DUI Deferred Prosecution |
|
A deferred prosecution may be your best chance to stay out
of jail and avoid a license suspension. A deferred prosecution
requires enrollment in a counseling and treatment program
for alcohol addiction for a period of two years. This program
offers the following benefits to those who qualify:
- no jail time will be imposed
- no DUI conviction will be recorded on your
driving record
- no requirement to file high-risk insurance
In most cases, a petitioner for a deferred prosecution must
satisfy the following requirements:
- he or she is an alcoholic
- he or she requires treatment
- repeat DUIs are likely unless treatment is given
- he or she has never been granted a deferred prosecution
before
If you meet the requirements of this program, we will work
to find the right treatment agency for you and to help assure
your success in the program. Treatment is not right for everyone,
but for those who are committed to participating in treatment
and pursuing a deferred prosecution, it is possible
to avoid both going to jail and having a license suspension.
As an additional service to our clients, our fees
include complete representation during the full five years
of the deferred prosecution, up to the time that the court
dismisses the charges and closes the file.
