Florida DUI Pre-Trial Diversion Attorney
Under certain circumstances your case may be eligible for a pre-trial diversion program or PTD. This is an option that our law firm will explore on every first time DUI charge. In Orange County there is a program that if accepted into will give you a chance to get your DUI dismissed. Once you hire a lawyer at the Law Office of Corey Cohen we would work towards getting you into this program and ultimately getting your charges dismissed and later sealed or expunged.
The DUI diversion program in Orange County is as follows:
The defendant must have no prior alcohol related driving history.
The defendant may have no more than two prior misdemeanor convictions.
The defendant may have completed no more than one diversion program.
The defendant must not have been involved in a crash in the instant case.
The facts of the case must suggest that the defendant is a good candidate for the DUI Diversion.
This last factor is where the hiring of a lawyer is important. The state has the ultimate authority to approve or deny someone based on the facts of the case. By hiring a lawyer your chances of getting approved for Pre-trial diversion are a lot stronger.
There are also two tiers of DUI diversion based on the breath/blood test results or if there was a refusal to take the breath test. This determines how long the diversion program may last.
With tier one the breath/blood averages to less than .15 and tier two is for refusals or the average breath/blood results are .15 or greater.
