Our client was arrested and charged with racing on a highway by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. The State alleged she was racing another Corvette on State Road 408, however, the evidence told a different story. Our attorney subpoenaed toll records, collected helicopter footage showing normal speeds, and text messages supporting her defense that she did not participate in any race. We arrived ready to pick a jury, but the State made a last-minute offer to reduce the charges. Our client rejected the offer, totally confident in her defense and her legal representation. Faced with the facts, the State dismissed the case before jury selection even began.

Our client was arrested for DUI after being involved in a two-car crash. During the investigation, the officer claimed our client exhibited signs of impairment—heavy tongue, slurred speech, and an odor of alcohol. The client refused to participate in field sobriety exercises and declined to provide a breath sample. Despite these allegations, on video our client appeared composed and in control. Recognizing this, our attorney filed motions to suppress the arrest and the alleged breath test refusal. On the day of the hearing, we were prepared to argue these motions. However, the State requested additional time. The Judge denied that request, and as a result, the State was forced to dismiss the case entirely.

Our client was arrested for DUI after an investigation by the Orlando Police Department. The case began when a Wawa employee called the police, claiming she saw our client driving erratically, almost striking another vehicle, staggering after exiting his vehicle, and later passing out on a bench after purchasing food. When officers arrived, our client explained that he had simply bought a sandwich, eaten outside, and fallen asleep—without disturbing anyone. He refused to provide his license, asserting that he had not committed a crime and was not driving at the time. The officer threatened to charge him with DUI if he did not comply. Ultimately, our client was arrested, and officers found car keys in his pocket. Recognizing that these circumstances did not fall under any exception to the rule requiring misdemeanors to be committed in the officer’s presence, our attorney filed a motion to suppress. We successfully argued that the arrest violated our client’s constitutional rights. The Judge agreed and suppressed the arrest, all statements, and all evidence obtained, forcing the State to dismiss the case.

Our client and his wife of a year were under recent financial difficulty and the stress of losing employment as well as our client’s recent loss of his mother pushed them to have a heated interaction that resulted in our client’s daughter to call for a ‘wellness’ check. Instead of deescalating and providing calmness to the situation, statements were taken by the sheriff’s office that resulted in our client being taken in for the charge of Domestic Violence Battery. Within the 4-5 sentences of the minimal police report there was no indication who the aggressor was in the situation and additionally the alleged victim did not want to press charges. Our firm reached out to the State Attorney’s Office to address these issues within the case before they decided to press charges against our client and file on the case. The State declined to take up the case and the same day our firm filed our Notice of Appearance the State Attorney’s office dismissed the case.

The client pulled into parking lot after experiencing medical issues causing him to vomit inside his vehicle. Once he was in the parking lot, mistakenly put his Tesla into drive rather than reverse and ended up driving over the curb, rendering the car stuck. He had opened one beer in the parking lot to wash the vomit out of his mouth. Only one open beer was found near the vehicle. When officers arrived, they smelled the beer and saw the vomit and assumed he was impaired. When they asked him to perform FSE’s, client wanted to know why and before he could say yes or no, they arrested him. When he then said he would do them, they told him it was “too late”. They asked him it he would take a breath test. He said he would rather give a urine test. Officers said that was fine, they could give him that back at the jail. Once back at the jail, he was never given an opportunity to give a urine sample, even though he had agreed to it. Watching the bodycam video, client seemed fine. No slurring, stumbling, swaying, anything like that.  Managed to get another Tesla driver on the jury who explained to all the others in voir dire exactly how much acceleration the car has with just the slighted petal push and how easy it could be to accidently put car into drive instead of reverse. With no FSE’s, scientific tests or visible intoxication on the video, they came back with NG in about 20 minutes.

Our client was waiting in a left turn lane facing southbound waiting for oncoming traffic to pass. No oncoming vehicle had their turn signal on. The last car the client was waiting for happened to be a police officer. This police vehicle did not have its right turn signal on. Based on this, our client made his turn anticipating the police vehicle would maintain its current speed. However, the police officer did make a right turn on to the side road our client was also waiting to turn on to. Both drivers hesitated and the police officer made its right turn with the client following behind. No other traffic was affected. In the police report the officer alleged that our client failed to yield, that her turn signal was on, and that she was forced to “slam on the breaks” to avoid a collision with our client. Fortunately, our client had a dash cam installed in his car which contradicted these allegations. After being pulled over our clients concerns for the reason for the stop were ignored and his concerns for a language barrier were also ignored as Spanish is our clients first language. Our client was also subjected to the police officer blasting at full volume “Locked up” by Akon while our client was in the back of the police car begging for an explanation. Our firm expressed our concerns for the basis for the stop and the issues within the case to the State. The State dropped the DUI charge along with the six accompanying traffic tickets.

Our client was stopped for traveling 101/70 mph. Our client was arrested and had to post a cash bind to get our of jail. His ticket only alleged a traffic violation, not a crime. Once out of jail, our client received a letter saying that his infraction was getting dismissed but he would be charged with a criminal violation. The new citation was never served on our client. The State attorney was seeking jail for this case.  Ticket Clinic lawyers filed a Motion to Dismiss, arguing that the arrest was illegal, as it was based on a traffic infraction, not a crime. On the day of trial, the Judge dismissed the case. Our client walked out of the court with no criminal charge AND no ticket!

Our client was accused of driving 107/60…47 mph over the limit. A careful reading of the police report indicated that the state would be unable to prove one of the essential elements of this crime. Ticket Clinic lawyers began fighting the case and pointed out to the State and the officer that they would not be able to prove the case. Even though State Attorneys often offer jail in these cases, we were able to convince the State to drop the criminal charge completely.  The client only got an infraction, no points/no conviction and he merely paid the minimum fine.

Our Client was charged with his second DUI and registered 0.229 on the Intoxilyzer.  However, because our Client was arrested in one county and unlawfully taken to another county for the breath test, we were able to have the administrative suspension of the license set aside and resolved the criminal case to a “wet reckless,” rather than a DUI.

Our client was stopped for a traffic stop.  After the officers had him step out of the car they stated they noted signs of impairment and asked him to perform Field Sobriety Exercises which he agreed to do.  After performing the Exercises the officers arrested him.  At the jail, he blew .000 and they requested a blood sample which the client refused to give. As soon as our attorneys received the case, they went to work on our client’s behalf. Based on what our attorneys were told by the client, the attorneys started negotiations with the State. The State offered the client Diversion to which he pled to a reckless driving after completing the conditions.

Our client was involved in a crash with another vehicle. Witnesses indicated our client was the driver. When police arrived, they noted signs of impairment on our client to include bloodshot watery eyes and an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from our client. Shortly thereafter, officers began a DUI investigation on our client. Our client asked officers if he was in trouble for DUI. Our client also apologized multiple times and indicated he was going through hard times. Officers later asked our client for a breath sample and he refused. After making both factual and legal arguments to the assigned prosecutor, the State dismissed the DUI with a Crash charge.

Our Client was stopped for improperly using a transporter tag.  The Deputy ran the VIN through the computer system and learned that the vehicle had last been registered two years prior.  However, rather than charging our client with driving a motor vehicle with an expired registration, the Deputy charged our Client with driving an unregistered motor vehicle.  Because we knew the State could not prove the accusation, the case was set for a jury trial.  On the morning of trial, the State dropped the case outright.  Sometimes setting a case for trial is sufficient to cause the State to drop it.
