Case #: 2022-CF-**** Fleeing/Attempting to Elude

Charge: Fleeing and Eluding

Felony/Other

While conducting proactive patrol, two law enforcement officers observed a vehicle traveling approximately 40 mph over the speed limit. While stopped with the vehicle at a red light, law enforcement ran the tag, and identified the driver as the registered owner through the open windows. When the light turned green, the vehicle burned out, and sped away at a high rate of speed (approximately 45 mph over the speed limit). Law enforcement activated their lights and sirens, and the vehicle sped away at an even high rate of speed. A warrant was issued for our client, the driver of the vehicle observed charging our client with Fleeing/Attempting to Elude Law Enforcement - a felony that carries a mandatory felony conviction on someone's record, as well as a mandatory Driver's License suspension upon conviction.

After receiving the case, our attorneys went to work reviewing the evidence. Of particular importance was the Body Worn Camera that was provided by the State. This video created more questions than it did give answers as to what actually happened. Based on the questions created by the State's own evdience, our attorneys were successfully able to negotiate this case to resolve to a misdemeanor offense, sparing our client from becoming a convicted felon and avoiding a license suspension.

Case #: 2023CT0XXX7 – DUI Reduced Charge

Charge: DUI

DUI

The client was arrested by the Indian River County Sheriffs office after allegedly almost striking a Deputy during a road stop. Upon contact, they found an open beer and our client admitted to drinking 6 beers in the course of the night. However, the officers did take into account it was over a 12 hour day, not just a short night. In addition, they failed to get a Spanish translator. Despite the language barrier, we argued that our client actually passed the field sobriety tests based on his performance. Coupled with video, we argued our client was not impaired, and the officers rushed the investigation. The State agreed and reduced the DUI to a wet-reckless.

Case #: 23-XXXX DUI Case Dismissed

Charge: DUI

DUI

Our client was charged with DUI and Refusal to Submit to a Breath Test. An Officer responded to a noise complaint in an apartment complex parking lot. He observed a group of males standing next to the vehicle and he ordered them to turn down the music. Our client sat in the driver's seat and turned down the music. The officer told him to keep the music down and not to drive because he smelled the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. The officer realized that he only spoke Spanish and used a translation app to repeat the warning. Several minutes later the officer observed our client in the same vehicle drive pass him, while playing loud music. He watched him park and walked up to him. The music was still playing loud as he exited the driver seat. After the officer observed him staggering and swaying, he detained him and requested that he perform Field Sobriety Exercises. Our client walked away and was placed under arrest for DUI. He refused the breath test. The State initially offered him pretrial diversion but we advised to wait and allow the attorney to do a full review of the case. After working the case and speaking to the prosecutor on multiple occasions, the charges were dismissed.

Charge: DUI

DUI

Law enforcement was called to the scene where they discovered that not only was the Client injured but she also smelled of alcohol. She was transported to the hospital for treatment.

The Client initially refused but later recanted the refusal. The Client was then charged with DUI. The Firm was hired to represent the Client and began gathering all the relevant evidence. There was no video of the incident or of law enforcement's interaction with her, however there was an audio recording. On said audio recording the Client's speech pattern sounded extremely slurred and impaired. The Firm set the case for trial based on the fact that the State had limited evidence, other than the audio recording. The State agreed that the case was weak and dismissed the DUI charge.

Case #: 2021-CT-***4* – Dismissed Pending DUI Diversion Completion

Charge: DUI

DUI

Law Enforcement was dispatched to the scene of a motor vehicle crash. Our client was found to be involved in the accident. Law enforcement made observations of our client including red, bloodshot, watery eyes and an overwhelming odor of alcohol from her breath. Based on these observations, plus the crash, our client was asked to participate in Field Sobriety Exercises. She performed poorly - unable to follow the instructions of the law enforcement officer. Eventually she refused to further participate in the exercises and was placed under arrest for Driving Under the Influence. After her arrest she was asked to provide a breath sample. She refused. When our attorneys received the case, we began an in-depth analysis of the facts and investigation conducted by law enforcement. Our attorneys, using their reputation in the community, were able to successfully negotiate with the State to allow our client to be admitted into Orange County's DUI Diversion Program - which she would not normally have been qualified for based on the crash involved. The State allowed her entry into the program. After the completion of the program, the charges were dismissed against our client.
