About
Mr. Sifers was Oklahoma's FIRST Member of the National College for DUI Defense. Mr. Sifers was Oklahoma's FIRST Sustaining Member of the National College for DUI Defense. Through his efforts, MANY other lawyers followed and became members of this national organization which is the LEADER in making lawyers better in defending persons changed with alcohol related traffic charges.Mr. Sifers is the ONLY Oklahoma Lawyer to ever be elected to the Board of Regents for the National College for DUI Defense. He was elected to the Board of Regents of the National College for DUI Defense on July 26, 2000, and served until May, 2005. Less than 40 men and women in the world have EVER reached this level of recognition in the field of DUI Defense.In 1996, Mr. Sifers was the very FIRST attorney in Oklahoma to own an Intoxilyzer 5000. At that time, there was probably less than 10 lawyers in possession of these law enforcement machines in the entire nation. He has been an intense student of these machines since 1996. He now is a co-owner of eight of these machines!In 1996, Mr. Sifers became the FIRST DEFENSE ATTORNEY in Oklahoma to receive CERTIFICATION & FORMAL TRAINING as an Operator on these Intoxilyzer 5000 breath test machines. These machines are the primary testing device in DUI Cases. Until 2000, he was the ONLY such qualified defense attorney. In that year, the Oklahoma Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence (the Oklahoma State agency over these machines) held it's first class for Certification of NON-LAW ENFORCEMENT Operators and Supervisors. Mr. Sifers - and C. Jeffrey Sifers, his son and law partner - made up ½ of that training class! He has maintained his certifications as a breath test Operator and Maintenance Specialist every year since. In 2006, Mr. Sifers became the FIRST defense attorney in Oklahoma to graduate from a formal training course on the NEW breath device, the Intoxilyzer 8000.Mr. Sifers is the ONLY lawyer in Oklahoma who holds a certificate of successful completion (May, 2003) for the Robert F. Borkenstein Course on "Alcohol, Drugs, and Highway Safety: Testing, Research, and Litigation" based out of Indiana University at Bloomington. This course is for STATE WITNESSES to testify against DUI offenders. It is taught by the top forensic scientists in the world (Dubowski, Jones, Forney, etc). Only a handful of defense attorneys have been allowed to complete this course. And, since Borkenstein has now been closed to private attorneys, no other lawyer in Oklahoma will EVER complete it. As a result, Mr. Sifers has been exposed to the "other side's" schemes unlike any other Oklahoma lawyer. This is a benefit to his clients that no other attorney in Oklahoma can offer!

An absolutely outstanding attorney who knows exactly what he is doing. His knowledge and defense is off the charts. Worth every penny to help correct our wrongs. I would recommend him above any lawyer on the bar. I worked for an attorney, along with some trouble of my own, so have had many encounters with various attorneys and this man is an A++. I couldn't have asked for better!
Helped me with my problems, and took care of my drivers license. Definitely the best DUI attorney in Oklahoma City!
Hired Mr Sifers. Had a Dui in Oklahoma in Custer County. I reside in Texas. After continuing the case a couple times, he advised me we missed a court date because they didn't notify him, so had to rush to Oklahoma to go in front of judge because the court was upset. Ending up pleading guilty because he didn't really seem to fight for me. Also guilty plea came with suspended sentence, so have to wait 5 years to expunge it. Didn't even fight for deferred sentence! Also had to have breathylzer for a 18 months but found out after 6 months that law had changed(google search) and that I could have had that removed about a month after it was installed, but a good attorney should let you know that. My case: NO BLOOD DRAW, only sobriety test and video of myself in police car. I was never shown the video, and he never seemed to fight or say the police did anything wrong with their procedures.( Hard to believe) Also found out later that his son had been charged in the same court, and had received probation. So looks like I took the fall for the previous probation case.
