A: Are you referring to the DUI Court Program? If so, there is a comprehensive evaluation process to determine if you're eligible. If you're found eligible, the team determines if you're suitable for the program. Many different factors are considered during this process and it is crucial that you are represented by an attorney who is familiar and knowledgeable as to how to convey that you meet the criteria. It is a very helpful program and with correct guidance, can be completed successfully. Orange County handles cases differently than other counties and it's important to seek representation to move forward accordingly.
