What to Do After Your First DUI Offense
If this is your first DUI offense, there are options available that can help you avoid conviction. One of the most common alternatives is DUI diversion. It takes an experienced lawyer's help to determine if diversion is right for you, and they can walk you through the process if it is.
At Arnold Law Office, we look at all aspects of a case to determine if evidence used against you was properly obtained or if law enforcement acted against the rules or your constitutional rights. If the evidence was obtained illegally, we may be able to get your case thrown out completely.
Understanding DUI Diversion
Diversion requires a time and money commitment. You must pay the diversion fees, the attorney fees and take alcohol classes. In addition, you also have to attend a victim impact panel, in which you listen to the stories of DUI accident survivors.
The most important aspect of a diversion program is staying clean and adhering to the diversion agreement. If you follow the diversion agreement, your case will be dismissed and your record remains clean of a crime conviction. The diversion, however, remains on your record.
