On January 31, 2018, at approximately 7:38pm, a Hillsborough County Deputy observed a blue truck traveling northbound on Highway 41 North operating approximately five feet behind the vehicle which he felt was more closely than is reasonable and prudent.

Case #: 2017CT00####
Charge: DUI
DUI
The Client was involved in an accident. When police arrived on scene they did an accident investigation and determined the Client was the at fault driver. The police also believed the Client was impaired and had him submit to roadside sobriety exercises, which he did not perform well on. The Client was arrested and gave a breath sample of a .270, more than three times the legal limit. The Firm investigated the case and deposed the actual witnesses to the crash. The Firm discovered that the main witness that could identify the Client as the driver of the vehicle, was difficult to locate. As result the Firm filed a motion to strike said witness from the State's case, which would have been a significant loss to the State. Before the motion could be heard, the State agreed to dismiss the DUI charge.
