The Client was stopped for cutting off an Officer in traffic. Once stopped the Officer realized the Client was under the influence of alcohol and requested the Client submit to field sobriety exercises. The Client agreed and performed poorly on said exercises. The Client was then arrested for DUI and once at the jail gave a breath sample of more than twice the legal limit. The Firm investigated the case and discovered that the Client was extremely cooperative with law enforcement and he did not have a prior criminal record. Based on these facts the State agreed to dismiss the DUI.
Police responded to a parked car outside of a bar. The occupant was rummaging through her purse as the officers approached. The keys to the car were in between the seat and center console. As the driver exited a car there was an open IPA car in her possession. The driver admitted to drinking. Roadside exercises were offered and completed. Independent witnesses say they saw the occupant drive the car earlier and hit a curb. She also had a lip injury as a result of a recent fall that night. After the arrest, a breath test was requested. The results were .140, .141. After working on the file for close to a year, Ticket Clinic lawyers were able to convince the State to drop this DUI charge.
Our client was involved in a one car accident after he lost control of his vehicle driving at a high rate of speed and went off the road, crashing into a sign for a residential neighborhood as well as a large tree approximately 100 feet down the road. Officers suspected that he was impaired by alcohol, but no DUI investigation was performed and our client was later arrested for Reckless Driving. At trial, the state attempted to bring in evidence of our client's alleged impairment to prove that he demonstrated a willful and wanton disregard for the safety of others by driving while impaired. However, the Ticket Clinic attorney objected and was able to keep this testimony out by arguing that it was evidence of an uncharged crime. Our attorney also kept out any evidence of his driving pattern before the accident because the state's civilian witness was unavailable for trial and the officer did not personally observe the accident. Because of our attorney's efforts, the State failed to establish a factual basis for the case against our client and the Judge dismissed all charges against him.
The Client’s vehicle was stopped for speeding. The Officer noticed the odor of alcohol and signs of impairment and conducted a DUI investigation. The Client performed poorly on the sobriety exercises and was arrested for DUI. Once at the jail the Defendant provided a breath sample that was double the legal limit.

The Client was involved in a crash and was transported to the hospital for treatment. Law enforcement followed the Client to the hospital and suspected the Client to be under the influence of alcohol. A blood sample was requested and the Client refused to provide a blood sample. The Client was charged with DUI anyways, despite the fact that no breath or blood sample was collected. The Firm filed a motion to suppress the Blood refusal and during the hearing the Officers made several contradictory statements, and changed lots of elements of their story. After the motion, the case was set for trial and the day before the trial the State agreed to drop the DUI.
Our client was involved in a single vehicle accident. His car was found in the woods and upon arrival he told the police officers that he was the driver. After the DUI investigation and arrest a breath test registered a result of .143 and .137. The police failed to Mirandize our client on scene and consequently, we were able to file a motion to exclude the admission that he was the driver of the car. After the filing of the motion and the state agreeing that it was a valid motion, the State agreed to drop the DUI charge.
The Client struck another vehicle while parking his car and then fell asleep behind the wheel. A DUI investigation was conducted by law enforcement and the Client was subsequently arrested for DUI. Once at the jail the Client provided a breath sample that was more than twice the legal limit.

Our client was involved in a vehicle accident in an apartment complex and then continued driving about 150 feet from the scene of the crash. According to the report, the accident resulted in another parked car's rear window imploding. The police officer who arrived on scene noticed signs of impairment. Roadside exercises were offered but our client refused. After the arrest a breath sample was taken, which showed a result of .251. Due to the administrative rule requiring 2 breath samples, we pointed out to the State that the result would be inadmissible. The state agreed, dropped the DUI to reckless driving and completely dropped the leaving the scene charge as well.
Our client was found at fault in a high speed rear-end collision with a vehicle that was parked at a red light. He admitted to looking at his phone immediately prior to the crash and was driving while his license was suspended. He was issued non-criminal traffic citations for failure to use due care and failure to provide proof of insurance. He was also issued a criminal traffic citation for Driving While License Suspended. Our client was facing a maximum of 60 days in the Broward County Jail. The Ticket Clinic attorney for Broward County set the case for trial to make the State prove the allegations against our client. During the trial, our attorney was able to keep out key pieces of evidence which completely prevented the State from being able to prove that the crash occurred in Broward County and that our client knew his license was suspended. As a result of our attorney's efforts, the Judge granted a directed verdict of Not Guilty on the two non-criminal traffic infractions and granted a Judgement of Acquittal on the criminal charge of Driving While License Suspended.
The Defendant was observed driving “side by side” with another vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed on Port St Lucie Blvd. According to the police officer, one of the vehicles was able to pull away and then change lanes in front of the other vehicle.

Our client was on their way to a vacation when they ran into their neighbor's mailbox. The neighbors called the police reporting that our client was drunk. Our client submitted to a breath test and blew 0.00. Despite the fact that a urine sample would be practical LEOs requested a warrantless blood draw.
Using our relationships with The State Attorney's Office we were able to voice our concerns that this warrantless blood draw was unconstitutional and agreed to a reduced charge of reckless driving!
