The client was violated on his probation from over two decades ago. In looking into the case, it appears the probation and the clerks were not aware of the what the "left hand was doing from the right hand". After researching the case, we were able to prove that our client completed all the conditions and there was an error in violating him. Upon confirmation of the court, the violation was dismissed.
Officers saw our client driving at a high rate of speed. As the vehicle approached an intersection, the driver went around the stopped vehicles to get around the other cars. According to the officer the driver appeared to be impaired and there was an open container in the car. The driver was asked to perform roadside exercises and he refused. A breath test was requested and refused. Ticket Clinic lawyers took over the case. A Motion to Suppress was filed and granted in part. Even though our client had another recent DUI arrest, we were able to get this DUI charge dropped.
Our client was arrested and charged with his second DUI. Upon reviewing the evidence, our attorney filed a Motion to Suppress based on an illegal traffic stop, as well as an illegal detention of our client with no cause to request Field Sobriety Exercises. Prior to having a hearing on the Motion, the Office of the State Attorney contacted our attorney and informed him that they agreed with his Motion and promptly dismissed the case against our client.
After a 911 call about a male in a vehicle causing a commotion, an investigation led to our client being charged with DUI. Upon reviewing the case, our attorney filed a Motion to Suppress evidence based on numerous grounds, including that the vehicle was inoperable. Law enforcement on scene indicated the vehicle was inoperable numerous times. Our attorneys attempted to negotiate that fact with the State while the motion was pending, but the State insisted on prosecuting our client. At the hearing, the judge ruled in favor of our client, and all of the evidence of the alleged DUI was suppressed and unable to be used in court. The State subsequently dismissed the charge against our client.
On January 23, 2021, a Florida Fish and Wildlife Officer was on patrol in Hillsborough County. At approximately 5:20pm, he noticed a blue and white center console vessel approaching the Williams Park boat ramp. The FWC officer could not see any vehicle safety inspection sticker on the vessel. The FWC officer approached the driver of the boat. While speaking with the defendant, the officer noted a difficulty in providing the documents requested. During the safety inspection, numerous cans of beer were seen inside a hatch on the stern of the boat. The Defendant admitted to consuming about 5 beers and was taken into custody for a BUI investigation. The officer conducted the seated field sobriety exercises and impairment was detected. The officer placed the Defendant under arrest for BUI. The Defendant refused to submit to a breath test.
Result: The firm set the case for trial, but before the trial date the State dropped the BUI charge.
Our client was arrested and charged with a second DUI after he was found to be driving the wrong way on Interstate 4 near Orlando. Officers made contact with him and he refused to complete Field Sobriety Exercises. After he was placed under arrest, he submitted to a breath test with a result of .255, over 3 times the legal limit. Upon review of the evidence, our attorney filed a Motion to Suppress evidence, based on the grounds that our client was subject to an unlawful traffic stop and was not properly informed of the potential consequences of refusing to complete the Field Sobriety Exercises. Prior to a hearing on our Motion to Suppress, the State offered to allow our client to plea to a reduced charge of Reckless Driving and avoid a conviction.
The client was stopped for speeding. Once stopped the officer believed the defendant was impaired by alcohol and asked the client to submit to sobriety exercises. The client performed well but was still arrested for DUI. After a long amount of time passed the client submitted to a breath sample that was more than 3 times the legal limit. The firm immediately requested the video in the case. It was argued to the Assistant State Attorney that the DUI should be dismissed as a result of the conflicting evidence presented by the good sobriety exercises, and the high breath sample. After the trial in the matter was delayed several times due to the pandemic, that State finally agreed to dismiss the DUI.
The client called our office for an very unusual issue regarding his past DUI. In what appeared to be a clerical error, a warrant was issued for our client on a Violation of Probation, 13 years later. Our client was booked in on that warrant in South Florida. Surprisingly, the arresting agency issues another warrant based on a different clerical error. On November 3, 2021, The Ticket Clinic's team was able to have the warrant(s) address, and dismiss any outstanding warrants that would potentially harm our client. This was a rarity, as it was done in chambers without a adversarial hearing. Our client was able to gather the supporting documents of his past probation, and we expect to have underlying VOP dismissed in addition to the warrants being recalled.
Our client reached out The Ticket Clinic after hearing about his success with firearms cases. He was facing a 3 year prison offer, an overreaching and illegal designation as a prison re-release offender, and a gang affiliation designation with the local law enforcement offices for carrying a concealed firearm without a license. He case was almost 3 years old before we got on board. Our attorney was able to look at the case and file a dispositive Motion to Dismiss and a Motion to Suppress. In this limited circumstance, the judge was willing to hear the motions and allow our office to take the case to trial at the same time. In less than six months, the State dropped the felony gun charge the eve of trial.
Our client was facing 2 years in the department of corrections followed by a lengthy probation for his alleged 4th DUI. Without speaking to the State, we set this case for trial and we drafted a detailed Motion in Limine to prepare for our clients day in court. On the eve of trial, the State amended their offer to reduce the felony to a misdemeanor and remove the period of incarceration at the department of corrections.
Our client was cited erroneously by an Officer. While roadside, the client produced the required documentation for driving on a foreign license in Florida. Despite following the law, the officer still cited our client with a criminal citation exposing him to a jail sentence. After reviewing the body cam and producing the same documents to the State with a proposed Motion to Dismiss, the case was dropped.
Our client was arrested for domestic battery against his adult son. Our own investigation revealed that the son was the aggressor after a discovery of extreme bias. If we had not pursued the evidence needed to exonerate our client, and without knowing the nuances of the criminal investigation, this case could have dragged on for months. Due to the evidence that we were able to obtain and by leveraging a bond hearing to explain the true facts of the case, Ticket Clinic lawyers were able to get the case dropped by the State Attorney's office quickly, before the first docket call!
