Program focus
DETER aims to reduce impaired driving through targeted education and supervised compliance. Successful completion may allow participants to resolve a DUI case without a conviction.
Eligibility & timing
Eligibility is limited and fact-specific. Applying early helps preserve the option; delays can close the door. Contact the firm quickly to evaluate whether DETER is available in your case.
