Case History
Case Number: XX-XXXXXXXXXX
Practice Area: Criminal Defense
Description: While an Officer was working off duty at a local bar/restaurant, he observed the defendant driving on the wrong side of the road in a parking lot. The officer then approached the vehicle and allegedly observed the defendant to have bloodshot and watery eyes, slurred speech, a strong odor of alcohol and burnt cannabis emanating from the vehicle as well as an open beer container in the vehicle. The officer then placed the defendant in handcuffs because he was allegedly verbally aggressive and had severe mood swings. When a backup officer arrived, the handcuffs were taken off of the defendant and he was read his Miranda rights. The defendant was placed under arrest after he completed field sobriety exercises. The defendant was charged with DUI, Possession of Cannabis and Driving While License Suspended.
Outcome: Mr. Sobel successfully argued that the actions on the part of the officer were illegal. The DUI investigation, the cannabis and the information obtained by the officer were all suppressed. The state subsequently dropped the charges

The officer alleged that he believed that the defendant was impaired and requested him out of his vehicle to conduct a DUI investigation. The officer also said that he observed the defendant to have bloodshot eyes. After the defendant exited the vehicle, the Officer observed what he thought was a machete protruding from under the driver seat. The defendant was charged with carrying a concealed weapon. A DUI investigation was never even conducted.

Case Number: XX-XXXXXXXXXX
Practice Area: Criminal Defense
Description: Florida Highway Patrol Trooper XXXXXXX was dispatched in reference to a traffic accident. After speaking to several witnesses, the trooper determined that the defendant was the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident. The trooper made contact with the defendant who was being treated for minor injuries by Fire-Rescue. While questioning the defendant, the trooper made physical observations that led him to suspect that the defendant was under the influence. The trooper then requested the defendant to perform field sobriety exercises, to which the defendant refused and was subsequently arrested. Post arrest, the trooper requested Fire-Rescue personnel take a blood sample from the defendant. The blood test revealed that the defendant was under the influence and the defendant was charged with DUI.
Outcome: Outcome: Mr. Sobel wrote and filed a motion to suppress the blood results in this case. After reviewing the motion and the binding case law, the state conceded to the motion and the blood results were suppressed.
