The client was involved in a motorcycle accident and was thrown from his motorcycle. The Client had serious injuries and was taken to a local hospital where they drew his blood and obtained a result of over 4 times the legal limit for alcohol. The client hired the Firm and the case was investigated. The Firm discovered that there may be a problem for the State to place the client in control of the motorcycle. The Firm set the case for trial. The day of trial the State dismissed the DUI.
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.
Our client hired us after being arrested for a DUI near a checkpoint. According to the client and affidavit, our client legally avoided the checkpoint. In doing so, he "swerved" in his turn. However, in applying the case law, The Ticket Clinic was able to show that this stop was illegal and that our client showed the savviness to avoid it in a legal manner. 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 minor traffic accident and police responded to investigate. While interacting with our client, the officers claimed that his "pupils were smaller than everyone else's" and suspected him of driving under the influence. The officers, without conducting any investigation, requested that our client provide a sample of his blood. The blood sample revealed that he had cannabis in his system and he was charged with DUI. The lawyers at the firm filed a motion to exclude the results of the blood sample. At the hearing on the motion, the prosecutors agreed to drop all DUI related charges.
Our Client was pulled over for weaving in and out of lanes coming up to a major intersection. When the officer came into contact with our client he noted a smell of alcohol, red, glassy eyes, and slurred speech. Our client admitted to drinking much earlier in the day and to having taken Tylenol PM within the hour. Our client spoke with a strong Haitian accent, and it was clear any mistakes he made on his field sobriety exercises were due to the language barrier rather than impairment by alcohol. Our client was arrested for DUI and refused a Breathalyzer. Our client told us that he was weaving that night but it was from checking his cell phone which mirrors the driving pattern on the video. First hearing our clients voice we knew that it was not slurred on the video, rather the way he always spoke with a Haitian accent. Our firm prepared for trial, and on the eve of the trial was offered a Reckless Driving.
The Client was involved in a serious traffic accident. When law enforcement arrived on scene they noticed that the Client seemed impaired, but did not observe an odor of alcohol.

Before the Trial the State agreed with the Firm and dismissed the entire case.
