Our client was stopped for traveling 101/70 mph. Our client was arrested and had to post a cash bind to get our of jail. His ticket only alleged a traffic violation, not a crime. Once out of jail, our client received a letter saying that his infraction was getting dismissed but he would be charged with a criminal violation. The new citation was never served on our client. The State attorney was seeking jail for this case.  Ticket Clinic lawyers filed a Motion to Dismiss, arguing that the arrest was illegal, as it was based on a traffic infraction, not a crime. On the day of trial, the Judge dismissed the case. Our client walked out of the court with no criminal charge AND no ticket!

Our client was accused of driving 107/60…47 mph over the limit. A careful reading of the police report indicated that the state would be unable to prove one of the essential elements of this crime. Ticket Clinic lawyers began fighting the case and pointed out to the State and the officer that they would not be able to prove the case. Even though State Attorneys often offer jail in these cases, we were able to convince the State to drop the criminal charge completely.  The client only got an infraction, no points/no conviction and he merely paid the minimum fine.

Our Client was charged with his second DUI and registered 0.229 on the Intoxilyzer.  However, because our Client was arrested in one county and unlawfully taken to another county for the breath test, we were able to have the administrative suspension of the license set aside and resolved the criminal case to a “wet reckless,” rather than a DUI.

Our client was stopped for a traffic stop.  After the officers had him step out of the car they stated they noted signs of impairment and asked him to perform Field Sobriety Exercises which he agreed to do.  After performing the Exercises the officers arrested him.  At the jail, he blew .000 and they requested a blood sample which the client refused to give. As soon as our attorneys received the case, they went to work on our client’s behalf. Based on what our attorneys were told by the client, the attorneys started negotiations with the State. The State offered the client Diversion to which he pled to a reckless driving after completing the conditions.

Our client was involved in a crash with another vehicle. Witnesses indicated our client was the driver. When police arrived, they noted signs of impairment on our client to include bloodshot watery eyes and an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from our client. Shortly thereafter, officers began a DUI investigation on our client. Our client asked officers if he was in trouble for DUI. Our client also apologized multiple times and indicated he was going through hard times. Officers later asked our client for a breath sample and he refused. After making both factual and legal arguments to the assigned prosecutor, the State dismissed the DUI with a Crash charge.

Our Client was stopped for improperly using a transporter tag.  The Deputy ran the VIN through the computer system and learned that the vehicle had last been registered two years prior.  However, rather than charging our client with driving a motor vehicle with an expired registration, the Deputy charged our Client with driving an unregistered motor vehicle.  Because we knew the State could not prove the accusation, the case was set for a jury trial.  On the morning of trial, the State dropped the case outright.  Sometimes setting a case for trial is sufficient to cause the State to drop it.

Our client – a professional driver – was involved in a crash. Officers arrived on scene and spoke with witnesses and with our client. Officers stated that they noticed our client displaying signs of impairment, including swaying, red, watery, and glossy eyes, slurred speech, and on odor of alcohol. Officers began a DUI investigation where our client admitted to having some drink and was arrested. He later provided a breath sample nearly twice the legal limit. Despite these facts, we were able to present significant mitigation on behalf of our client and get the DUI charge dismissed.

Our client was charged with DUI Enhanced Blow above .15. The State Trooper was stopped by a concerned neighbor and told the Trooper that a Black Dodge Durango was driving erratically in the neighborhood. Allegedly the trooper saw a Black Durango take a turn and followed the vehicle where it came to rest in its driveway and our client stumbled out of the vehicle. Upon approaching our client the Trooper noticed many signs of impairment.  He asked  him where he was coming from and our client  said McDonald’s. He was asked to perform Field Sobriety Exercises, which he performed poorly, was arrested and provided a breath sample of .272. We demanded the dashcam videos and any witnesses indicated in the police report. The videos were apparently not retained contrary to FHP’s protocol, and a witness was not provided. Result: On the eve of trial the prosecutor offered an amendment of the DUI to Reckless Driving.

Our client was arrested for driving without a Florida License. He showed his passport and Brazilian DL to the Officer. Despite this, he was still given a criminal charge. Our attorney filed a Motion to Dismiss as the State was unable to prove that the client was not in the country for more than 6 months. At the day of the hearing, the State dropped the charge.

Our client was cited for going over 100 miles per hour on the highway. Our attorney was able to negotiate taking a civil penalty for speeding in lieu of the criminal charge. Once the client was sentenced on his new civil penalty, the criminal case was dropped, saving and avoiding any jail time.

Our client was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped by Lake City Police Department for failure to wear a seat belt.   The vehicle was owned by our client but used and driven at the time of the stop by an employee.  The officers had a K-9 do a narcotics sniff of the vehicle.  A pill and residue were located in a cup in the back seat console of the vehicle.  Our client had no prior knowledge of the substance, however, was arrested for constructive possession of controlled substances. As soon as our attorneys received the case, they went to work on our client’s behalf. Based on what our attorneys were told by the client, the attorneys immediately emailed the State in reference to the case and insufficient evidence for the charges.  Our client even took a hair follicle test to provide to the State to show that he did not use controlled substances.  Once the State was able to confirm what our attorneys had been saying, and the State filed a No Information dismissing the charges.

Our client was stopped after an off-duty Indian River Deputy Sheriff called 911 in Brevard County to report an alleged recklessly driving semi-truck. Deputies responded to the scene where the vehicle was last seen and observed the semi-truck fail to maintain a lane and allegedly driving off of the road. Based on their interactions with our client, law enforcement believed she was under the influence of an unknown substance and attempted to conduct a DUI investigation. Our client refused to conduct Field Sobriety Exercises and was placed under arrest. At the police station, our client provided a urine sample for law enforcement to show them that she wasn’t under the influence of anything illegal. As soon as our attorneys received the case, they went to work on our client’s behalf. Based on what our attorneys were told by the client, the attorneys started negotiations with the State to inform them that our client has insomnia and was on medications for the same, which caused her to be tired while she was driving, not under the influence of anything. Once the urine results were returned to the State, it confirmed what our attorneys had been saying, and the State agreed to amend the charge from DUI to Careless Driving, a civil ticket, with no points or conviction assessed to our client’s license.
