A Case Dismissed Because of the Client's Frail Health

July 2014

Case dismissed.  After two and a half years, our client's DUI case was totally dismissed.  We had to produce some medical evidence to do it.  Our client's health was so precarious that it did not seem that she would be able to assist at her trial.  That made her technically incompetent to stand trial.  It's not always easy getting the doctors to do what we want.  But the case is now over and the client is happy.

Practice area(s): DUI / DWI

Court: Sarasota County
