Case No.:        15CT011978AXXXNB

Charge:          DUI with Property Damage

                       Leaving the Scene of an Accident (LSA)

Facts:

The client was involved in an accident where it was alleged that she hit another vehicle and fled the scene. The client parked her car in a parking lot where officers located her and began a DUI investigation. She performed roadside exercises and gave breath alcohol sample of .177/.179 as requested by the officer. She was arrested for DUI and also ticketed for Leaving the Scene of an Accident.

Result:

Mr. Reagan filed various motions on this case, including a Motion to Suppress statements and more importantly, a Motion to Suppress the Breath Test Results. Both motions were granted. The Motion to Suppress the Breath Test Results was based on the fact that the officer essentially forced the client into giving a sample of her breath by not explaining her options and rights when she asked.

After winning the hearing on the filed motions, Mr. Reagan was able to negotiate a plea with the State, where the DUI and the LSA were dismissed and the client took a plea to a Reckless Driving charge.

Volusia County Court Case No.: 2015305354MMDB

Charge:          Driving Under the Influence

                        Reckless Driving

Facts:

The client was stopped by Daytona Beach Shores PD for allegedly driving his vehicle at a high rate of speed through a parking lot. The officer observed that the client had bloodshot glassy eyes and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. The client performed Field Sobriety Exercises and was subsequently arrested for suspicion of DUI. The client refused to give a sample of his breath.

Result:

Mr. Reagan filed several motions including a Motion to Dismiss Refusal to provide a breath test after a previous Refusal and Motion to Suppress Statements in Violation of Miranda. The State conceded the Motion to Dismiss the Refusal as Mr. Reagan had previously argued successfully to set aside the administrative suspension on a previous DUI arrest of this client in 2013. The client was found Not Guilty of the DUI charge in 2013 as well. The client’s driving record did not reflect the previous refusal but his NCIC(National Criminal Arrest Record) reflected the arrest. As such, the State Attorney’s Office could not establish the prior Refusal which is a predicate for filing the criminal charge of Refusal.

In filing the Motion to Suppress Statements in Violation of Miranda, Mr. Reagan was able to demonstrate to the prosecutor how unprofessional the arresting officer conducted himself during the investigation. Mr. Reagan was able to negotiate a plea to the lesser included charge of reckless driving and the DUI charge was dismissed.

The client avoided two convictions for DUI in less in two years because he hired Mr. Reagan.

Palm Beach County Juvenile Case Nos. (2014-0017@#A02) & (2014-0016#$A02)

Charge: Sexual Battery on a child under the age of 12

Facts: Two brothers were charged with sexual battery on a child under 12 years of age. The alleged victim was their half-sister (same mother different fathers).

If brothers were convicted of the sexual battery charges they would have been deemed sexual offenders and would have been required to register as such for the rest of their lives.

Result: Edward Reagan conducted depositions of all law enforcement, the father of the daughter, the stepmother of the daughter, and of the child itself. After completion of all discovery, Edward Reagan was able to negotiate a resolution that allowed the boys to plead guilty to the misdemeanor charge of battery. The felony sexual battery charges were dismissed pursuant to the plea agreement. The brothers will not be sex offenders and will be able to expunge their criminal history since the court did not adjudicate the brothers delinquent.
