Drug Court
Drug Court is a rigorous, one-year pre-trial intervention program that combines the legal process with addiction rehabilitation. It provides a unique opportunity to avoid a conviction, provided you meet all the program's requirements.
To qualify, you must be 18 or older, without prior felony convictions, and facing a substance abuse-related charge.
Before entering the program, you must sign a deferred prosecution agreement. This agreement means if you fail to comply with Drug Court requirements, you waive your right to a speedy trial and allow treatment providers to communicate with the judge.
For first-time offenders, Drug Court is an alternative to traditional jail time, offering a chance for recovery while avoiding a permanent criminal record.
Having experienced legal support is crucial for success in Drug Court. From the initial steps to ongoing compliance, we will guide you through every phase of the program and represent your best interests if there are any allegations of non-compliance.
