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.
The police approached the Defendant’s vehicle and saw him holding a bag of a green leafy substance. The Defendant admitted it was cannabis and that it was his. He was arrested for Possession of Cannabis. The attorney for the firm investigated the case, and was able to get the Defendant into a drug treatment program. Upon completion of the program, the attorney for the firm was able to get the State to drop the case completely.
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.
Our clients were observed by police officers driving side by side in a drag race on a isolated stretch or road in Orange County. The officers conducted a traffic stop on both of the vehicles. One of our client’s has a commercial license and this racing charge (includes a mandatory license revocation) was going to cost him his job. The Ticket Clinic Attorney was able to reach out to the officer and to the prosecutor and successfully get all of the criminal charges dismissed without either client having to go to court.
Client was arrested for the first time ever while driving on a suspended license. The Ticket Clinic Attorneys were able to negotiate with the Office of the State Attorney, resulting in no criminal conviction, keeping the client’s record clean, all without the client ever having to appear in court.

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.
The Client was stopped for crossing over the lane lines multiple times. The Officer discovered that the Client seemed impaired by alcohol after making contact conducted a DUI investigation. The Client did not do well on the exercises and was then arrested for DUI. Once at the Breath Alcohol Testing facility he refused to take a breath sample. The Firm investigated the case and discovered that the stop of the Defendant's vehicle may be improper, in addition to the fact that the Defendant had a clean record, and was extremely cooperative with the Officer's investigation. The State Attorney's office agreed and dismissed the DUI charge.
Our client was driving to the local grocery store around 1:15 in the afternoon when she lost consciousness and crashed her vehicle into the sign of a business. Prior to leaving
in her vehicle our client consumed her daily prescription medication and noted that she was feeling ill. The officer did not arrive until our client was being placed into the ambulance and taken to the local hospital. There were several other witnesses to the accident and our client had contact with a volunteer officer prior to transport to the hospital. Our client then performed field sobriety exercises while laying in her hospital bed at the Emergency Room. Upon completion of the FSE'S, our client was arrested and provided a breath test which registered 0.0.
After reviewing the case and the video, we were able to find facts which proved critical to having the DUI dismissed.
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.

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.
