The Client was involved in an accident and once police arrived on scene they noticed he seemed impaired.  The Officers weren’t sure if he was under the influence of controlled substances or alcohol, but after doing a brief investigation they observed an odor of alcohol and the Client admitted to taking various controlled substances.  Law enforcement got a urine same which then confirmed the controlled substances.  The Firm was hired and began negotiating with the State Attorney’s Office which did not want to dismiss the DUI without suspending the Client’s license.  The Firm pointed out that the Client was extremely cooperative and also had no prior criminal history and was only on the medication for strictly medical reasons, and an expert may be able to testify that the Client didn’t feel much of an impairment effect from said medications.  The State eventually agreed and dismissed the DUI without requiring the Client’s license to be suspended.

The Results

The Client’s car was witnessed by law enforcement jumping a curb and then hitting a street sign.  The Client then immediately left the crash scene in his vehicle.  The police quickly stopped his vehicle.  Once the crash investigation began the Officer noticed that the Client had indicators of impairment.  Those indicators of impairment led the Officer to conduct a DUI investigation.  Two sobriety exercises were conducted and the Officer stopped the exercises and arrested the Client.  The Client then refused to submit to a breath sample.  The Firm was hired to handle the case       and, because of the nature of the case, the State wasn’t agreeing to dismiss the DUI based on the accident involved.  The Firm had numerous conversations with the State that highlighted the fact that absent the hitting of the street sign there wasn’t enough information to show the Client was impaired.  This fact, coupled with the facts that the Client refused to give a breath sample, and the Client had no prior history, convinced the State attorney to dismiss the DUI charge.

The Client was stopped for driving 20 miles under the speed limit and driving all over the roadway.  Once stopped law enforcement began a DUI investigation and the Client was only able to do one exercise before saying he was too nervous to do the exercises, and refused to attempt any further exercises.  The Client was then arrested for DUI and transported to jail where he refused to give a breath sample.  The Firm discussed the case with the State and focused on the issue that not only was the stop of the Client’s vehicle a somewhat weak reason, but there wasn’t a lot of additional evidence to suggest impairment.  The State agreed and dismissed the DUI.

The Results

The Client was stopped for a move over violation because he did not move over or slow down when law enforcement was on the side of the road for another traffic stop.  The law enforcement on scene noticed signs of impairment and conducted sobriety exercises, which the Client did mostly well on.  Still the Client was arrested for DUI.  Once at the jail the Client refused to give a breath sample.  The Client hired the Firm, and the case was eventually set for trial based on the fact that the driving pattern wasn’t bad and the exercises showed little to no impairment.  The State Attorney agreed and dismissed the DUI along with two additional separate cases the Client picked up subsequent to the DUI for resisting arrest and trespassing.

The Results

Our client is a senior citizen who was driving out of her driveway to meet friends to play cards and mistakenly struck a bicyclist causing minor injury.  The police arrived and eventually arrested our client alleging she was driving under the influence of alcohol.  The firm’s attorney investigated the case and learned the client was left inside her home alone after the crash, but prior to when the police arrived.  The attorney for the firm argued the State would not be able to prove the client was impaired, but even if the prosecutor was able to prove impairment, the prosecutor would not be able to prove she was impaired at the time she was driving.  The firm's attorney revealed the client had access to alcohol stored inside her house.  The prosecution conceded and offered a lessor of Reckless Driving. The client accepted the favorable outcome in lieu of a trial.

The Results

The Client’s vehicle was stopped for speeding 15 mph over the posted speed limit.

Once stopped the Officer stated he smelled marijuana and conducted a DUI investigation.  The Client performed somewhat poorly on the roadside sobriety exercises and was subsequently arrested for DUI.  Once at the breath alcohol testing facility the Client was requested to give a breath sample, which returned negative for alcohol.  Then the Client was asked to give a urine sample, which she refused to give.  The Officer then told her that whether she gave the sample or not her license would be suspended.  The advice given by law enforcement was incorrect.   As a result the Firm was able to not only win the Client’s license back but also convince the State to drop the DUI charge.

The Results

Law enforcement stopped the Client after the Client’s vehicle passed the Officer while he was conducting a traffic stop and the Client failed to move over or slow down.  Once stopped the Client and the Officer began arguing and the Client chest bumped the Officer.  The Officer conducted a DUI investigation and then arrested the Client for DUI and Battery on a law enforcement officer.  The Firm immediately began working on both charges. The State to agreed to dismiss the Battery charge,  based upon the fact that it could not be shown that the Client intentionally ran into the Officer.  In addition, The Firm argued that the Client did not appear to be severely intoxicated in the video and also had no prior criminal history.  The State agreed to dismiss the DUI charge if the Client wrote a letter of apology to the Officer involved.

A 911 called reported an impaired person stumbling around the front of a car that was parked at a 7-11. After entering and then exiting the store (less than 2 minutes later), the 911 caller noticed that the same person was now inside the vehicle, who appeared to be passed out.  Police and paramedics arrived and the occupant of the car was awoken.  3 empty hard cider bottles were inside the car, and the officer noticed numerous signs of impairment. The police officer testified at the trial that the keys were in the center console, within close reach of the occupant. During the medical clearance, the Defendant became agitated and caused a disturbance within the ambulance.  Ticket Clinic lawyers took the case to a jury trial and established that there in fact were 2 "911" calls, relating to different people, and that our client (the occupant of the car) was not the person stumbling around the front of the car, as reported.  We were also able to establish that just because the keys were in close proximity to the "driver" he still was not in actual physical control of the car.  After a 3 hour jury deliberation, a verdict of NOT GUILTY was returned.

The Results

Client was accused of failing to yield at an intersection resulting in a fatal crash. Even though the State produced two Traffic Homicide Investigators and an eyewitness at trial, The Ticket Clinic Attorneys were able to successfully argue that the Client had been improperly charged under the wrong law, resulting in the case being completely dismissed. The client did not suffer a license suspension, no points were assessed, and the Client does not have to pay any fines.
