Kendall DUI Lawyers Serving Miami Dade

Speak With a Kendall DUI Lawyer Today

A DUI arrest in Kendall can lead to two separate matters: a criminal case in Miami-Dade County court and an administrative action involving your driving privileges. If you received notice of an administrative suspension, you generally have 10 days to request review or consider another available option. Your first court date may come after that deadline.

The DUI & Criminal Division of The Ticket Clinic represents drivers arrested in Kendall and nearby southwest Miami-Dade communities. Our attorneys review the reason for the stop, officer observations, video, field sobriety exercises, and any chemical testing. They can also help you identify the deadlines shown on your paperwork.

Preserve your citation, release documents, receipts, messages, and the names of any witnesses. Details that seem minor immediately after an arrest may matter when the evidence is reviewed.

DUI
09/15/2026
On March 13, 2026, the Tallahassee Police Department responded to a multiple vehicle accident. Upon arrival to the scene, the officers came upon the driver outside of the vehicle that was and started their initial accident investigation. During the course of their investigation, they noticed signs of impairment, including leaning against his car for balance, slurred speech, and glossy eyes. Based upon these observations, the police requested the driver to submit roadside sobriety tasks. After submitting to the roadside tasks, the officers believed that the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol and placed under arrest for driving under the influence.  After hiring the attorney’s from the Ticket Clinic, the Driving Under the Influence charges were dismissed.
Traffic

Our Client was charged with racing, but the facts alleged by law enforcement did not support the charge.  As such, we set the case for trial, but upon explaining the deficiencies to the prosecutor, the case was dropped outright.

DUI
08/24/2026
On November 25, 2025, our client was arrested for DUI after a deputy claimed he was unable to maintain his lane of travel. However, based on case law and Florida Statute 316.089(1), our Attorney filed a motion to suppress the entire stop, arguing that there was no probable cause for a traffic infraction and therefore, he was illegally seized. Before even scheduling the motion to suppress for a hearing, the State offered to reduce the DUI charge to a reckless driving charge. The client happily accepted and resolved his case on August 20th, 2026.
Felony/Other
08/21/2026
On July 27, 2026 our client was stopped for an illegal u-turn.  Upon making contact with the driver, the police officer noticed that the driver was acting nervous and had a white residue around his mouth. The driver was asked to exit the car and a DUI investigation ensued. At the conclusion, our client was not arrested for DUI. However, the police did ask for permission to search the car. The driver consented.  Behind the driver’s seat was cold beer in a plastic shopping bag. The police officer moved the bag and found what appeared to be a bag of cocaine underneath the bag of beer.  The Defendant did not admit to possessing the drugs but did admit to placing the beer in the rear seat. The police presumed that our client knew that the drugs were there, without any significant proof.  The passenger was in possession of marijuana but was not charged. The driver was arrested for cocaine possession. Post Miranda warnings, the driver did admit to using cocaine recreationally.  To further complicate the case, the Defendant was already out on bond for another criminal case.  At the bond hearing, the State wanted to revoke the previous bond but Ticket Clinic lawyers were able to prevent that and our client was released without any monetary bond.  Ticket Clinic lawyers began working on the new felony and immediately contacted the case filing attorney at the State Attorney’s office in an attempt to highlight the weaknesses in the case.  After a lengthy review, the State decided to drop the entire case.
DUI
08/14/2026
On July 2, 2026, the Charlotte County Sheriff observed a vehicle approaching at an extremely high rate of speed. The Sherrif initiated a vehicle stop.  At the initial contact, a strong odor of burnt marijuana was detected. The Sheriff began a DUI investigation. During the course of their investigation, they noticed signs of impairment including slow and slurred speech, red, bloodshot and watery eyes, and difficulty responding to questions. Based upon these observations, the police requested that the driver to submit roadside sobriety tasks. After submitting to the roadside tasks, the officers believed that the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol and placed under arrest for driving under the influence.  After hiring the attorneys from the Ticket Clinic, the Driving Under the Influence charges were dismissed.
Traffic
08/14/2026
Our Client was charged with dangerous excessive speeding, specifically driving at 102 MPH in a 65 MPH zone.  Because we knew the State could not win the trial, the case was set for a jury trial.  On the morning of jury trial, the State amended the crime of dangerous excessive speeding to the civil infraction of 102 MPH in a 65 MPH zone.  We immediately moved to dismiss the case, arguing that since the Trooper never provided all the evidence (speed documents) to the State, the Trooper should not be provided a second bite at the apple.  The Court agreed and dismissed the case.
DUI
07/30/2026
In May 19, 2025, our client was arrested for a DUI while parked in a closed fast-food business. He was parked at the door just before the drive through speaker. During the night, a Port St. Lucie Officer observed the parked car in the closed business. Later in the night, he observed the same car in the same position as parked. The officer elected to pull him over using his red and blue lights to conduct an investigation. Because of this, the client was stopped inappropriately. After the attorney from The Ticket Clinic filed a motion to suppress, the State reduced the charge to reckless driving in which he was happy to accept. The case closed July 30, 2026.
DUI
07/22/2026
Our client was arrested for DUI after being involved in a two-car crash. During the crash investigation, the officer claimed our client exhibited signs of impairment—slurred speech, bloodshot and glassy eyes, and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. He advised our client that the crash investigation was complete, and he would be investigated for DUI.   During the DUI investigation, the client admitted to drinking one beer and two mixed drinks.  The client refused to participate in field sobriety exercises and was arrested for DUI. He declined to provide a breath sample. He was charged with DUI and Refusal to Submit to a Breath Test. Despite these allegations, the State produced only video footage of our client being transported to jail and refusing to provide a breath sample. The arrest report, however, stated that body-worn camera footage captured all pre-arrest activity. Recognizing the significance of the missing evidence, our attorney set the case for trial and filed a motion to compel its production or, alternatively, to limit testimony concerning events that should have been documented on the missing video. Prior to trial, the State reduced the DUI charge to alcohol-related reckless driving and dismissed the Breath Test Refusal charge entirely. In exchange, our client agreed to pay a fine and complete community service, with no probation and no driver’s license suspension.
DUI
07/22/2026
A deputy with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrested our client for DUI after alleging he was driving without headlights, drifting out of his lane, and showing signs of impairment. The agency later reported breath‑test results of 0.146 and 0.148 at the county’s DUI testing facility. After navigating the legal process and completing the DUI diversion program, our client’s case was fully dismissed. This solid outcome protects his record and his future.
DUI
07/10/2026
Our client was stopped for speeding and passing in a no passing zone in Monroe County, Florida. When the officer approached our client, the officer noted what he believed to be signs of impairment to include the strong odor of alcohol, bloodshot and watery eyes, and slurred speech. The officer also stated he observed 2 cups containing alcoholic beverages in our client’s vehicle. The officer also claimed that our client admitted to drinking. The officer requested our client complete field sobriety exercises. Our client was cooperative and agreed to perform the exercises. Despite his cooperation, officers arrested our client for DUI. Our client later provided breath samples of .174 and .196, both over 2 times the legal limit. We immediately began work on the case. We reviewed all of the written materials as well as the body worn camera footage. After speaking with the prosecutor, the State agreed to dismiss the DUI charge against our client.
DUI Traffic
07/08/2026
Client was charged with DUI with property damage, Refusal to Submit and Leaving the Scene.  Officers got a description of W/M driving grey Dodge.  In report also called brown.  Client was stopped for speeding and held at roadside for almost 2 hours waiting for FHP.  Client is not white.  Spoke to officers when depositions not granted.  Many inconsistencies and the client is disabled veteran.  Trooper was unsteady on instructions when doing them.  While client had a few issues with FSEs easily explained by disability.   State agreed to amend to Reckless with Alcohol and Refusal and dismissed the Leaving the scene since I pointed out there is no way they could prove the client was driver at the time of the crash.

Frequently Asked Questions About DUI Arrests in Kendall

What happens after a DUI arrest in Kendall?

You may be taken to a Miami-Dade detention facility for booking and given paperwork about your release, court appearance, and driving privileges. An arrest may begin both a criminal case and a separate administrative license matter. Keep every document you receive and check its deadlines.

Where are Kendall DUI cases handled?

Kendall DUI cases proceed through the Miami-Dade County court system. Your assigned courthouse and courtroom depend on the charge and court division. Check your court notice for the specific date and location, and confirm both before your appearance.

How long do I have to challenge a DUI license suspension?

If you received an administrative suspension after a qualifying test result or refusal, you generally have 10 days to request a formal or informal review with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Another restricted-license review option may be available in some circumstances. Have your paperwork reviewed promptly.

Is my license suspension separate from my criminal DUI case?

Yes. The administrative license matter and criminal prosecution are separate proceedings with different procedures and deadlines. Resolving one does not automatically resolve the other.

Can I drive while my Kendall DUI case is pending?

A pending criminal case does not itself give you permission to drive. Check your citation and license paperwork for any temporary permit, restrictions, and expiration date. Confirm your current license status before driving.

Can I challenge a Kendall DUI if my breath result was over .08?

A reported breath result does not end the inquiry. An attorney can examine the stop, the testing procedure, instrument records, timing, and available video. Whether any issue provides a defense depends on the evidence in your case.

What if I refused a breath or urine test?

A refusal can have consequences for your license and may become an issue in the criminal case. The effects depend on the test requested, your history, and the circumstances. Have your citation and arrest records reviewed promptly.

Can prescription medication lead to a DUI charge?

Yes. A DUI allegation may involve drugs or medication as well as alcohol. A valid prescription does not automatically resolve the charge. The state’s allegation of impairment and the evidence supporting it must be evaluated.

What penalties can follow a first DUI conviction?

Possible consequences include fines, probation, DUI education, community service, license revocation, and possible jail time. A high alcohol level, a minor passenger, a crash, or injury may affect the penalties. An attorney can explain what applies to your specific charges.

What if my Kendall DUI arrest involved a crash?

A crash may add evidence or separate charges, especially if there was property damage or injury. Preserve photographs, the crash report, insurance documents, and witness information. An attorney should review the crash allegations alongside the DUI charge.

Can a Kendall DUI charge be reduced or dismissed?

Possible outcomes depend on the evidence, charges, and prior record. An attorney can identify legal or factual issues, discuss potential resolutions, and contest the allegations when appropriate. No particular outcome is guaranteed.

What if I live outside Florida?

Out-of-state drivers still need to address the Florida case and any applicable license process. Do not assume that returning home removes a court obligation. Keep your paperwork and ask an attorney about appearances and possible effects on your home-state license.

How much does a Kendall DUI lawyer cost?

Fees depend on the charges and the work the case requires, including whether it involves prior offenses, testing issues, a crash, injury, or a felony allegation. Contact The Ticket Clinic for a quote and ask about available payment options.

How do I contact the Kendall DUI office?

Call 305-760-6560. The office is at 13550 SW 120th Street, Suite 514, Miami, FL 33186. Have your citation, license paperwork, and court notices available when you call.

DUI Defense Attorneys Serving Kendall

A DUI defense begins with understanding the actual evidence. The police report is one account of the stop; recordings, testing documents, witness information, and the client’s recollection may provide additional context.

The Ticket Clinic’s DUI & Criminal Division handles criminal DUI matters and helps clients understand the separate administrative license process. Our attorneys can explain what the charges require the prosecution to prove and assess issues raised by the investigation.

Why Choose Our Kendall DUI Lawyers?

DUI investigations can involve legal, factual, and scientific questions. Our attorneys examine the evidence before advising a client about possible defenses or resolutions.

A case review may include:

  • The officer’s stated reason for the traffic stop
  • Whether the stop was extended and why
  • The observations used to justify the arrest
  • Body-camera and dashboard-camera recordings
  • How roadside exercises were explained and performed
  • Road, weather, lighting, and traffic conditions
  • Breath-testing procedures and instrument records
  • Blood or urine collection and laboratory records, when applicable
  • Medical conditions or other factors affecting observations
  • Witness accounts and nearby surveillance recordings
  • Differences between written reports and recorded events

An arrest is not a conviction. The available defenses and possible outcomes depend on the facts and evidence of the particular case.

What Happens After a DUI Arrest in Kendall?

After a DUI arrest in the Kendall area, a person may be taken to a Miami-Dade detention facility for booking and processing. The release process depends on the charges and circumstances.

The arrest may then lead to:

  1. A criminal DUI case in the Miami-Dade County court system.
  2. An administrative driver’s license matter with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

These proceedings have different deadlines and may have different outcomes. A decision in one does not automatically decide the other.

After an arrest:

  • Keep your citation, release paperwork, and court notices.
  • Review any license suspension notice immediately.
  • Write down what happened while the events are fresh.
  • Preserve receipts, messages, photographs, location records, and witness information.
  • Avoid discussing the allegations on social media.
  • Ask an attorney about both the license matter and criminal charge.

DUI Cases in Kendall and Miami-Dade County

Kendall DUI cases proceed through the Miami-Dade County court system. The courthouse and courtroom depend on the charge and case assignment. Check the citation, release paperwork, or court notice for the location and date of your appearance, and confirm those details before each hearing.

Depending on where the stop occurred, an investigation may involve the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, Florida Highway Patrol, or another agency with jurisdiction. Identifying the agency helps determine which reports, recordings, dispatch records, and testing materials should be reviewed.

An arrest following a stop on Kendall Drive, SW 120th Street, the Turnpike, or another southwest Miami-Dade road must be evaluated on its individual facts. The road where the stop took place does not, by itself, determine the strength of the case.
