DUI Diversion Program

In Oregon, some defendants qualify for a DUI diversion program that focuses more on recovery than on criminal punishment. In order to be eligible for a diversion program, you must meet a number of requirements, including:

• You must plead guilty or no contest to the charge
• Your DUI incident cannot have caused an injury
• You have not been convicted of a DUII or have participated in a diversion or similar type program in the last 15 years
• You must not have a commercial driver's license (CDL)

Is A Diversion Program Right For You?

You should consult with a knowledgeable defense lawyer before agreeing to enter into a diversion program. If you participate in the diversion program, the arrest will stay on your record. If the evidence against you is weak, fighting the charges may help you obtain a better result than the diversion program would offer. In some cases, challenging DUI evidence can get the case thrown out altogether.

As an experienced DUI defense lawyer, I can help you explore all of the legal options available to you. I will craft a legal strategy suited to the unique circumstances of your case.
