2025CT########### DUI Palm Beach 

The Client was stopped for speeding.  Once stopped law enforcement noticed an odor of an alcoholic beverage and asked the client to exit the vehicle.  Once outside the vehicle the officer noticed slurred speech and asked the Client to perform field sobriety exercises, which the client declined.  The Client was then arrested for DUI and subsequently refused to give a breath sample.  The Firm was retained and reviewed the video evidence in the case.  After reviewing the evidence the Firm decided it would be a good case for a jury trial as there really was a lack of evidence for DUI.  The Firm also requested the State get permission from their supervisor to reduce the charge to reckless driving.  The State’s supervisor declined to reduce the charge to reckless driving.  Shortly before trial, the Assistant State Attorney in the case agreed with the Firm that the case could not be proven and dismissed the DUI over his supervisor’s objection.
