Fort Lauderdale DUI Lawyer Wins Drinking and Driving Charge Made by Officer Pohorence with Long History of Police Misconduct

Fort Lauderdale DUI Attorney Beats Drunk Driving Charge Made by FLPD Officer with Long History of Police Misconduct

Outcome of DUI Case in Fort Lauderdale:

William was driving down Florida State Road 84 when he was pulled over by Officer Poherence of the Fort Lauderdale police department for driving in the wrong lane. Rather than simply issuing a ticket for such, Poherence held William on the scene until he was able to get a DUI unit to arrive. Sgt. Bohm of the FLPD DUI Task Force would later charge William with a DUI. Fortunately for William, however, Rossen Law Firm was able to get his DUI charge dropped.

Client Concerns During DUI Case in Fort Lauderdale:

William was extremely rattled during his entire encounter with the Fort Lauderdale Police. Not only did he have to deal with anxieties of accidentally facing the wrong way of traffic, but he also had the misfortune of having to endure the harsh treatment of Officer Poherence, an officer with a long history of violent arrests, particularly against African Americans.  Officer Poherence would later be charged with assault on a non-violent Black Lives Matter protestor in a situation that occured after the resolution of William’s case.

Facts about the DUI Case in Fort Lauderdale:

William was driving down Florida State Road 84 in the wrong lane. He was soon after redirected by Officer Poherence, who blockaded the area so that the readjustment could be made. Officer Poherence took things a step further by forcing William to remain on the scene until a DUI unit could arrive. That DUI Task Force officer, Sgt. Bohm, then compelled William to perform a variety of Field Sobriety Exercises, and then arrested him soon after on DUI charge.

Strategy to fight the DUI Case in Fort Lauderdale:

William contacted the DUI Lawyers at the Rossen Law Firm in Fort Lauderdale to represent him. The strategy for challenging William’s drunk driving charge focused heavily on the behavior of both officers. Officer Poherence did not have the requisite proof of alcohol impairment needed to lawfully hold William on the scene. This in turn meant that Sgt. Bohm lacked the requisite proof needed to conduct his DUI investigation. On top of all of those factors, William was essentially told that he was required to perform voluntary exercises. These red flags in the officer’s investigation were all that was needed to convince state prosecutors that Williams drinking and driving charge should be dropped.

I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
