This review concerns the crimes that the following attorney's, from the following office locations, committed against me: John Musca: Naples, FL 1st Chair & Owner of Musca Law FL Bar #163155, Office No.: (239) 793-5297 Derrick Smith: Jacksonville, FL 2nd Chair & Employee of Musca Law FL Bar # 9679, Office No.: (904) 827-5699 Musca Law tried to get me to sign a gag order that I refused to sign, a copy of which I will happily provide to Yelp, in order to stop me from writing reviews about the crimes they committed against me. I have a plethora of documentation proving that what I say is the absolute truth. Due to Musca Laws crimes against me, I have numerous medical conditions, the worst of which are as follows. I have had 2 operations, am in need of a 3rd, and suffer from a condition called Myoclonus Tinnitus, caused from extreme stress and PTSD from the torture. It sounds like a drum is going off in my head 100 times a minute, that lasts for days on end. It is totally debilitating. I also have an incurable rash on my face that extends from my nose all the way across my forehead that often makes me look unpresentably ugly. I feel ashamed to show my face in public when it is inflamed. The problem with Musca Law is that the crimes they are committing against their clients align with the ambitions of state prosecutors. Judges have created case law that make them immune from the crimes they commit against their clients, just like police often get away with crimes they commit against citizens, and just like prosecutors are immune for the actions they commit during official duties. They can lie, cheat, and steal from their clients with no repercussions. In fact, they can't be charged with perjury for lying to the court, because they're never sworn in. According to case law, attorneys can lie to the courts all they want, even when those lies result in their client losing their freedom for the rest of their lives, or worse being put to death by the state. Two of Musca Laws attorneys quit because of what John Musca and Derrick Smith did to me. Feel free to contact them, as they will tell you the same things I am telling you here. Just tell them I am the client they quit Musca Law because of. Their contact information is as follows, according to the Florida Bar: Attorney Laura Rodgers FL Bar # 122490, (407) 218-4932 She said to me, "you're not the only one they did this to." She told Fletcher Law that John Musca would laugh about the crimes they commit against their clients. It's funny to him. Attorney Derek Maines FL Bar # 107192, (904) 354-5645 He said, "they were doing this to everyone." I hired Musca Law to represent me on April 19, 2018. The initial fees included a $15,000 retainer, a $10,000 trial fee, and several thousand dollars in miscellaneous fees that they nickle and dimed me with, including $1500 for a psychological evaluation. On May 10, 2022, after I alerted John Musca that Attorney Derrick Smith was not doing his job, Derrick Smith then lied to the courts to have me illegally incarcerated. He told the courts that his office informed me that I had a court date. That was a lie. The last time I talked to Derrick Smith, he told me that he would let me know the next time I had to be in court, but he never let me know. He had the courts arrest me with a lie. Derrick Smith then quit a few weeks after he had me illegally incarcerated, and I never spoke with John Musca again. He just left me in jail. I thought they were going to leave me there forever, and still think they had every intention of doing so. According to Attorney Derek Maines, "they were doing this to everyone." While I was in jail, John Musca was steadily extorting money out of my father without my knowledge. He charged my father an additional $25,000 trial fee that I already paid for, along with several thousand dollars worth of other items that I already paid for as well, including another $1150 for a fake psychological evaluation. It was just another lie to extort another $1150 for something they never intended on doing. I can provide receipts. After being in jail for about a year, I wrote a Florida Bar Complaint with a jailhouse pen that barely worked, which proved that Derrick Smith lied to have me put there. Attorney Laura Rodgers helped me get out by testifying and writing a letter to the court explaining what happened. Derrick Smith's former legal secretary also wrote a letter to the court explaining what Derrick Smith was doing, and I was released after 427 days. I can provide these letters to Yelp, as well as the court transcripts of Laura Rodgers' testimony. I then fired Musca Law. Fletcher Law got my charges dropped in 6 months. This cost me $160,000, 427 days illegally incarcerated, life evaporated, house lost, car lost, career lost, mother of my child died, favorite dog died, and life prematurely shortened, all because of the crimes that Musca Law "does to everyone," according to Attorney Derek Maines. Not Guilty! read more

My Musca attorney was absolutely amazing at my license hearing! When that hearing started, I didn't think that there was any way in **** that I would be allowed to keep my license until the trial started. The testimony that my DUI lawyer gave was very charismatic, and very convincing, and I guess it warmed that judges heart, because he finally showed signs of relenting and said that I would be allowed to keep it at the end. I feel like things would have gone very differently if I had not hired the DUI attorney that I did. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do at the trial. read more

Musca Law was a very useful friend during my trial, but I think that I'm most grateful for their help at my license hearing. I'm drive a big rig, and losing my license before the trial would have meant losing months of wages. My DUI attorney (http://www.jacksonvilledui.com/) was able to convince the judge to allow me to retain my license until the court date. He didn't slack off at the trial either; I was able to make a very advantageous plea. read more

I have never had a bad experience with Musca Law, and I have worked with them 5-6 times in Jacksonville now. I work in the Repo business, and people are always trying to charge me with different crimes for just doing my job. My criminal attorney from Musca Law has always been able to make sure these charges don't make it to trial. The one time that they did, he was able to get the case dismissed very early on in the process. read more

Musca handled my stalking charge in Jacksonville. I wanted to avoid a conviction by any means possible, and Musca was the only law firm in town that had the guts to try and offer me that. They were able to beat the charges based on violations committed by the police in investigating me. After some negotiations with prosecutors, I was not required to do anything but agree to a voluntary restraining order. read more

I am positive that my attorney from Musca is the only reason that I was allowed to keep my license even after my second DUI. Losing this license would have ruined me completely, and I'm glad my attorney was able to work with that need even when it looked nearly impossible. I intend to never drink and drive again, but if I'm ever in trouble, Musca will be my first call. read more

It was a mistake to drive drunk in Jacksonville, but it wasn't a mistake that I couldn't afford to lose my license over. My DUI attorney from Musca Law understood that, and he turned all his talent and attention to making sure that I wasn't going to lose my license as part of the penalties. He was successful and I was able to drive away from the courtroom. read more
