Case Summary

Date: 10/16/2023
Case #: 23-T-XXXX Public Drunkenness
Charge: Public Drunkenness
Felony/Other
Our client was charged with CMV parts violation and Public Drunkenness. He was licensed in Florida with a CDL, which he needed to perform his job. No evidence was provided by the State regarding Public Drunkenness, so I asked the prosecutor to dismiss that charge. The prosecutor agreed.
I then discussed the CMV parts violation, which our client acted proactively to repair before the police officer even arrived. I showed the prosecutor the repair receipt with timestamps to compare to the citation, confirming our client’s assertion that he got the car fixed immediately, before law enforcement arrived at the scene. I asked for a dismissal of that charge on that basis, and the prosecutor agreed. Instead of receiving 3 points on his license and possibly losing his job as a commercial driver, our client had no consequences whatsoever because all charges were dismissed (rightfully so)."

Case #: 23M****08 – DUI Dismissed
Charge: DUI
DUI
Police officers noticed a car parked in a dark parking spot. After approaching, the police officers noticed two open containers in the car. The car was running. Our client was asked to turn the car off and to step out. Our client explained that he hadn't started drinking until after he parked the car.  After conducting a DUI investigation, our client was arrested and charged with a DUI and Loitering.  A breath test was requested and the result was a .16.  Ticket Clinic lawyers took over the case and began questioning the legality of the initial "stop" of the vehicle.  Additionally, based on GA law, we felt that the loitering allegation was improper as well.  After discussions with the prosecutor, it was agreed that the stop was questionable at best and the loitering was improperly charged.  The State agreed to dismiss both criminal charges.
