911 was called for a disabled vehicle at a traffic light. It was 7 pm and dark outside. The Driver was seen sleeping at the wheel and would not wake up despite yelling and knocking on his window by the 911 caller. The vehicle remained at the light through at least 3 light cycles. A PSLPD Officer spotted the car in question and as soon as he got behind it, it veered quickly and abnormally off the road into an adjacent parking lot where it parked across 3 parking spaces, parking crooked. The driver fumbled for documents and could not find registration or insurance. The Officer smelled a heavy odor of alcohol emanating from the driver's mouth as he spoke with slurred speech. An open beer was observed in the center console and the driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle. As the driver exited the car, he stumbled and needed to use the car for balance. Driver refused roadside FSEs and the breath test. On the way to the jail the driver said, "I f**ked up," and urinated in the back of the police car. He was charged with Resisting Officer without Violence for purportedly putting his hands from the back of his body to the front of his body while handcuffed and seatbelted in the back of the patrol car. Jury found him Not Guilty of both charges.
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 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.
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 firm filed a Motion to Dismiss demonstrating that these charges were unlawfully filed by the State of Florida as a Felony. The State conceded to our Motion to Dismiss and all felony charges were dropped.

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.
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.
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.
The client was charged with leaving the scene of an accident after crashing into another vehicle causing severe damage to both vehicles. The Client then proceeded to leaving the scene and was followed by a witness. The Firm discussed the case with the State Attorney and argued that there may be issues with the State being able to prove the case if they had trouble with their witnesses. After said negotiations the State agreed to dismiss all charges.
