It is impossible to avoid an enhanced DUI by having the State agree and stipulate that your Blood Alcohol Level is below a .15. the only way to avoid required sanctions is if the State agrees to reduce the charge to Reckless Driving (RD). Under the RD statute, there are no mandatory sanctions. However, the DUI sanctions are usually used as a framework. Sanctions may go up or down depending on the facts of the case. (Typically, the ignition interlock, immobilization and 6 month license suspension are removed)

Suspended DL

DRIVING OFFENSES / DWLSR

DWLSR

In the State of Florida a Driver’s License is considered a privilege, not a right. As such, there are multiple ways that a person can have their driving privilege suspended, revoked, or cancelled, such as failing to comply with traffic infractions, writing worthless checks, delinquent child support, criminal traffic violations, criminal drug charges or failing to comply with insurance and registration responsibilities.

When your Driver’s License is suspended, revoked, or cancelled for any of the above reasons, the DHSMV will send you written notification by U.S. mail to your last known address. Notice is complete upon the expiration of 20 days after deposit of the notification in the United States mail. Therefore, even if you never received the notification, you are presumed to have been notified by virtue of the mailing.

If you have been caught driving while your Drivers License has been suspended or revoked, you can be arrested for either DWLSR with knowledge or receive a ticket for DWLSR without knowledge. If you received a ticket for DWLRS without knowledge you have been charged with a moving violation. This means that if found guilty, you will have 3 points added to your driving record and will be assessed fines and court costs.

If you are arrested for DWLSR with knowledge your charge can range anywhere from a misdemeanor to a felony, where penalties can include jail time, prison time, court costs, and fines.

If you receive 3 or more convictions of DWLSR or DUI in a five year period, you will be automatically categorized as a “Habitual Traffic Offender”, and lose your Drivers License for 5 years. If you are already labeled as a Habitual Traffic Offender, we may be able to vacate one of your prior conviction and remove the “HTO” status from your license.

Benefits of Reckless Driving

Why is it beneficial to have my DUI reduced to Reckless Driving?

A DUI charge carries certain legislative imposed, mandatory penalties from which neither the court nor the state can depart. Upon convincing the State Attorney to amend your DUI charge to reckless driving, no mandatory sanctions apply. The legislature has not imposed any requirements when facing a Reckless Driving charge. Therefore, sanctions are negotiable. Traditionally, the State will use the DUI sanctions as a framework to fashion an offer on a Reckless Driving reduction.

Although your sanctions may be similar on a Reckless Driving to a DUI, you will receive many benefits if your charge is amended to Reckless Driving. On many cases, the State’s offer will include DUI sanctions without the 6 month license suspension or the 10 day immobilization of your vehicle.

A Reckless Driving charge does not carry the same stigma as a DUI charge. Many job applications or potential employers will specifically inquire as to whether you have been convicted of a DUI. If your charge is reduced to Reckless Driving, you will not have to face this issue. Further, often your insurance will be severely impacted by a DUI conviction. A Reckless Driving will not carry as harsh of an impact on your insurance rates.

DUI Defense

Fighting Your DUI:

An experienced Defense Attorney can fight your DUI by attack all of the elements of the State’s Case.  Anthony Rickman has successfully represented his clients at every stage of the DUI case and will do the same for you.

A DUI is generally broken down into the following three components: (1) the traffic stop (2) The Field Sobriety Exercises (3) the Breath Test or Refusal.  By attacking these parts of the case individual Mr. Rickman may be able to have the case dropped completely or be successful at a motion to dismiss.

Most DUI cases are based primarily on the interpretation of four pieces of evidence.

 1. The Stop of your vehicle

The crucial part of your case involves the stop of your vehicle.  In order to lawfully stop your vehicle, Law Enforcement is is required to prove hat they had probable cause that you committed a traffic infraction or reasonable suspicion that you were ill, tired, committing a crime or impaired.  If the Officer who stopped your vehicle lacks the legal justification to do so then your entire case could be thrown out.  Anthony Rickman has argued hundreds of motions regarding illegal traffic stops that resulted in his client’s DUI’s being dropped, reduced, or dismissed by the Judge.  If you feel your vehicle was unlawfully stopped buy the police it is important that you contact Anthony for a free consultation today.

2. Field Sobriety Tests

The police in 95% of the cases use Field Sobriety Tests as the primary indicator of
impairment to determine whether or not a person will be arrested for DUI.
However, there are a number of factors that can lead to a mistaken interpretation
of your impairment, such as:

• Being nervous, scared, tired or distracted during testing.
• Physical disabilities which prohibit one from performing the tests to the satisfaction of the arresting officer.
• One’s own natural lack of coordination and balance in everyday activities.
• The environment in which the tests were conducted:
  • -Were the tests performed on a flat level surface?
  • –How close to the roadway and traffic were you?
  • –The lighting condition or lack there of?
• Were the Field Sobriety Tests merely told to you or demonstrated correctly?

3. The Breath Test or Refusal

If you refused to provide a breath sample the State may argue that you did so because you knew you were guilty.  This argument is flawed in many ways.  If you have a refused the state will use your refusal against you. It is important that you have an experienced lawyer who is able to rebut the State’s arguments.

If you blew over the legal limit, it does not mean that you are guilty of DUI.  There are multiple reasons as to why a person may have a high blood alcohol level and not be impaired. Anthony Rickman is experienced in handling cases where his clients had blood alcohol levels above the legal limit.  Utilizing state of the art software, scientific equations, and his vast experience Anthony is able to present to the State evidence that would suggest that the blood alcohol reading taken at the jail is not what it was when you were driving.

Additionally, the results can be suppressed based on many factors such as:

• Improper maintenance, calibration, or lack of proper certification of the
  machine.
• The lack of proper training and licensing of the operator.
• Radio Frequency Interference to the machine via police radio signals.

Your breath may also be high due to faulty reading on the test. Inadequate readings can be caused by such things as:

• The failure of police to observe you 20 minutes prior to blowing into the machine.
• Hiccups, burping, or belching prior to taking the test can cause false “high” readings.
• The wearing of dentures, bridges or gaps between the teeth can cause artificial “high” readings

4. Other Relevant Issues for your Defense

• Did the officer have a valid reason to stop your vehicle?
• Were your Miranda warnings read to you prior to any questioning?
• Were any statements made by you misinterpreted or misunderstood by the police?
• Is your recollection of what happened consistent with the officers version and those of any passengers or witnesses

DUI Defense

One of the worst experiences a person could have is being pulled over and accused of DUI. If you have been accused of a DUI you were probably stopped for weaving, swerving, speeding, another alleged traffic infraction, or involved in an accident. After being stopped by an officer you were taken from your vehicle and asked to perform feats of balance while an officer stood over your shoulder and analyzed your every step without really telling you what to do or how to do it. While not considering your nerves, your balance problems, your fatigue, your medical conditions and your mental state you were then told by that officer that you performed poorly on these roadside tests placed in handcuffs and arrested. After being whisked away to the jail you were sat in front of a machine and asked to blow repeatedly or simply refused to take a breath test. Your license was then taken from you and you were placed in a cell until the next morning. After your release from jail you wondered whats next, how can I fight this charge, should I fight this charge, how can I fight this charge, or what can I do……Call the Rickman Law Firm

Traveling To Meet A Minor

Traveling to meet a Minor to Commit an Unlawful Sex Act

We have all seen the TV shows and heard the news reports of people being arrested in sting operations designed the catch adults using the internet to meet minors for sex acts. If you have been arrested, or accused of “Traveling to Meet a Minor”, or “Using the Computer to Solicit a Minor” it is important that you seek the services of an experienced attorney. Attorney Anthony Rickman has been successful in representing clients accused of Traveling to meet a minor. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Traveling to meet a minor is a serious offense and if convicted you do face the possibility of a substantial prison sentence and would be required to register as a sexual offender. The crime of Traveling to Meet a Minor to Commit an Unlawful Sex Act is committed when a person: Uses an on-line service, app, internet service, or electronic device to seduce, solicit, lure, or entice a person believed to be a minor child to engage in an unlawful sexual conduct; and Travels to a location for the purpose of engaging in sexual conduct with the child.. It should be important to note that to prove this crime the state does not need to show that you actually contacted the minor at the location just that you traveled. Furthermore the person you traveled to meet does not have to be a minor as long as there is sufficient evidence to establish your intent to meet a minor.

Often times a traveling to meet a minor charge is the product a government undercover sting operation. During these stings officers pose on websites, web apps and classifieds as minors for the purpose of finding those they believe are interred in sexual contact with minors. These Government operations involve tactics that could be illegal such as entrapment.
A law enforcement officer, a person engaged in cooperation with a law enforcement officer, or a person acting as an agent of a law enforcement officer perpetrates an entrapment if, for the purpose of obtaining evidence of the commission of a crime, he or she induces or encourages and, as a direct result, causes another person to engage in conduct constituting such crime by employing methods of persuasion or inducement which create a substantial risk that such crime will be committed by a person other than one who is ready to commit it.

Law enforcement cannot originate a criminal design, implant on an innocent person’s mind the disposition to commit the crime and then induce the commission of that crime so that the Government may prosecute. Often times in these to catch a predator cases law enforcement uses tactics to lure ordinary people to travel to a location by lying or deceiving the individual, seeking a person out when that person gives no indication they are looking for children and has no predisposition to commit the crime, by never stating or verifying their alleged age, by sending photos of attractive adults to the person as opposed to a child, or by instigating sexual conversation and enticing these individuals to travel to the officers location by manipulating their emotions or making repeated pleas.If you have been entrapped by law enforcement your case could be dismissed.

Drug Offenses

Florida Drug Charges:

One of the most common offices in our criminal Justice system are drug related offense. If you have been arrested for selling, purchasing, manufacturing, delivering, or possessing an illegal drug, there are many defenses that are available to you. When reviewing your case, we start from the time of the original police encounter and move to the time of arrest to determine if any portion of the police action was unlawful. An officer can only search a person pursuant to a protective sweep, in an exigent or emergency situation, incident to an arrest, with your consent, in hot pursuit, to conduct an inventory search, or in the course of a pat down or frisk. If your police encounter was unlawful, then any evidence obtained after the unlawful action can not be used against you. Questions that you should ask are:

The Police Encounter

• Was your contact with the officer a result of a citizen encounter?
A citizen encounter occurs when an officer encounters a citizen and the citizen feels free to go, but chooses to remain. Whether or not you felt free to leave will be based on a reasonable person standard and circumstances such as the language or tone of the officer’s voice, whether the officer blocked your path or movement, the number of officers, and whether the officer was in uniform will be considered.
• Was your contact with the officer a result of a an illegal stop?
If so, then the officer must have had a reasonable suspicion that you were or were about to be involved in criminal activity. Any search done at this point should be limited to a protective frisk to ensure that you were not carrying any weapons. If there were no objective circumstances to give the officer the reasonable suspicion that he needed to stop or frisk you, then the stop could be unlawful.
• Was your contact with the officer an investigatory detention?
An investigatory detention occurs when an officer stops a person and temporarily detains them. The length of the detention must be reasonable. The investigating officer needed to have reasonable suspicion “plus” of impeding or past criminal activity. Our attorneys will review the officer’s reasoning to ensure that it is based on object beliefs and circumstances.
• Was the contraband found subsequent to an arrest?
Once you are arrested (for any criminal offense), a police officer has the right to search you and your immediate person, including your vehicle. If contraband is found throughout this search than you can be charged for possession (or trafficking depending on the amount) in addition to your original arrest that prompted the search. However, if the officer lacked probable to arrest you in the first place then any evidence yielded from the subsequent search can not be used against you.
• Was the contraband found during the execution of a search warrant?
If so, there are many different factors that can be explored. Initially, the warrant needs to be reviewed to see whether the information that supported the warrant’s issuance was stale. Secondly, the scope of the search needs to be reviewed, i.e. was the contraband found in the location that the search warrant was issued for, or was contraband found in containers that were not reasonably likely to contain what the warrant authorized to search for. Finally, we explore whether the warrant was executed properly, i.e. did the officers knock and announce their presence as required, was it executed within 10 days of issuance.

The Arrest

• Where Miranda rights read to you prior to any questioning?
Once you are placed under arrest, your Miranda rights must be read to you before you are asked any questions. If they were not read to you, then any statements that you made after you were arrested can not be used against you.
• During questioning did you ever invoke a right to a lawyer?
If you exercised your right to speak to an attorney then any questions that were posed to you after you invoked your right were improper and should not have been asked. Any statements made in response to these questions were improper.
• Did you feel coerced or threatened into making a statement?
Consent that is the product of official intimidation or harassment is not consent at all and citizens do not forfeit their constitutional rights when they are coerced to comply with a request that they would prefer to refuse. If your consent to search resulted from coercion or intimidation, all of the circumstances surrounding the encounter must be considered in ascertaining the voluntariness of the consent, to determine whether police conduct would have communicated to a reasonable person that he was not free to decline the officer’s request or otherwise terminate the encounter. Evidence of coercion may be found from a prolonged detention, a statement that you are free to leave if you consent to a search, a threat to obtain a search warrant if you did not consent to the search, especially when the police lack probable cause or sufficient evidence for such warrant, an implied promise that defendant would not be prosecuted, or a repeated requests for consent.

The States burden of proof

• Can the state prove possession?
In order to prove possession, the state must prove that the person had either actual or constructive possession. To prove actual possession, the state must prove that you had knowledge of the presence of contraband and had the ability to maintain control over it or reduce it to possession. In order to prove constructive possession the state needs to prove that the contraband was found in your ready reach and was within your exclusive personal control and access. Depending on the factual circumstance, i.e. where the contraband was found or if more than one person was with you when the contraband was found, there are many different defenses that can be used to negate possession.
• Is there a confidential informant involved?
If you were arrested in conjunction with the State’s use of a confidential informant there are many inquiries that need to be made. Questions that should be asked are: Was the CI paid compensation for his or her services? Was the CI attempting to reduce his or her own sentence? Was there a conflict of interest between the CI and yourself? What evidence is there of the reliability of the CI? Is this the first case that the CI has worked on or has he or she done several?
• Was the weight of the drugs the correct?
The amount of contraband that you are found with is imperative to your arrest. A gram can make the difference between possession or trafficking charges. It is always important to weight the contraband with a scale that is independent from the law enforcement department.

If you have been accused of a Drug Crime in State or Federal Court DO NOT DELAY, contact Anthony Rickman at The Rickman Law Firm for a free consultation.

IF ARRESTED FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE YOU WILL BE HELD ON “NO BOND” 

Being arrested for a domestic violence charge can be a frightening experience. Florida law requires that a “No Bond” status be set until he or she is brought before a judge to address one’s eligibility. Typically, the court will issue an order allowing “No Contact” between the victim and the arrestee, which usually forces the arrestee to vacate a once-shared home. Additionally, unlike most criminal charges, Domestic Violence cases cannot be sealed or expunged from your arrest record, unless you are acquitted or the charges are dismissed.

After your arrest You will appear before a judge who will address the issue of your bond. You will be advised of the charge against you and the judge will determine whether to set a bond or release you on your own recognizance. All paperwork relating to your arrest will be forwarded by the arresting agency to the Office of the State Attorney. Your case will be assigned to an individual who will make a determination whether to formally file charges against you. By hiring an attorney soon after your arrest, we will be able to contact the State Attorney’s Office at this early stage to begin our defense of your case. If a decision is made to file charges, our representation will continue as your case works its way through the court system. Your case will be assigned to a prosecutor and a division. We will maintain contact with the prosecutor and the courts to defend your charge and work towards a resolution in your best interest. Unfortunately an arrest cannot be undone. However, we will work to protect your interests and your rights leading you through every step of the criminal justice system.

Once you re-released, you must follow the specific court order as to whether you can return to your family home. If the court order allows your return, you will be able to reside in the family dwelling so long as you maintain no violent contact with any resident of the home. If the court order prohibits residing at the residence, you must have a law enforcement officer escort you to obtain any essential personal belongings. The court order and law enforcement will only allow certain items removed from the family home. We can assist in your understanding of the court’s order and possibly file a motion seeking more liberal visits or even return to the family home.

You must follow the specific court order as to whether you may have contact with the alleged victim or other associated party to your case. If the court ordered no contact, you must not attempt to contact the person in any way. All forms of communication (personal meeting, telephone, email, text message, fax, etc.) are completely prohibited. In addition, you must not ask anyone to make contact on your behalf. If the court allowed contact, you may have permission to make contact with the alleged victim in the case. We will assure that your rights are protected and assist you in having appropriate contact, as ruled upon by the judge, with the other party to your case. If the order is unclear or you would like to see different terms, we may be able to file a motion on your behalf seeking favorable relief. Violation of a court order could lead to additional criminal charges including but not limited to: contempt or violation of a domestic violence injunction, if one is in place.

Once you are arrested, the State of Florida becomes a party to the charge against you. Although there is an individual listed as the alleged victim, the case will be styled, “The State of Florida vs. you”. Therefore, even if the victim does not want to press charges, the State may proceed with prosecution. We will discuss and negotiate matters with the State Attorney’s Office drawing attention to factors in your best interest and supporting your defense.

Lewd and Lascivious Conduct/Statutory Rape

Lewd and Lascivious Battery (Statutory Rape)

Lewd and lascivious battery (statutory rape) is a serious sex offense. As Florida Statute 800.04 states, the crime of lewd and lascivious battery is committed when a person engages “in sexual activity with a person 12 years of age or older but less than 16 years of age” or “encourages, forces, or entices any person less than 16 years of age to engage in sadomasochistic abuse, sexual bestiality, prostitution, or any other act involving sexual activity.” 

The penalty for lewd and lascivious battery convictions varies depending on the age of both the victim and the offender. If convicted of lewd and lascivious battery, a defendant faces a mandatory prison sentence and mandatory registration as a sex offender on the Florida Sex Offender Registry. Lewd and lascivious battery is a second-degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison and up to 15 years of probation. If the victim is under the age of 12, a conviction can result in a minimum prison sentence of 30 years. For defendants under the age of 18, lewd and lascivious battery is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison. Repeat offenders are committing a first-degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in prison. 

Cases involving lewd and lascivious battery accusations are complex and offer limited defense strategies. For example, the victim’s voluntary consent is not a permissible defense strategy for lewd or lascivious battery cases, and neither is a lack of knowledge of the victim’s age, either by ignorance or misrepresentation by the victim. Lastly, the victim’s lack of chastity is not a permissible defense.
