Multiple DUI Charges in Polk County

DUI Lawyer in Lakeland

Law enforcement, prosecutors and our state legislators are all determined to reduce the instances and repercussions of DUI offenses. With a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or subsequent DUI conviction , the penalties get increasingly harsh. My name is William D. Sites, Attorney at Law and I have over 2 decades helping individuals, who are facing criminal charges. I offer personalized service to each person who comes to me for help, as I know that you trust me with the protection of your rights and freedoms. My foremost advice is to use a Lakeland criminal defense attorney who has a proven track record of success in resolving DUI violations, as failure to do so can be costly.

For a second DUI conviction you face a fine of up to $1,000, imprisonment for up to 9 months, license revocation of up to 5 years and installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicle. For a 3rd offense you can be fined up to $2,500, be incarcerated for up to 1 year, your license will be revoked for a minimum of 10 years and an ignition interlock device will be placed on any vehicle you lease, own or drive regularly for a minimum of 2 years.

DUI Penalties

If you are found guilty of a third DUI offense within a 10-year period, it is considered a third degree felony. You can be fined up to $5,000, be imprisoned for up to 5 years and you will lose your driving privileges for at least 10 years. If you are convicted of a 4th or subsequent violation, no matter the time period of the convictions, you will be penalized as a person would be for a third offense except that your license will be revoked permanently.

These are the hard facts regarding DUI convictions but this is where an accomplished DUI attorney may be of great help. The criminal justice system is not interested in treating those with prior DUI convictions fairly. You need someone who can fight hard for you and has the experience with local judges and prosecutors and in the courtroom to achieve results.
