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.
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!
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.
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
Thank you Rebecca for not letting my license get taken away. Your constant communication made me feel comfortable and made me feel like I was the most important person to you. Your winning this so quickly also made my life so much easier. You are amazing and you care about people's lives. GOD BLESS YOU.
Rebecca and her team did an amazing job getting my license back after an alleged DUI. She was very helpful explaining the process and made sure I had a good understanding of what she would do. She did a very thorough investigation of my case and kept me up to date whenever anything changed or new details emerged. I'm am so grateful to her for getting my license back.
