Man in handcuffs | Palm Beach Garden criminal defense lawyer

When facing both DUI and drug possession charges in Florida, having an experienced criminal defense attorney who understands the complexities of medical marijuana law can be the difference between conviction and complete case dismissal. Our St. Lucie County client's case demonstrates how swift legal action and strategic advocacy achieved a No File decision within weeks of charges being filed.

Criminal Defense Case Details: 

Our returning client faced multiple charges in St. Lucie County: DUI and Possession of a Controlled Substance Without Prescription. These combined charges threatened significant penalties, including potential jail time, substantial fines, driver's license suspension, and a permanent criminal record that could impact future employment and opportunities. 

Having previously represented this client successfully in Palm Beach County for traffic violations and a prior DUI case, our firm understood their specific circumstances and was prepared to act immediately upon their retention.

St. Lucie County Defense Strategy

Criminal Defense Attorney Matthew Konecky implemented an aggressive early intervention strategy:

  • Immediate case assessment upon client retention 
  • Assisted with medical marijuana documentation process 
  • Strategic communication with the Assistant State Attorney 
  • Comprehensive evidence presentation supporting case dismissal 
  • Proactive administrative license defense coordination

Recognizing the client's eligibility for medical marijuana use, we guided him through obtaining proper medical marijuana card documentation. This crucial step provided the legal foundation needed to challenge the drug possession charges effectively.

St. Lucie County Case Outcome 

The results demonstrate the power of experienced representation and immediate action:

  • Initial Charges: DUI, Possession of Controlled Substance Without Prescription
  • Case Duration: Less than three weeks from retention to resolution
  • Prosecution Decision: Complete No File on all charges
  • Final Outcome: All criminal charges dismissed, no conviction recorded
  • Administrative Status: Driver's license hearing ongoing

Through strategic early intervention and comprehensive legal advocacy, we secured a No File decision from the St. Lucie County State Attorney's Office within weeks of the client's arrest, eliminating all criminal exposure.
