The Client was charged with DUI after he allegedly rear ended another car in the drive thru at a local taco bell. The Police then arrived on scene and did a DUI investigation. After the Client performed poorly on the sobriety exercises he was subsequently arrested and charged with his second DUI within a period of five years. The State offered at least 60 days in jail and a five year license suspension, among other penalties, to resolve the case. The Firm investigated the case and discovered that there was no damage to the alleged victim’s car, which indicated there may not be an accident at all. Because of this fact the Firm and the State tried to jointly speak with the alleged victim, but were unable to locate the alleged victim. Because of this evidentiary problem the State agreed with the Firm’s assertion that the DUI should be dismissed, and subsequently dropped the DUI.

Our client was charged with Racing on Highway.  On a four lane highway, our client was stopped at a traffic signal.  Beside our client in an adjacent lane, a vehicle revved its engine.  When the light turned green, both rapidly accelerated.  At the first court date, I argued that the elements of the crime could not be established beyond a reasonable doubt.  The State offered an adjudication and court costs.  I rejected the offer indicating that the State could not prove it.  The State offered a withhold of adjudication and court costs.  I rejected the offer on the basis that under Section 316.191(3)(a), Florida Statutes, the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles must revoke an offender’s driving privileges for a minimum period of one year upon conviction, EVEN IF ADJUDICATION IS WITHHELD.  Not waiving speedy trial, the Judge set it for a trial, for the following month.  After providing case law to the prosecutor regarding what must be proven on a charge of Racing on Highway, the case was dismissed.

Case #: 2019CT####6## | DUI Case Win
Charge: DUI
DUI
The Client was involved in an accident and once police arrived on scene they noticed he seemed impaired.  The Officers weren’t sure if he was under the influence of controlled substances or alcohol, but after doing a brief investigation they observed an odor of alcohol and the Client admitted to taking various controlled substances.  Law enforcement got a urine same which then confirmed the controlled substances.  The Firm was hired and began negotiating with the State Attorney’s Office which did not want to dismiss the DUI without suspending the Client’s license.  The Firm pointed out that the Client was extremely cooperative and also had no prior criminal history and was only on the medication for strictly medical reasons, and an expert may be able to testify that the Client didn’t feel much of an impairment effect from said medications.  The State eventually agreed and dismissed the DUI without requiring the Client’s license to be suspended.

Case #: Case 2019CT####### DUI | Palm Beach DUI Lawyer
Charge: DUI
DUI
The Client’s car was witnessed by law enforcement jumping a curb and then hitting a street sign.  The Client then immediately left the crash scene in his vehicle.  The police quickly stopped his vehicle.  Once the crash investigation began the Officer noticed that the Client had indicators of impairment.  Those indicators of impairment led the Officer to conduct a DUI investigation.  Two sobriety exercises were conducted and the Officer stopped the exercises and arrested the Client.  The Client then refused to submit to a breath sample.  The Firm was hired to handle the case       and, because of the nature of the case, the State wasn’t agreeing to dismiss the DUI based on the accident involved.  The Firm had numerous conversations with the State that highlighted the fact that absent the hitting of the street sign there wasn’t enough information to show the Client was impaired.  This fact, coupled with the facts that the Client refused to give a breath sample, and the Client had no prior history, convinced the State attorney to dismiss the DUI charge.
