Our client was charged with Racing on the Highway, a crime that carries a penalty of a mandatory $500 fine and 1 year Driver's License Suspension. Based upon the evidence received, our attorney sought to depose the officer who witnessed the alleged crime. The officer's testimony at the deposition offered nothing into the case other than conclusions and guesses, so our attorney filed a Motion to limit the Officer's testimony to what would be legally permissible in court, so as not to taint the jury with inadmissible evidence to consider. Prior to hearing the Motion, the State offered to reduce the charge to a civil citation with no points added to our client's DL.
Our client was arrested for battery and possession of cocaine. Officers were called to bar where a complaint was made against our client. It was also alleged the officer's found cocaine during their investigation and charged our client with possession of the controlled substance. We were hired at the onset of the arrest which allowed us to vigorously defend the case. After investigating, reviewing the legal documents, and some legal positioning, we were able to get the entire case dropped on behalf of our client in less than 4 weeks from the date of the arrest.
Our client was pulled over after multiple calls regarding a reckless driver. After being stopped, the driver admitted to drinking and field sobriety exercises were performed. The Trooper was quick to judgment and seemed to disregard the obvious language barrier. Ticket Clinic lawyers took on the case and discovered that the roadside exercises were not explained to standard and unwarranted exercises were requested. Based upon the unusual DUI investigation and the errors by law enforcement, we were able to get the State to drop the DUI charge.
Our client was transported to the hospital by his wife to be treated for extreme alcohol consumption and PTSD. Our client refused treatment and attempted to leave by sitting in the drivers seat of the car. He argued with his wife saying he wanted to drive home. While his wife had the key fob to her registered vehicle, he was able to start the car due to her close proximity. Our attorney filed a motion to suppress evidence based upon inoperability of the vehicle since the key fob was not in his possession. He argued in that motion that our client, although behind the wheel of the car, the state could not prove actual physical control. Prior to the start of the hearing, the Judge mentioned that if that key fob was not possessed by the defendant, then there was no actual physical control. The state dropped the dui charge.
Our client's vehicle made a wide turn, swayed and crossed over the center line multiple times. Our client was stopped for the infractions. According to the officer, our client showed signs of impairment and had a 12 pack of beer in his car with several "empties." Ticket Clinic attorneys took over the case and filed a Motion to Suppress, alleging that the stop was unlawful. At the hearing, our attorney was able to get the officer to testify in a manner that established that the stop was improper. The Judge agreed with our assessment of the fact and law and granted our motion. The prosecutor was forced to drop the DUI and the Judge dismissed all traffic infractions as well.
According to the police officer, our client almost hit the officer during another traffic stop on a residential street. He was pulled over and after signs of impairment were noticed, he was asked to perform roadside exercises. During the stop, the driver called a friend to the scene for assistance. The friend arrived, but was turned away, as the DUI investigation had started and was being conducted at a gas station. Ticket Clinic lawyers took over the case and obtained the roadside video which seemed to show little to no signs of impairment. Combined with a lack of evidence and an argument that our client's rights were violated, as the officer prevented the friend from videotaping the investigation, we were able to convince the State Attorney to drop the DUI charge.
Our client was driving erratically. He was being followed by a car load of teenage girls who video taped his driving pattern while calling police. According to the witnesses, he was swerving badly, driving in the wrong lane, ran into a curb on a several occasions, went into the grass shoulder and almost hit a few mailboxes. Eventually, he lost control of his car and went airborne over a culvert, landed in a ditch and then ran into a fence. When officers arrived, our client was seated in the driver's seat. After being arrested, our client took a breath test (blew .00) and refused to give a urine sample. Ticket Clinic lawyers were able to convince the prosecutor to drop the DUI to an amended Reckless Driving charge. Our client did not want to accept the offer, so we took the case to a jury trial. During the trial, we were able to convince the Judge to dismiss one of the DUI charges. The 2nd count went to a jury and they returned a Not Guilty verdict in 28 minutes.
The State Attorney's office charged our client with DUI causing Serious Bodily Injury, a 3rd degree Felony that carries a minimum/mandatory sentence of 4 years in prison. The State Attorney's office alleged that our client spent a day at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood drinking and gambling with friends; and that on his way home, he was involved in a serious car crash while travelling approximately 90 miles per hour. Our client's passenger suffered a broken neck, and a witness on scene allegedly heard our client admitting that he was drunk. Our client refused to provide a sample of his blood, and the Davie Police Department submitted a refusal affidavit to the DMV, which triggered an automatic license suspension. The Ticket Clinic attorney in Broward County requested an administrative hearing to challenge this suspension. During the hearing, our attorney was able to challenge the state's evidence and question the arresting officer. The FLHSMV overturned our client's license suspension, and the State Attorney's office eventually dropped all DUI charges against our client and withheld adjudication on the lesser charge of Reckless Driving. Our client went from facing a felony conviction and at least 4 years in prison, to a withhold and now has the option to seal and expunge this case from his criminal record.
On March 18, 2021 at approximately 4:14am, a Deputy arrived just east of the intersection between Dale Mabry Highway and County Line Road. Upon his arrival he observed a gray Honda Civic parked on the grass shoulder to the right of the eastbound lane of County Line Road. The Defendant was observed in the driver seat with the driver door open. As the Deputy parked his car, the Defendant exited the vehicle.

Our client was charged with Driving Under the Influence and Resisting an Officer Without Violence after police officers encountered her in a gas station parking lot while responding to a call regarding a domestic disturbance. During the investigation, our client admitted to officers that she drank two beers at a Florida Panthers game and struck a curb while driving home. After their investigation, officers attempted to arrest her for DUI, but alleged that our client resisted by tensing her arms and resisting efforts to put her in handcuffs. The Ticket Clinic attorney in Broward County prepared a motion to suppress all of the evidence gained as a result of her detention, alleging that because the officers did not physically observe her driving, they could not lawfully arrest her for DUI. Our attorney further argued that because the arrest for DUI was unlawful, our client could not be charged with resisting an unlawful arrest. The State Attorney's office dropped all criminal charges against our client without requiring a hearing on the motion to suppress
