Case #: 2018-MM-****
Charge: DUI
DUI
Over the 4th of July weekend, our client was operating his boat on Lake Conway in Orlando, Florida when he was stopped for a standard safety inspection. After observing our client's bloodshot and watery eyes, poor balance, and numerous empty alcohol containers, officers of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission conducted an investigation for Boating Under the Influence. After performing field sobriety exercises designed for boating cases, our client was arrested and transported to the Orange County Jail where he refused to provide a breath sample. Our client's family and friends record the incident on their cell phones and provided the videos to our attorney. These were the only videos available in the case. After reviewing the reports and the videos our attorney filed a motion to suppress evidence and dismiss the case. Prior to the hearing the State Attorney dismissed all charges against the Defendant. The $500 civil penalty for refusing a breath sample after an arrest for Boating Under the Influence was dismissed as well.

Case #: 2018CT******
Charge: DUI
DUI
The Client was involved in an accident. She was not injured but was taken to the hospital anyway. Once the Officer met with the Client he noticed that he smelled alcohol on her and that she seemed impaired. She gave both a legal and medical sample of her blood at the hospital, which returned a result that was more than double the legal limit. The Firm deposed the Officer that requested the legal blood sample and discovered it was improperly requested. The State still refused to dismiss the DUI, arguing they still had the medical blood result. The Firm then argued that because there was no injury to the Client, that law enforcement created the medical blood draw by transporting her to the hospital for no reason. The State agreed and dismissed the DUI.

Case #: 2016#####8
Charge: DUI
Uncategorized
The Client got into a small accident, had his passenger speak with the other party involved in the accident and then left the scene. The Client then shortly afterward stopped at a gas station next to the intersection where the accident occurred. An Officer that had been called to the scene made contact with the Client at said gas station. The Officer observed signs of possible impairment with the Client and requested he do some sobriety exercises. The Client then performed some of the sobriety exercises but refused to cooperate futher. The Officer then arrested the Client and took him to the Breath Alcohol Testing center. While at said facility the Client was asked to provide a breath sample which he refused. He was then charged with DUI and Leaving the Scene of the Accident. The Firm discovered that the gas station was extremley close to the accident scene and that the accident involved almost no damage to either vehicle. Because of the aforementioned mitigating factors, as well as the lack of evidence and lack of the clients prior criminal record, the State agreed to dismiss the DUI and the Leaving the Scene of the Accident charge.
