Client was involved in a single vehicle incident and transported to the hospital. While at the hospital, he was read "Implied Consent" by law enforcement, informing him that if he did not submit to a blood test, his driver's license would be suspended. Based on that information, client agreed to provide a blood sample. Months later, after the blood results were received by law enforcement, our client was officially charged with a DUI.
Upon review of the case, our attorneys filed a Motion to Suppress the blood request and results based on Florida's Implied Consent Law. The Implied Consent Law only requires a breath sample or urine sample be provided, except when certain criteria are met. In our client's case, those criteria were not met, so asking for a blood sample was improper by law enforcement. Based on the case law provided by our attorney, and the testimony at the hearing, the Judge ruled that the blood request, and results would not be admissible in any trial against our client. Without any evidence to prove that our client was impaired, the State dismissed the case.
Our client was found asleep in her car on the shoulder of the road in a residential area. Once Ticket Clinic attorneys took over the case, we began preparing our defense and having aggressive negotiations with the State Attorney's office. Ultimately, the State agreed to drop the DUI charge and we were able to seal this case from our client's criminal record.
The defendant was stopped for driving off the roadway on two occasions and failed to maintain a single lane. The officer detected a strong odor of alcohol on the defendant's breath, bloodshot, watery eyes and slurred speech. The defendant failed roadside sobriety exercises and blew a .117 on the intoxylizer. Case Dismissed.
A police officer responded to a call from a citizen regarding a person who was in a vehicle in a parking lot and was attempting to start an already running vehicle. The officers made contact with the driver and noticed signs of impairment. Exercises were performed poorly on video. The driver was arrested and later refused a breath test. DUI charge dropped.
The Client was arrested on a warrant in 2020 for allegations of a hit and run accident involving a child in the street from 1997. The Client was unaware what the warrant was referring to and was shocked to find out there was a warrant out for his arrest. The Firm was retained to handle the matter and immediately investigated why the Client had a warrant out for his arrest. The Firm discovered that the Client was wanted in reference to a hit and run investigation from 1997 involving a child in the street on his bicycle. However, the evidence in the file indicated no one actually witnessed the Defendant in any way in reference to the accident, and the State never tried to even find the Client to serve the warrant upon him. The Firm researched the relevant case law and decided to file a motion to dismiss the case based upon the Statute of Limitations, which had expired. The Firm filed the motion and after reviewing the matter the State agreed and dismissed the case entirely.
Our client was stopped for green neon lighting under his wheel wells and green neon tail-whip antennas. He was charged with unsafe equipment and had an suspended license. A motion to suppress for an invalid traffic stop was drafted. The argument presented was that only blue and red colored neon was unsafe. All other colors of neon are legal. The ASA dismissed the case.
Our client was clocked at 105 mph on the Florida Turnpike. After stopping the vehicle, the Trooper noticed the odor of alcohol coming from with the vehicle and saw 3 empty beer cans in the car, and 4 that were unopened. Other physical signs of impairment were also observed according to the Trooper. After completed roadside exercises, our client was arrested. At the police station, our client fell asleep. The Trooper asked our client for a breath test, and he refused. Ticket Clinic lawyers set the case for a jury trial. After deliberations, the jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict, and a mistrial was declared. Ticket Clinic lawyers took the case to trial a 2nd time, this time obtaining the desired verdict, NOT GUILTY just after 8 PM!
Our client, a 19 year old, was charged with Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer, Fleeing or Attempting to Elude, and Reckless Driving. Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer is a charge that carries a mandatory prison sentence of 3 years. We were retained prior to the State filing charges against our client. Our attorney immediately contacted the Office of the State Attorney, and explained to them that the facts as presented in the Warrant for our Client's arrest did not support the charge of Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer. However, the State filed that charge anyway. Over the next few months, our attorney worked diligently to show the State that they could not prove the charge. Depositions were scheduled in order for the State to hear, from their own alleged victim, that the charge was not supported. Prior to the taking of depositions, our attorney highlighted the specific facts in the alleged victim's statement to the prosecutor assigned. The State dropped the charge. Our attorney went one step further. Utilizing the law, our attorney was able to ensure that our client did not become a convicted felon, even though Fleeing or Attempting to Elude requires a mandatory adjudication of guilt. Our attorney's diligence, and knowledge, prevented our client from becoming a convicted felon on his first offense, and convinced the State to drop a charge that carried mandatory prison.
Our client was facing a lengthy jail sentence after being accused of her 4th DUI within a 10 year period. In addition to the DUI, she was charged with Refusal to Submit to Testing and Resisting Arrest without Violence. After discovering some strong legal issues for our defense, Ticket Clinic lawyers filed a Motion to Suppress evidence. This filing proved to be successful as the State Attorney agreed to drop the DUI charge. The client did no jail time!

Possession of False ID (Felony) x2
Our client, a double major college student under the age of 21, was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over for speeding. The driver admitted to police that he possessed drugs in his bag located in the passenger compartment of the car. The officer found the drugs and arrested the driver. Our client the passenger, was instructed by police to exit the vehicle. An officer searched our client’s purse and found two fake identifications. Our client was arrest and charged with two felonies for possessing the fake IDs. Upon our client’s hire, the Firm’s attorney analyzed the facts and law and determined the officer had violated the rights of our client as the search was unlawful. The attorney immediately drafted a letter detailing the legal analysis to the prosecutor. The prosecutor agreed with the attorney’s analysis and DISMISSED all charges.
