The Duvall Law office is experienced in all aspects of defending those, not only in the Eugene / Springfield area, but throughout the state of Oregon, charged with the crime of felony and misdemeanor driving under the influence of intoxicants (aka DUII, DUI, DWI or drunk driving). This includes evaluation for DUII Diversion eligibility. The DUII Diversion Petition procedure is generally set forth in ORS 813.210, shown here:
“(1) After an accusatory instrument has been filed charging the defendant with the offense of driving while under the influence of intoxicants, a defendant may file with the court a petition for a driving while under the influence of intoxicants diversion agreement described in ORS 813.200 (Notice of availability of diversion). The petition:
(a) Must be filed within 30 days after the date of the defendants first appearance on the summons, unless a later filing date is allowed by the court upon a showing of good cause. For purposes of this paragraph, the filing of a demurrer, a motion to suppress or a motion for an omnibus hearing does not constitute good cause.
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection, may not be filed after entry of a guilty plea or a no contest plea or after commencement of any trial on the charge whether or not a new trial or retrial is ordered for any reason.
(2) The defendant shall pay to the court, at the time of filing a petition for a driving while under the influence of intoxicants diversion agreement, a filing fee established under ORS 813.240 (Amount and distribution of filing fee). The court may make provision for payment of the filing fee by the defendant on an installment basis. The court may waive all or part of the filing fee in cases involving indigent defendants. The filing fee paid to the court under this subsection shall be retained by the court if the petition is allowed. The filing fee shall be distributed as provided by ORS 813.240 (Amount and distribution of filing fee).
(3) The defendant shall pay to the agency or organization providing the diagnostic assessment, at the time the petition is allowed, the fee required by ORS 813.240 (Amount and distribution of filing fee) (3).
(4)(a) Unless otherwise provided under paragraph (b) of this subsection, the defendant shall pay to the court any court-appointed attorney fees agreed to under ORS 813.200 (Notice of availability of diversion) (4)(i). Payments shall be made prior to the end of the diversion period on a schedule determined by the court.
(b) The court may waive all or part of the court-appointed attorney fees agreed to under ORS 813.200 (Notice of availability of diversion) (4)(i).
(5) The defendant shall begin paying to the court any restitution ordered under ORS 137.108 (Restitution when defendant has entered into diversion agreement). Payments shall be made during the diversion period on a schedule determined by the court.
(6) The defendant shall cause a copy of the petition for a driving while under the influence of intoxicants diversion agreement to be served upon the district attorney or city attorney. The district attorney or city attorney may file with the court, within 15 days after the date of service, a written objection to the petition and a request for a hearing.”
