After said investigation the Client was arrested for DUI and subsequently refused to provide a breath sample. The Firm investigated the case and immediately noticed that the stop of the Client for driving his scooter in the bike lane was improper. There was no actual statute that prevented such action. As a result the Firm argued that the stop was improper and the case should be dismissed. The Officer then sent in another report and added that he was also stopping the Client for not registering the scooter, which was in direct contradiction to the previous case. The Firm argued to the State that the DUI charge should still be dismissed. The State agreed and dismissed the DUI charge.

The Client, a 19 year old, was driving his dirt bike on the sidewalk. When he saw an officer’s vehicle he immediately turned around and headed the opposite direction. The Officer gave chase and turned on his lights and sirens. Eventually, much further down the road, the Client was stopped. The firm investigated the case and discovered that while the officer believed the client knew the Officer was following him, there was nothing showing that the client had the ability to actually see the Officer was behind him and attempting to stop him. His dirt bike was not street legal, had no rear view mirrors and a loud exhaust. The Firm argued these facts, combined with the fact that the Client’s helmet further restricted his field of both sight and hearing, created reasonable
doubt. The State agreed and dismissed the felony charge of Fleeing.

Our client was stopped by police for "violating a traffic control device" after changing lanes over a solid white line. After searching his vehicle, officers found marijuana and charged our client with possession of cannabis. The lawyers at the firm argued that crossing the solid line alone did no constitute a traffic infraction that would justify a stop and search of the clients car. After a several-hour motion hearing, the judge agreed with the defense and granted our motion. The prosecution was forced to dismiss the case.
