A Mission Viejo Criminal Law Attorney Finding Alternatives to Jail
While the consequences of a criminal conviction can be severe, a sentence does not always involve jail time. Multiple DUI and drug crimes may stem from an addiction that can be addressed through rehabilitation programs. Electronic confinement, community service or a Sheriff's work program are viable options to serve out your sentence.
Simply put, it is possible to avoid jail.
