DUI
If you have been charged with a DUI, we can help you through the process. A DUI offense will affect your license and may have other collateral consequences. An experienced defense attorney is essential to making sure you get the best result possible.
Deferred Prosecution
If you are charged with a traffic infraction, misdemeanor, or gross misdemeanor, we may be able to petition the court for deferred prosecution if your conduct was the result of or caused by substance use disorders, mental illness, or domestic violence behavior problems for which you are in need of treatment. We have experience assisting clients through the process of getting into treatment and presenting favorable progress to the court.
Stipulated Order of Continuance
A stipulated order of continuance is available in some domestic violence cases. In an SOC, you agree to complete a structured domestic violence treatment program and other conditions in return for eventual dismissal of the charge. To take advantage of this option, you are required to waive your right to a speedy trial and to agree to submit the case on the basis of the police reports if the conditions are not satisfied.
Civil Compromise
In cases where a person's property was damaged due to your actions, we may be able to help you get your case dismissed through civil compromise. In a civil compromise, you agree to pay for any damages or losses. In exchange, your charges are dismissed.
