A program is now available for first time DUI offenders. Contact me for more information. Below is a brief summary of the DUI Rehabilitation of Offenders Program (D.R.O.P.)
D.R.O.P.

A Diversion program for rapid resolution of first-time DUI and BUI offenses

The State Attorney has instituted this supervised, comprehensive program for first time, misdemeanor DUI and BUI offenders. This is a voluntary program that requires the first-time offender to complete the statutory DUI or BUI sanctions, including any recommended substance abuse treatment and frequent, random testing for substance abuse. Any recommended sanction and disposition are subject to approval of the Court.

The need for higher property damage coverage is more important than ever. While electing for more coverage may result in higher premiums, the benefits can far outweigh the potential costs of being underinsured.
