Officers approached our client after a suspected collision with another vehicle. The Officer later conducted an investigation and searched our client's car. During the search the Officer located a bag of cocaine next to the driver's seat of the vehicle. In the State of Florida, possession of any amount of cocaine is a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison. Our attorneys began working on the case and found that the State did not have enough evidence to prove our client was in possession of the cocaine. Our attorneys spoke with the prosecutors and presented legal argument as to why the State did not have enough evidence against our client to support a conviction for possession of cocaine. The State eventually conceded that it was unlikely that they could prove that our client possessed cocaine and dropped the felony charge against our client.

This further evidenced he was indeed not impaired. Before the case ever saw a courtroom, we were able to get the entire DUI dismissed!

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.
