Oct 17, 2014OUTCOME: Count 1 - Withhold of Adjudication as to the downfiled charge of Possession of Paraphernalia (originally charged as felony - possession of cocaine), Count 2 - No File
Count 1 - Possession of Cocaine, Count 2 - Reckless Driving. I filed a motion with the Court, essentially asking to suppress any and all evidence stemming from an unlawful arrest. My client was imm ... ediately arrested upon being stopped for "Reckless Driving." The allegations being that he was speeding in excess of 40 MPH. However, speeding alone does not amount to Reckless Driving, as per Florida Statute and case law. Therefore, I was able to convince the prosecutor to "No File" the count of Reckless Driving and downfile the felony charge of Possession of Cocaine, to a misdemeanor charge of Possession of Paraphernalia.

15009748CF10A
N/AOUTCOME: No File - Dismissed
Our client was arrested for allegedly strangling his ex-girlfriend weeks after the incident. We sent evidence to the prosecutor that our client was not the initial aggressor. We also pointed out flaws ... in their evidence, specifically the lack of markings on the victim’s neck that her breath had been impeded, as that is an element of the crime. Another element is the fact that the alleged victim and the defendant have to be actively dating or had a previous domestic partnership. The evidence showed that they were no longer dating, and that a domestic partnership could not be established based on the fact that the two never lived together. Based on the law and the facts in the case, we continued to contact the prosecutor’s office relentlessly until the charges were dropped.

N/AOUTCOME: No File - Dismissed
Our client was woken up in the middle of the morning by U.S. Marshalls kicking down his door and executing a warrant on a guest staying overnight. After the suspect was arrested, our client was harasse ... d and told that his house smelled of marijuana. Our client was threatened and eventually gave consent for the officers to search his home. Deputies from the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office arrived, searched his home, and allegedly found more than 20 grams of marijuana. We were able to convince the State that they did not have enough evidence to show that the marijuana belonged to our client. Furthermore, we raised various legal issues with the search, including the fact that no warrant was ever produced. We warned the State that if they were to file charges, we would be filing multiple motions to suppress. As a result, the State dowfiled the charges to misdemeanor possession charges. We were then able to convince the misdemeanor prosecutor to dismiss the charges if our client completed a 4 hour online drug course and 10 hours of community service.
