Sep 29, 2015 DWI and drug defense – Links to alcohol/drug programs, driver improvement classes, and FST manuals
Self-improvement / rehabilitation — what I sometimes also call homework — can sometimes help criminal defendants with case negotiations with the prosecutor, and with any case sentencing in the event of a conviction. It is ideal for a criminal defendant in Virginia and beyond to talk with his or her lawyer about the best self-improvement options to pursue, or not. Following are important links for such self-improvement (and here are purely online options):
Self-improvement options for drug, and DUI and alcohol (including public intoxication and underage drinking) cases include:
– Alcohol & Drug Programs: Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program. Maryland-licensed programs. Aquila Recovery in D.C. Nationwide locator.
