Polk County DUI Defense Attorney

DUI Charges in Polk County

If the police felt that your appearance or driving demonstrated signs of intoxication, this will have led to your arrest on a DUI charge. The offense will either be proven by the impairment of your normal faculties or by a blood or breath alcohol level of .08% or higher. When you were arrested, two legal actions were started against you. The Department of Motor Vehicles will conduct a hearing regarding the suspension of your driver's license and the criminal justice system will take up the charges against you.

A seasoned Lakeland criminal defense lawyer can represent you in both your DMV hearing and in your criminal proceedings. I am William D. Sites, Attorney at Law and I have 22 years of experience in defending the rights of those accused of criminal actions. My years in practice have demonstrated that using an attorney who is experienced in DUI violations and their defense greatly improves the chances for a positive outcome to your case.

DUI Convictions

At my firm, I help individuals from those charged with a first time DUI up to multiple DUI offenses. If you were charged based on the results of a breath test or field sobriety tests, I know when and how to effectively challenge the evidence against you. When you or a loved one has been charged with underage DUI or a more serious DUI charge such as vehicular manslaughter, I know the local prosecutors and judges and how to negotiate with them to produce the best outcome in your case. When negotiation is not possible, I work hard to provide hard-hitting DUI defense at trial.

Strictly enforced penalties for DUI conviction include fines, community service, vehicle impoundment, driver's license revocation, mandatory DUI school, installment of an ignition interlock device and incarceration. The reasons why you were stopped, however, and the legality of the stop itself may be called into question. The validity of intoxication tests and their reliability can frequently be challenged in such a way as to seriously weaken the prosecution's case. It is important to act quickly though, as the sooner I can be involved with your case the better opportunity I have to deliver high-quality legal services on your behalf. My firm also proudly serves Lakeland, Winter Haven, Bartow, Lake Wales, Haines City and Auburndale.
