Case #: 2014CTXX72

Charge: DUI

Felony/Other

In 2014, our client was placed on a period of probation for one year in Alachua County. There was a technical violation alleged and an outstanding warrant for violation of probation issued. Our firm was retained in 2024 to resolve this matter. Immediately we reached out to the State and asked them to dismiss based on a Mobley issue. Mobley v. State is a Florida case that states prior to 2017 an affidavit of violation alleging a technical violation of misdemeanor probation does not toll or stop the defendant's probation period. Our client's probation period was 12 months and a VOP warrant was issued in 2014. However, because they never picked him up on the warrant, the warrant and the violation being filed did not stop the probation period and after 12 months the state no longer had jurisdiction to prosecute him. The State agreed they lacked subject matter jurisdiction and consented to an unopposed motion to dismiss. Case Closed.

Case #: 2300XXXXXXX

Charge: DUI

DUI

Our client was involved in a motor vehicle accident. During the crash investigation, the officers on scene stated that our client displayed slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and that there was an odor of alcohol on his breath. Our client also admitted to drinking wine prior to driving. Due to the severity of the accident, the officers did not ask our client to perform field sobriety exercises and instead asked him to provide a breath sample to determine the alcohol content of his breath. Our client refused and was subsequently arrested and charged with Driving Under the Influence with Property Damage, a 1^st degree misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail. The Ticket Clinic's lead trial attorney for Broward County filed a motion to suppress, alleging that the officer's request for a breath test was illegal and should be excluded from evidence. The court agreed and granted the motion, ordering that any evidence of our client's refusal to submit to a breath test was inadmissible. Our attorney set this case for trial and on the day of trial, the State was forced to dismiss all charges against our client.

Case #: 2200XXXXXXA

Charge: Reckless Driving

Traffic

Our client was pulled over for going 82 in a 45-mph zone. During the traffic stop, the officer observed our client fail to maintain a single lane and noted that he observed a very strong odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle and that our client had a difficult time providing his license, registration, and proof of insurance. Based on his observations, the officer asked our client to perform field sobriety exercises as part of his DUI investigation. Our client repeatedly asked for a creole speaking officer because he was having a hard time understanding the instructions, which were read in English. After performing field sobriety exercises, our client was arrested and charged with DUI. The officer asked him to provide a breath sample in English, and when our client again asked for a creole interpretation, the officer instead read the request a second time in Spanish, a language our client does not speak. The Ticket Clinic's lead trial attorney for Broward County filed a motion asking the Judge to exclude all evidence of the officer's request for a breath sample and set the case for Jury Trial. On the day of trial, the State Attorney's Office dismissed the DUI charge and our client accepted a plea to the reduced charge of Reckless Driving.

Case #: 2022CTXXX DUI Dismissed

Charge: DUI

DUI

Our client was arrested in Hamilton County and charged with DUI. After entering a plea for our client of not guilty, we asked the State Attorney's Office to provide us with all the evidence in their possession that they intended to use to prosecute this client. While reviewing this discovery we noticed that there was a problem with the breath test affidavit, and that our client's breath test should be excluded. Based on this evidentiary issue we were able to negotiate with the State Attorney's Office to accept our client into a diversion program. This diversion program resulted in a reduced charge of reckless driving. It is very important that a trained DUI attorney evaluates your case before accepting any offer from the State. Failure to do so can result in you pleading to a DUI that could have been reduced or dismissed.

Charge: DUI

DUI

Our client was arrested in Columbia County and charged with felony DUI with serious bodily injury. Our client was facing up to 5 years in State Prison. Post Miranda, our client, made very incriminating statements that the State intended to use to convict him. Our client provided a breath sample of 0.00, and also provided urine when requested. After review of the discovery in the case, it became clear that the State was going to have a very hard time proving that our client was impaired due to a problem with the FDLE's analysis of the urine sample. Based on this big evidentiary issue the State agreed to a withhold of adjudication to the offense of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. Our client served no jail or prison time and was spared spending the rest of his life as a convicted felon.

Case #: 2023-CT-****** Brevard County DUI Reduced

Charge: DUI

DUI

Our client was stopped for failing to yield at a stop sign to oncoming traffic. Law enforcement claimed that another vehicle had to take evasive action to avoid a crash with our client. Upon stopping, law enforcement noticed that our client had bloodshot eyes. No other indicators of impairment were mentioned. Our client was asked to complete Field Sobriety Exercises. Prior to completion of the exercises, our client informed law enforcement that he had recently had surgery on his back, and wouldn't be able to perform the exercises appropriately. Instead of listening to this information, law enforcement had our client conduct the Standard Field Sobriety Exercises. He was then placed under arrest and charged with DUI.

After reviewing the evidence received, our attorney discussed the facts alleged by law enforcement. Our client provided information that his eyes are constantly bloodshot due to the type of contact lenses he wears, and even sent current photos to our attorney to utilize. With this information, the attorney reached out to the Office of the State Attorney to discuss a potential resolution of the case, given the weaknesses in the State's case. As a result, our client resolved his DUI to the amended charge of Careless Driving, a civil ticket, instead of a criminal charge. Our client was able to avoid a criminal conviction on his record, and keep his license intact.
