Alternatives to Conviction and Jail

In Washington, several alternative sentencing programs exist which enable an offender to avoid jail. For example, a deferred sentence for a misdemeanor may delay conviction, after which time the charge is dismissed if the offender does not get into further trouble with the law. Another program enables an offender to obtain treatment for chemical dependence, provided that certain conditions are met. Please note, however, that not everyone may qualify for these programs and that dismissal of charges/deferred sentencing are at the discretion of both the court and the prosecutor assigned to the case.

Our attorneys understand the rules of these various programs and what both the court and the prosecutors expect from the offender in return. If you are an appropriate candidate for these types of programs, we can negotiate with the prosecutor to try and obtain these outcomes.

Whether it involves a simple drug possession charge or something more serious, Maples Lane, PLLC in Renton, or Sumner, Washington, will seek to obtain the best outcome possible, while simultaneously protecting your rights and your freedom.
