Our client was arrested for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon (Domestic Violence), and was accused of attempting to run her husband over with her vehicle. Our team of attorneys gathered significant evidence showing that the husband was not a reliable witness and that the damage to our client's vehicle was not consistent with her husband's story. After reviewing the evidence we submitted to the prosecutors, the State Attorney's Office dropped all charges against our client.
The Client was charged with a DUI after he was discovered in his vehicle after a major crash. He seemed extremely disoriented and impaired and was transported to the hospital. Once at the hospital both law enforcement and the hospital did a blood sample and a toxicology screen for drugs.

The firm pointed this issue out to the State and argued that the DUI should be dismissed. The State agreed and dropped the DUI.
A police officer responded to a call from a manager of a restaurant that one if its customers, had driven away from the restaurant and was intoxicated.

While performing the roadside exercises, the officer noted the client was swaying, lost his balance and failed to complete the exercises as instructed. The Client was arrested and submitted a breath sample that was over twice the legal limit. The DUI was ultimately dropped after The Ticket Clinic worked out a reduced charge of Reckless Driving, which prevented the client from receiving criminal conviction for DUI and avoided the mandatory driver’s license suspension that occurs with a DUI conviction.

After performing poorly on the roadside exercises, the client was arrested and charged with DUI and submitted to a breath test where she blew well-over twice the legal limit.

Our client, who is a commercial driver (CDL) was rear ended, which resulted in the death of the other driver. After being retained, Ticket Clinic lawyers went to work on the case, investigating the details of the crash. Our client insisted that he was slowing for traffic ahead, and had no choice but to slow his tractor-trailer. Police disagreed and charged him with being the "at fault" driver for the fatal crash. Rejecting any plea agreements or resolutions of the case, we proceeded to trial. After a 1.5 hour-long trial, our client was found to be "not guilty". This win saved our client from receiving substantial fines, and more importantly a mandatory suspension of his commercial driver license, which directly impacted his ability to maintain his livelihood.
Our client was observed by Florida Highway Patrol traveling 110 mph and weaving in/out of traffic. The speed was confirmed by a Stalker Laser measuring device.

The State agreed and the criminal charge was dismissed.
