When You Need a Professional DUII Diversion Attorney?

The Oregon DUII Diversion program allows eligible individuals to avoid a DUII conviction and other serious sentencing penalties, if they are able to successfully complete the diversion program requirements. A successful completion of diversion results in the dismissal of the DUII charge at the end of one year. For more information about the Oregon DUII diversion program, call Paul Sherman today at (503) 223-8441 for a FREE initial consultation.  

Let Us Help You Resolve Your DUI

Today, a person seeking to enter diversion on a DUII must first plead guilty or no-contest to the DUII charge. Few people will want to plead guilty to an Oregon DUII (a Class A Misdemeanor crime) without the assistance of an experienced DUII attorney. This is especially true when a criminal conviction and court sentence are now automatic if diversion is terminated for any reason. This results in mandatory jail time. There is no trial and no get out jail free card.

Paul F. Sherman, provides affordable legal assistance to persons seeking to enter the DUI diversion program in Oregon. Mr. Sherman can provide experienced advise about:

• Your tickets; the court process, license suspension appeals, and hardship permits;
• Representing you in an appeal of your implied consent license suspension (the suspension you face for failing or refusing a breath or blood test);
• Appearing with you at ALL court appearances (in some counties a retained attorney can waive your first appearance altogether);
• Completing the diversion petition; affidavit of eligibility, and your petition to enter a plea of guilty or no contest;
• Entering your plea;
• Defending you against additional charges (reckless driving, criminal mischief, hit and run, failure to perform the duties of an operator, failure to blow, eluding a police officer) you may face, if any; and
• Provide you with valuable advice on successfully completing the diversion requirements so you can avoid the mistake which result in failing diversion and ending up with a DUI conviction.
