Client was involved in her first traffic crash, she was scared and fled the scene driving back home. The police put out a BOLO “Be On The Lookout” for her vehicle. A supervisor with the police department located her vehicle just prior to pulling into her neighborhood. He conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle, the client was identified as the driver of the hit and run vehicle, and she admitted that she was the driver the officers. After several weeks of back and forth negotiation with the State Attorney we came to agreement. The criminal charge of Leaving the Scene was dismissed and she was only responsible for a non-moving infraction of failing to provide information. The Client happily paid the $116 – no criminal charge and no points on her license.
The police were called to a residence regarding a domestic dispute where KE resided with his mother and step-father. KE was accused of striking his step-father in the face with a closed fist and breaking a ceramic coffee cup over his step-father's head. The alleged actions resulted from an argument between KE and the step-father over comments that KE made to his mother. KE has prior arrests for domestic violence. The incident did not present any independent witnesses as KE and the step-father were the only two individuals present at the time. KE was arrested and released to pre-trial services with a no contact order for the step-father. KE retained our services at this point and after a consultation, we decided to set the case ready for trial and, after learning of the intentions of his step-father to not testify, have the step-father indicate his lack of willingness to prosecute and also filed a motion to modify the no contact provision on 9-20-17. Our office contacted the Assistant State Attorney assigned to the case and indicated the weaknesses of their case. Unfortunately, 2 days later, on 9-22-17, KE did not heed our warnings to stay away from the step-father and was arrested on a violation of domestic violence injunction and held no bond. Upon learning of KE arrest, we contacted the assigned Assistant State Attorney who, after a recitation of the above-mentioned facts, promptly agreed to no info the domestic violence battery and drop the violation of injuction, thereby leading to KE release from custody on 9-22-17, free of any charges.
On May 06, 2017 at approximately 12: 17 a.m., a FHP Trooper responded to eastbound State Road 574 west of U. S. Highway 301 in reference to a reckless driver
B. O. L. 0). The Tampa Bay Regional Communications Center ( TBRCC) received a call of a dark in color Hyundai, traveling eastbound on Interstate 4( State
oad 400) at mile marker 1, that was driving all over the road, failing to maintain its lane of travel, driving without headlights on. The caller continued to follow the dark in color Hyundai as it exited onto State Road 574, traveling in an easterly direction.
I observed the dark in color Hyundai proceed through the intersection of State Road 574 and U. S. Highway 301 without headlights on as Trooper was traveling northbound on U. S. Highway 301 south of State Road 574. The Trooper came into contact with the dark colored Hyundai eastbound on State Road 574 west of Falkenburg Road and paced clocked the vehicle traveling at 65 mph in a posted 50 mph speed zone. The Trooper then activated her emergency equipment and conducted a traffic stop on the Hyundai for driving without headlights and speeding.
While speaking with the defendant, the Trooper observed that the driver had bloodshot watery eyes and detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his facial area. Trooper also observed the defendant had slow and lethargic movements and at times, his words were slurred. Due to observing several signs of impairment on the
Defendant, Trooper asked if he would be willing to perform Standardized Field Sobriety Exercises ( SFEs) in order to ensure he was not impaired beyond his normal
faculties and he was okay to drive his vehicle. The defendant consented.
The Standardized Field Sobriety Exercises were performed on -scene and impairment was observed. The Defendant was then placed under arrest for DUI. The Defendant refused to provide a breath sample after Florida's Implied Consent law was read.
Results: The Firm set the case for trial and prior to the trial date, the State dropped the DUI charge.
Our client was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. In his police report, the officer stated that he pulled our client over for having an obscured tag (namely that the words "Sunshine State" could not be seen), failing to maintain a single lane and for not stopping quickly enough after the officer had activated his emergency lights. That same police report indicated that there was video footage of the incident, however, that footage was not turned over by the police department. Ticket Clinic attorneys filed a motion with the Court who ordered the video be turned over within 15 days. After 15 days had passed, the police department still did not turn over the footage and Ticket Clinic attorneys again filed a motion with the Court who again ordered the video be turned over threatening that certain sanctions would be imposed were the case to go to trial. After this second motion, the footage was turned over and it quickly became evident that there were glaring differences between what the police officer had written in his report and what was in the video. First off, the tag was not obscured and Ticket Clinic attorneys provided case law to the Assistant State Attorney which stated this was not a basis for a stop anyway. Secondly, our client did not fail to maintain a single lane. The video showed that our client swerved slightly within his lane but never once actually drove out of his lane. Lastly, the video showed that our client pulled over almost immediately after the officer had activated his lights. The Assistant State Attorney was so disgusted with all the inconsistencies that he agreed to dismiss the case.

The Firm looked into the case and discovered that the Client had an impeccable driving record and was extremely cooperative with law enforcement in their investigation.
