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.

On May 9, 2025, Tampa PD was patrolling and came upon a recent car accident. Our client’s vehicle has been hit by an Uber Eats driver, which caused minor damage.  Our client called the police for assistance. Even though our client called for help, the police blamed him for the accident. After noticing signs of impairment, a DUI investigation began and our client refused to participate.  No roadsides or breath test were done. This was all captured on video. Inside the vehicle were receipts from a local bar showing that drinks had been purchased recently.  Ticket Clinic lawyers took on the case. This was not the Defendant’s first offense. Ticket Clinic lawyers filed a motion to suppress, in an attempt to exclude evidence.  Before the hearing, the state agreed to drop the DUI.

Officers came into contact with the Client who was stopped in the roadway sleeping at approximately 7:35 a.m..  The Client stated he had not drank since the day before.  He had injuries that prevented him from doing FSEs but he did the HGN, the officer was not certified to do HGN.  The client did not appear intoxicated at all on the video.   After retaining the largest DUI law firm in Florida, the Gainesville Office filed our notice or appearance and entered a plea for our client of not guilty. Shortly after filing we contacted the State and share our concerns that our client was cooperative and did not appear intoxicated on the video and that they had to prove that he was intoxicated at the time they came in contact with the client.  Additionally pointing out it was over 8 hours and they let people who are intoxicated out after 8 hours because they have sobered up.  Shortly there after a No Information was filed by the State.

On October 26, 2024, The Defendant was a automobile accident.  When the police arrived at the scene, the Defendant refused to cooperate with the investigation.  According to the police, the Defendant showed signs of being impaired and was arrested for Driving Under the Influence, Resisting Arrest without Violence and Failure to Obey a Lawful Command.  The State Attorney offered a plea resolution that included probation, drver’s license suspesion, community service and court costs.  After hiring the attorneys from The Ticket Clinic, the charges for Driving Under the Influence and Failure to Obey a Lawful Command were dismissed on September 4, 2025.

Client was sleeping at a light per officer’s report.   The client did not speak English and the Officer did not speak spanish and therefore never read implied consent.  The Formal Hearing invalidated the suspension based on this so we contacte the State and pointed out that he did not understand the officer and that there was insufficient evidence for a DUI.  The State agreed to allow him to plea to a Reckless driving involving alcohol. After reviewing the discovery and reviewing the offer of The State. An agreement was reached which led to our client pleading to Reckless Driving involving Alcohol.

Our Client was arrested for DUI but there was no odor of an alcoholic beverage.  Even though there was no odor, the arresting officer compelled our Client to submit to breath testing, which confirmed there was no alcohol in his system.  Because the breath test was negative, the officer compelled our Client to provide a urine sample, which contained the matabolites from Marijuana.  We filed a motion to suppress the breath test and anything that stemmed from it; specifically, the urine test. Our position was that the breath test was unlawfully compelled because the officer had no cause to believe our Client was imparied by alcohol.  Before our motion could be heard by the Court, the State dropped the DUI.

On or about September 19, 2024, our client was accused of shoplifting from Publix in Orlando. After stopping our client for the alleged Theft, law enforcement officers noticed a cloud of smoke that smelled like burnt cannabis coming from inside the vehicle. Based upon the observations made of our client, he was asked to participate in Field Sobriety Exercises, which our client agreed to do. After the completion of the exercises, Law Enforcement arrested our client and charged him with Driving Under the Influence. After his arrest, our client was taken outside of the jurisdiction of the arresting agency, and asked to provide a breath and urine sample, to which our client agreed. The urine sample came back positive for THC. The breath sample was .000, indicating that no alcohol had been consumed. Upon reviewing the case, our Firm immediately got to work investigating the facts of the case, and protecting our client’s rights. Based upon the facts alleged by police, our Firm filed a Motion to Suppress Evidence, alleging numerous violations of our client’s Constitutionally protected rights. Prior to any hearing on the Motion to Suppress Evidence, the State dismissed the case in it’s entirety against our client.

Our client was stopped by Law Enforcement due to having an expired vehicle registration. Officers alleged that “immediately” upon making contact with our client, they smelled the odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from the vehicle – which was occupied by more than one person. Officers asked our client to step out of the vehicle, for nothing more than an alleged odor of alcohol, and proceeding to question him about how much he had drank while at the beach. Our client, submitting to the authority of the police, admitted to drinking 3 White Claws over the course of the day. Based upon this admission, officers asked our client to participate in Field Sobriety Exercises. After his performance on the exercises, our client was arrested and charged with DUI. Our client refused to provide a breath or urine sample to police. Immediately upon receipt of the case, our Firm began investigating the facts alleged by law enforcement and protecting our client’s Constitutional Rights. Based on potential issues in the investigation, as well as our client’s lack of criminal history, our attorney’s were able to negotiate our client an outcome to a reduced charge of Reckless Driving. Our client avoided a criminal conviction on his record, and avoided further penalties against his license. Once he is done with his conditions, he could even apply to have his record sealed to potentially avoid it being used against him for future employment purposes.  

Our Client was arrested for DUI that stemmed from a traffic accident.  A Sergeant was the first to arrive on scene, but the case was investigated by a road officer.  Our Client cooperated with law enforcement and blew 0.141/0.136 on the Intoxilyzer. During the course of our representation and investigation into the case, the road officer was arrested for theft.  As such, the State would be unable to call him and unable to admit the breath test at trial but still had the Sergeant and others at the scene to testify against our Client.  With a case that could go either way for either side, through proper negotiations, we resolved the case to a wet reckless.  As our Client had a commercial driver license, this resolution avoided a permanent disqualification of his commercial driver license and complete loss of employment.

Client was pulled over and subsequently arrested for DUI in Suwannee County. After retaining the largest DUI law firm in Florida, the Gainesville Office filed our notice or appearance and entered a plea for our client of not guilty. Shortly after filing we began negotiations with the State which concluded with our client entering into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the State. Pursuant to the Agreement the State agreed to stop prosecuting our client for DUI. The case was removed from the criminal docket and the client was required to complete certain conditions. After completing these conditions pursuant to the agreement, the State filed an amended information of reckless driving which our client entered a plea to.

Our Client was arrested for DUI, but the case was a triple refusal: no field sobriety exercises, breath test or questions/answers.  Prior to making a request for a wet reckless, out Client completed DUI school; the counseling required by the school; a 12-hour advanced driver improvement school; attended MADD’s victim impact panel; impounded his vehicle for 10 days; and, submitted to testing at Quest Labs.  Our employment requires travel back and forth across the Canadian border.  A DUI conviction would result in our Client’s employment being terminated, as a DUI conviction bars entry into Canada.  Our Client is the sole breadwinner for the family, including two children.  Our Client has no other experience or skills outside of the current employment; thus, the potential for finding other employment is quite bleak.  Through proper negotiation with the State, our Client was permitted to plea to a wet reckless, avoiding a devastating DUI conviction.

Our Client was charged with battering a longtime friend.  The named victim and their spouse had attended a BBQ at our Client’s home.  The “victim” and their spouse argued, with the “victim” leaving the BBQ; leaving the spouse and children behind.  This was out of character, so our Client, along with others at the BBQ were concerned for the “victim’s” safety.  Eventually, the spouse and children returned to their residence, with our Client, along with another friend, not far behind them.  According to the “victim,” our Client was upset with “victim” and committed an unprovoked attack on the “victim.”  At our Client’s Stand Your Ground Motion to Dismiss, the spouse attempted to support the “victim’s” claims but admitted to not being present for the actual altercation.  Our Client and his friend, who was present for the actual altercation, testified that when the “victim” finally came home, the “victim” accused our Client of attempting to have an affair with the spouse.  Upon the “victim” approaching our Client aggressively, our Client held his hand out to keep the “victim” at bay.  Upon the “victim” taking a swing at our Client, our Client had no choice but self defense, taking the “victim” to the ground until the “victim” calmed down.  The Court found our Client acted in self-defense, standing his ground and DISMISSED the case.
