Our client was arrested for DUI, after coming into contact with a Police Officer who was a DRE (Drug Recognition Expert). The DRE concluded that our client was high on drugs. In reality, our client suffers from severe anxiety, in which symptoms mimic those of someone impaired by controlled substances. The State Attorney's office offered to reduce the DUI charge to a Reckless Driving charge, which was declined. Armed with a negative urine test, Ticket Clinic attorneys aggressively pushed forward with preparing the case for trial. On the eve of trial, the State dropped all charges.
The Client hired the firm after she was charged with DUI. The Client had been involved in one crash and then left the scene of that crash and then got involved in another crash. The Client did not provide a breath sample that was over the legal limit, however she did have several different combinations of controlled substances and/or drugs in her vehicle and admitted to taking some as well. The Firm investigated the case and determined that the State could not properly establish that she had any drugs in her system in order to prove the charge of DUI. The State Attorney in the matter agreed with the Firm and dismissed the DUI charge.
Our client was already on probation for a criminal case, where he was represented by another law firm. While on probation, he was involved in an accident. Our client was unresponsive and slumped over the steering wheel. EMS was called, our client was transported to the hospital and he submitted to a urine test which showed the presence of drugs in his system. Originally, the State was seeking 9 months in jail for the Violation of Probation. Ticket Clinic attorneys filed a Motion for Speedy Trial on the DUI, which forced the State to drop the DUI charge. Then, the State agreed to drop their request for jail for the Violation of Probation, and our client was given "time served" for the VOP.
Our client was driving his car and a police officer noticed that his car was swerving across the lane markers. A traffic stop was initiated based on this repeated driving pattern. The officer quickly learned that our client's driver license was suspended. Our client was arrested and during the search incident to arrest, a vape pen was discovered (felony charge). The Ticket Clinic attorney began investigating the case and deposing the officer involved. During that deposition critical information was obtained about the legality of the stop of our client's car. A Motion to Suppress was filed, and we argued that the stop of the car was unlawful. The Circuit Court Judge agreed, forcing the State to drop the entire criminal case.
The police made contact with the defendant after receiving a tip about a vehicle in a McDonald’s parking lot in which the driver was very intoxicated. Officers made contact with the defendant and noticed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage, that his eyes were watery and bloodshot, and that his speech was slurred and mumbled. The police also noted that his balance was so poor that he had to lean on his vehicle for support. The defendant refused roadside exercises and a breath test. The defendant was arrested and charged with DUI. The DUI charge was dropped 1-20-09.
Our client was found asleep in the driver's seat of his car with the engine running. After the officer work him up, our client put his car in drive and attempted to leave. He was stopped and asked to exit exit his car. He was arrested for DUI. Following his arrest, our client provided a breath test, which registered .142. Ticket Clinic lawyers filed a Motion to Suppress, alleging that the officer did not have reasonable suspicion of DUI necessary to stop our client. The Court granted our Motion, and all charges were dismissed.
Client arrived at their home driving their car to find damage to the vehicle that they could not remember happening. Minutes later, law enforcement arrived at the home and accused the client of knowingly leaving the scene of an accident resulting in an injury. The client had previously been diagnosed with epilepsy and believed that they must have had a seizure while driving their car and therefore had no memory of the accident. The Ticket Clinic Attorneys were hired on the case and all criminal charges were dropped, without the client ever having to attend court.
For a DUI in Florida, in addition to impairment, the State must also prove a person was driving or in actual physical control. An officer alleged the client, who appeared intoxicated, was coming out of his truck at an apartment complex as though he had just arrived after driving. The client admitted that although he was intoxicated he did not drive and never intended to. In exploring that matter the attorney located a neighbor who told us that she knocked on the apartment door of the client to warn him to roll up his truck windows because of the pending rain moments before the police officer made contact with the client. The attorney prepared the case for trial, not accepting any possible lessors. All charges dismissed.
