If you've been charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII), you are probably most concerned about avoiding having a conviction on your record and all of the legal penalties that go with it. At Ridehalgh & Associates, LLC, Attorneys at Law, our lawyers have successfully represented numerous clients facing DUII charges. Whether you were charged with driving while under the influence of drugs or of having a blood alcohol content (BAC) over Oregon's limit of .08, we will seek out opportunities to prevent a conviction.
Diversion Programs
Diversion programs are extremely useful for clients who are primarily interested in getting out of jail and clearing their record after a first offense. Taking advantage of existing diversion programs is often the most efficient way to achieve these goals. However, our firm has experience successfully negotiating for the creation of a personalized diversion program in situations where a standard option is not available.
Washington County, Oregon, has a diversion program in place for all first-time DUII offenders. In other counties, an individualized program can be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. A diversion program will dismiss a DUII charge after completing a clearly defined set of tasks. Usually this involves activities such as attending alcohol and drug abuse classes.
Suspended Driver's License
We will represent your best interests during DMV driver's license suspension hearings. If your license has already been suspended, we will seek out ways to improve your situation. We will also examine the details of your case and provide honest and clear legal advice about the options available to you.
