Central Texas Lawyers Help Clients Fight Drunk Driving Charges

Proven Harker Heights DWI attorneys.

Fighting back against a charge of driving while intoxicated might help you keep your driving privileges while avoiding hefty fines and/or lengthy incarceration. Unfortunately, many motorists don’t understand the defenses that exist even if a breath or blood test indicates that their blood alcohol level was above the standard legal limit of .08 percent. Seigman, Sinkfield & Libersky, PLLC in Harker Heights counters the allegations and evidence brought by the authorities and works diligently to identify faulty test results and unlawful police actions that could destroy the case against you. In Killeen, Copperas Cove and across the area, our Texas attorneys take on prosecutors and find creative ways to help reduce or eliminate DWI penalties.

Firm serving Bell and Coryell counties advises on issues affecting DWI cases

Throughout Bell and Coryell counties, attorney Tom Seigman offers aggressive criminal defense in DWI cases and makes sure that clients understand critical legal issues such as:

  • Test refusal — Motorists who’ve been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving are often unsure about whether to take a breath or blood test ordered by police. The state’s implied consent rule means that anyone driving on Texas roads automatically consents to these tests and refusing to give a sample can lead to a license suspension of at least six months regardless of whether you are actually intoxicated.
  • DUI — Texas drivers under 21 years old are not permitted to operate a vehicle with any alcohol in their system. Young motorists face charges of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol if any amount is detected. This misdemeanor count could be added to a DWI charge if the test result exceeds the adult legal limit.
  • Improper stops and searches — Drivers have fundamental rights, and when overzealous authorities violate them, the evidence collected during those stops can be thrown out. Our firm thoroughly examines the circumstances that lead to stops, searches and arrests to see if legal justification existed for the officer’s actions.

In a free consultation, we’ll evaluate the case being brought against you and evaluate potential strategies to challenge the allegations.

Skillful litigators seek dismissals and appropriate sentence reductions

Even if it’s your first offense, a DWI conviction can trigger a sentence of up to six months in jail in addition to a fine and license suspension. Whether you’ve never been accused of drunk driving before or are being charged as a multiple violator, we’ll press to reduce the penalty you face. When a loss of driving privileges will prevent you from getting to work, our firm can seek an occupational license for you. This gives you the ability to drive to your job with the installation of an ignition interlock device that requires you to pass a sobriety breath test before starting your vehicle.
