Rebecca and musca law to everyone I know as they are the best.

I had alot going on April 5th, 2018. I just got news that my disabled aunt was diagnosed with cancer. I went out to vent a bit ,and had some drinks. I lost track of my speed and was pulled over for my 2nd DUI. My license was immediately taken away, and a condition of my bond was a restriction that I could not leave the county. This was a problem because I was the caretaker for my aunt and was responsible for taking her to her doctor appointments and Cancer Specialist.. My DMV hearing was on May 24th 2018 and I was FACING 18 MONTHS SUSPENSION of my driving privileges. Attorney Rebecca Sonalia represented me on the DMV portion of the case. On the day of the hearing, Rebecca called me with John Musca on the line to inform me they had won my DMV case! I dropped to the floor crying! Words cannot express how much they care, and all the hard work they have put into my case. They truly went out of their way for me. Now, I can take my aunt to the Cancer Specialist without worries or any issues, and it’s all because of them!! My heart and gratitude goes out to John Musca and his team for all their efforts!. This whole ordeal has been a roller coaster for me, and they have been by my side through it all! God Bless you for all you have done for me. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY, VERY MUCH, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!!

I knew Rebecca was good from the start. She is the kind of lawyer who dots her I and crosses her T. She had a strategy, using logic and intuition. She got to the truth on what happened that fateful night when I was stopped by the police. I was traumatized. This reversal of the suspension goes a long way in helping me heal. Thanks Rebecca Sonalia. Joyce

I hired Rebecca S. Sonalia for a DUI case and was very pleased with the outcome! She managed to win the case and get my license back that the police took from me! She knows the laws very well and I highly recommend her.

In March of 2017 Rebecca represented me in court for a citation I received for DUI and my license was suspended for 1 year.
After she gather all the evidence and put together her defense case and presented it to the courts. She was able to have my suspension delayed until the actual DUI case is heard. That's an amazing feat and most appreciated. Now I can get my actual Drivers License re-instated. I am most grateful and if anyone needs a Great DMV lawyer Rebecca Sonalia is the one you MUST have.

OK, these are good people, out-of-state and two embarrassed to call my own lawyer so I took a flyer. I was not impaired, exercised my fifth amendment not to blow, and got grossly abused. Muska law dotted their i's crossed their t's, beat a very prejudiced system and my license was rapidly restored. I recommend them, especially Rebecca Sonalia without reservation, very happy.

Rebecca is simply amazing! In a time of great stress and worry for me, she accomplished the unbelievable. Using her experience and expertise she picked through my arrest packet and found a fault in the arrest procedure. This allowed her to present a strong case to the DMV securing a win and the reinstament of my license. Couldnt have asked for a better fighter!

She was successful in getting my driving privileges reinstated which was HUGE for me as I am a business owner and my driving privileges are very important for me AND my family's income. I had lost my driving privileges automatically for a year when I refused a breathalyzer test. I am so happy that we found this law firm who actually has one attorney that works on the DMV side and that is all she does so she is knows the ins and outs of how the DMV works. If you have any chance of beating the automatic suspension, it will be if you hire Rebecca who will tell you what your chances are of getting reinstated as well as if there isn't much she can do based on your case. She clearly states that there are no guarantees but because of her knowledge, she can give you her assessment to the best of her ability. I highly recommend Atty. Rebecaa and Musca Law

After previously dealing with the harsh reality of a DUI license suspension, my hopes were not very high for winning a 2nd refusal appeal. From the moment I retained Musca Law, Rebecca and her team has provided me with the representation one could only hope for. Ms. Sonalia provided me with a clear understanding for the DMV appeals process. On the day of my appeal hearing I received a call from Ms. Sonalia and Mr. Musca, with butterflies in my stomach I answered the call. As a 2nd refusal is very difficult to overcome, I was not expecting to hear that she WON the appeal and my license has been fully reinstated. I still am currently fighting the criminal DUI charge but am confident in the Musca Law team to represent my best interests.

After researching numerous law firms throughout Florida, I decided on Musca Law based on their superior ratings with the BBB and with numerous legal associations and also the multitude of positive testimonials from their clients.
Ms. Sonalia contacted me soon after I hired Musca Law to represent me for both my DUI criminal defense and administrative hearing with the DMV. She would be my attorney that would fight to get my license back from the DMV for refusal to blow. I have a separate attorney for my criminal defense. Upon our initial consultation, Ms. Sonalia completed and sent off a request to challenge the DUI charge with the DMV which also provided me with a 42 day hardship license. She spent a couple hours explaining all intricacies involved in building my defense.
Ms. Sonalia was very upfront from the beginning that these cases, most times, are extremely difficult to win, as it is not a normal court proceeding. After an hour long hearing, the case is deliberated on and then decided by one DMV hearing officer. The threshold for overturning a refusal to blow can sometimes tip to the side of unfairness, because the hearing officer will not fully consider all aspects of the case and default to a nonreversal. If I lost the challenge, I would enter a 90 cold period where I cannot drive whatsoever, after which my license would still be suspended for a year, and I would have to reapply for a hardship license. I fully expected to lose the challenge and started to prepare for how I would live my life without driving anywhere for three months.
Ms. Sonalia performed hours upon hours of thorough research into case law in building my defense. She attacked my case from numerous legal angles finding all possible defense opportunities. During the hearing, she rigorously questioned the police officers involved in my arrest and illuminated new pertinent facts not reported in their arrest packet. Using this information coupled with her vast experience and hours of research into similar prior case decisions, Ms. Sonalia illustrated to the DMV Hearing Officer that my DUI arrest did not meet the legal requirements. About a week after my hearing date, the DMV sent back correspondence that the DMV administrative hearing officer decided to overturn my one-year license suspension. I would not be serving my 90 cold period, no more hardship license, and my full driving privileges and license was 100% reinstated. I still have to fight the charge in criminal court, but this first win provides a reassuring sense of hope.
I couldn’t be more thrilled about having my driver’s license back. Ms. Sonalia’s professionalism and experience in dealing with thousands of these cases was really showcased in her outstanding performance in my defense. I am so happy to have chosen Musca law to represent me and to have had Ms. Sonalia as my attorney. They are truly the top legal defense team in Florida. Literally the best of the best!
