Fort Lauderdale DUI Law Office

The Client was stopped for blocking the outside lane on a major road.  Once the Officer made contact with the Client, the Officer observed the Client to be asleep but had an odor of alcohol and slurred speech.  The Office requested the Defendant conduct field sobriety exercises and the Client performed poorly.  The Client was then arrested for DUI and asked to provide a breath sample, to which the Client agreed.  When they arrived at the jail, the Client refused to provide a breath sample.  The Firm was retained and began to investigate the case.  Based up on the Client’s limited prior record ,and what ended up being a lack of evidence of extreme impairment, the State agreed to dismiss the DUI charge.

Our Client was charged with driving an unregistered motor vehicle.  However, the vehicle had a dealer’s tag which is one of the two types of tags to lawfully move unregistered vehicles on the roadways.  Because the State was unwilling to drop the charge, we set it for trial.  Immediately before the trial was to begin, the State dropped the charge.

Our Client was charged under the new super speeder law with driving at 113 MPH in a 70 MPH zone.  Upon examining the speed measurement documents, we observed that the radar documents did not comport with the requirements of law.  Shortly after we filed a motion in limine to exclude the speed measurement, the State voluntarily dropped the charge against our Client.  The State recognized that our defense of our Client was correct.

On 4/8/ 2026, The Florda Highway Patrol followed a vehicle in Lee County that was weaving in the roadside and failing to maintain a single lane.  The vehicle continued into Collier County before the trooper made a traffic stop.  After the Trooper made contact with the Defendant, he believed there were signs of impairment and field sobriety exercises were conducted.  After performing the exercises, the Trooper believed that the Defendant was under the influence of drugs or alcohol and was placed under arrest.  After being arrested, the Defendant voluntarily gave breath samples that were well under the legal limit of .08. The Trooper filed for DUI charges in Lee and Collier Counties based upon traveling through both locations.  After hiring the attorneys from the Ticket Clinic, all charges were summarily dismissed by the State Attorney’s office in both Lee and Collier County.

Officers say they stopped our client for nearly striking oncoming traffic, swerving, and not stopping before the crosswalk and stop bar on two separate occasions. Officers further noted that our client’s vehicle was rapidly accelerating and braking. Officers immediately pulled our client out of the car and placed him in handcuffs. Officers continued to investigate and searched our client’s vehicle. They began rummaging through the vehicle looking for anything incriminating. Officers wiped his seat down and claimed it tested positive for the presence of cocaine. Officers claimed they smelled a strong odor of alcohol emanating from his person and breath and that our client’s eyes were glassy and bloodshot. Our client refused to provide a breath sample when asked. Despite this evidence, the DUI charge was dismissed.

Our client was stopped by officers when officers stated that he swerved out of his lane and almost caused a crash with another vehicle. Officers further stated that he swerved out of his lane again and then into the far left lane. Officers initiated a traffic stop and stated they saw our client put a piece of gum in his mouth. Our client indicated that he recently got off work and was heading home. Later in the interaction officers indicated they smelled an odor of alcohol coming from our client. They also stated our client was moving slowly and slow to respond to commands. Our client performed field sobriety exercises and was arrested. He later provided a breath sample that was over the legal limit. Despite this, we got the DUI charge dismissed.

On January 28, 2026, attorney Alford received a verdict of Not Guilty on Count 1: the Refusal to Submit to Testing after seperating the charges. This case was highly litigated after being retained. The defendant experienced poor representation at this prior firm and elected to hire us. Within a few weeks, a motion to suppress was filed and heard. The Refusal trial was then conducted and won, however the job was not done. Mr. Alford filed a motion to dismiss to the DUI based on winning the Refusal charge. Although that motion was denied, a motion in Limine was granted in part taking out some of the evidence from the prior trial. After being set for trial several times, the State elected to reduce the DUI to a reckless driving with no probation or jail as a resolution if the client completed Proof of Compliance on the Suspended License charge. This closed out the case with NO JAIL OR PROBATION for any of the charges. The client was very happy with the result and representation.

Our Client was charged under the new super speeder law with driving at 101 MPH in a 70 MPH zone.  Upon examining the speed measurement documents, we observed that the laser log did not comply with the requirements of law.  Shortly after we filed a motion in limine to exclude the speed measurement, the State voluntarily dropped the charge against our Client.  The State recognized that our defense of our Client was correct.

Our client was charged with 2 counts of False Imprisonment, 6 counts of Domestic Battery, 2 counts of Domestic Battery by Strangulation, and 1 count of Tampering with a Witness. Our client faced a total of 31 years in Florida State Prison and had never been arrested before. Needless to say, the client was terrified – especially because he vehemently maintained his innocence throughout the process. Our lawyers attended court, took depositions, found inconsistencies in the alleged victim’s statements and testimony, and collected evidence all in an effort to get the client the best outcome possible. Finally, after about 2 years, the case began to come to a close. The matter was set for trial and we were ready to go. Ultimately, the State dismissed all felony charges against the client and he went home.

Our client came to us accused of Grand Theft over $100,000.00, a first degree felony in Florida, punishable by up to 30 years in Florida State Prison. Our client was accused of stealing a high-end luxury car but he maintained that he purchased it lawfully. Over the course of over 2 years, we took depositions in the case, we exposed inconsistencies, missing evidence, and missing witnesses. The State nevertheless made a 4 year prison offer to our client to resolve the case. Our client refused to accept this and was warned of the consequences by the Judge – but our client had confidence in his case and in his lawyers. Ultimately, the case was set for trial multiple times. On the eve of the final trial call, the State dismissed all charges entirely.  After years of fighting, our client was elated to know that he no longer had this horrible accusation hanging over him.

Our Client was charged with driving an unsafe commercial motor vehicle causing the death of another.  If our Client had been convicted as charged, our Client would be out of work for 6 months due to the mandatory driver license revocation.  At trial, we convinced the Court that our Client did not cause the death of another.  As such, our Client was able to return to work, the Client’s commercial driver license completely valid.

The Client was stopped for running a red light, and once stopped law enforcement believed she was impaired by alcohol.  The Client was asked to participate in field sobriety exercises and was said to have subsequently performed poorly pursuant to the Officer’s report.  The Client’s father had seen the Firm’s lawyers in action as a juror in a trial earlier in the year and decided to advise the Client to hire the Firm.  Once retained, the Firm then investigated the case and found that the Client looked very sober and alert, according to the video evidence in the case.  The State was consulted on the case and eventually the DUI charges were dismissed.
