Oregon DUII Diversion

Oregon DUI/DUII Diversion is a program that allows you to avoid any jail time and ultimately have your charge dismissed. Diversion is only available under certain circumstances and you must enter Diversion soon after appearing in court for the first time otherwise you waive your opportunity to take advantage of the program.

The Oregon DUI Diversion program requires that you enter a no contest guilty plea and then complete certain conditions including alcohol treatment, a victims panel and pay fines and court fees. If you successfully complete the program, the court will withdraw your guilty plea and dismiss the charge against you.

Oregon DUI Diversion is not always the best option if you are facing a DUI. Only an experienced Oregon DUI attorney can tell you if you should enter the Diversion program or pursue another option in your case.

by GC on Kris Carrasco Attorney at Law

Out of State Restraining Order

I was in a horrible situation where the mother of my son had me arrested on false claims so she could kidnap our son and move to Washington from California. She filed a restraining order when she got to Washington, listing our son as a protected party and claimed I had been abusive to her and him, writing a statement filled with lies and stories going back many years. She went so far as to have her family members, whom had never left Washington submit statements as well. The whole thing was disturbing and as a result I wasn't able to see my son for months. Kris didn't get dragged into arguing the meritless claims she made but instead focused on the actual law. Washington did not have jurisdiction over me and as a result a restraining order was not legal. A temp judge granted the restraining order and Kris made the judge explain on the stand multiple times how Washington had jurisdiction. She could not. He filed a motion for reconsideration shortly after outlining case law and making it clear that the temp judge had made a mistake. A commissioner reviewed and granted the motion for reconsideration. As a result, I was able to be reunited with my son, 102 days later. Kris is an amazing lawyer and I can't thank him enough for what he did for me and my son. Don't hesitate to hire him.
