The FL Law Board requires multiple complaints before taking any action on an attorney, otherwise it's an isolated incident. Escrow monies are the exception. Please take the time to file your complaint. John Musca is an excellent marketer, but after you agree to hire him for your attorney, it's all over. Better to go to the court and plead guilty, you'll fare better and won't be out thousands of dollars. You'll be guilty anyways. He will tell you a flat fee (which is more than the most respected attornies in town get), even tell you it includes trial, if necessary, but it's not true. At the last minute he will tell you he never said that, he never said a lot of things he does say. The only thing this law firm does is plea cases, it's the plan the minute you give him your money. They will not look into any defense evidence, but rather tell you it might be best not to. They will not make motions to preserve state evidence, so when you need that evidence, it's no longer there. He never needed it anyway because the plan all along was to plea bargain depending on your background/history. The arrest report you bring in is all he works with, unless you fight and fight to get them (junior attornies, he doesn't actually handle anything except marketing) to do more, then they complain they've spent too many hours researching (trying to get the state evidence they never preserved, no longer available, not defense evidence). The only "no stone left unturned" is your money. He does not even know all the laws, more than one had to be pointed out. Ask around before you decide to hire this firm, you will get lots of rolling eyeballs. Most importantly, if you have hired this firm, and are so sorry you did, as I am, please complain to the FL Law Board (http://www.floridabar.org) It will take a bit of your time, but it is the only way to protect future clients...which could have been you at one time. They only keep complaints for one year, so it is essential they receive enough during that timeframe so they will have to take action. It should also be noted that you cannot sue your attorney when you are found guilty, even if he is the cause of that action, which he can surely be sure happens.
