24******9

Our client was pulled over for speeding at 2AM in the Keys. The Officer stated he noticed an odor of alcohol and that her eyes were bloodshot, glassy, and droopy. The Officer asked our client if she had anything to drink and she admitted to drinking 2 beers. The Officer later noticed 2 16 ounce cans of Corona in the driver’s seat area of our client’s vehicle. The Officer asked our client to conduct Field Sobriety Exercises and she agreed. Despite performing well on the exercises, the Officer arrested our client for DUI. Our client was a professional and was devastated at the thought of what this could do to her career. We quickly began working on the case and presented arguments about why our client was not guilty of DUI. We pointed out legal issues with the manner in which the Officer conducted the investigation and presented those to the State Attorney. The State agreed and dropped the DUI case completely before the Arraignment hearing.
