A deferred prosecution is an option for anyone who gets a DUI in the state of Washington. It is basically a contract that you will enter into with the court and if you complete the terms of the contract, your case will be dismissed. In order to be eligible for a deferred prosecution you must believe you have a problem with alcohol or drugs. You will enter into a 2 year substance abuse treatment program and, if you successfully complete it and do not get any new criminal charges in the 3 years following that, your case will be dismissed. A deferred prosecution is a good option for those who have prior DUIs. However, a deferred prosecution is a once-in-a-lifetime option. If you got a DUI and would like to explore a deferred prosecution, give us a call.
