Case #: Multiple Felonies Dismissed

Charge: Felony Drug Possession

Felony/Other

Our client, an owner of multiple rental properties in Columbia County was charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanors in Columbia County, Florida. These charges all stemmed from his management of these rental properties. He was giving a bond in excess of half a million dollars. He was facing life in prison. After being retained we immediately started investigating these serious charges. With the assistance of private investigators, we complied copious amounts of evidence that we then provided to the State Attorney's Office showing that our client was innocent of almost every charge against him. We also deposed one of the alleged victims. The testimony of the alleged victim aligned with the evidence that we had compiled proving our client's innocence. Based on the evidence provided to the State and the deposition of one of the alleged victims the State agreed to dismiss nine out of ten charges including all felonies. Our client received no jail time, no probation, and minimal court costs and fines. If you are charged with a serious life felony do not hesitate to call TTC felony division. Our team of attorneys includes board certified criminal lawyers who have years of experience litigating the most serious offenses from homicides to trafficking.

Case #: DUI with SBI reduced to a withhold of adjudication on Reckless with SBI

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.

Case #: 2023-CT-**** DUI Orange County

Charge: DUI

DUI

Our client was involved in an accident at an Aston Martin dealership in Orlando, having hit a parked car. Upon law enforcement’s arrival, our client was outside of the vehicle, and walking around the scene. Law enforcement quickly questioned our client as to what happened during the accident. During the approximately 20 minute accident investigation, the lead law enforcement officer conferred with other officers on scene at least 3 times. Each time indicating that he could not tell if our client was under the influence or not. Specifically noting he did not smell any alcohol on her breath – even after she was less than a foot away from him leaning into his car door. After the crash investigation was completed, law enforcement, without the requisite suspicion, decided to conduct Field Sobriety Exercises. Based on our client’s performance on the exercises, she was placed under arrest and charged with a DUI. Upon reviewing the case and the evidence, our attorney learned that the facts did not support the arrest for a DUI. The officer’s report was directly contradicted by the evidence that was on his Body-worn Camera. Also, the officer violated our client’s rights under the Accident Report Privilege. Our attorney filed a Motion to Suppress evidence, to place the facts before a Judge and have the Judge rule that the investigation was unlawful and the case should be dismissed. Prior to the hearing on the Motion to Suppress, the State dismissed the charges against our client.
