“this is only available in certain circumstances in certain cases so you need to consult with an experienced domestic violence attorney in order to see if you're eligible for this but in a deferred sentence situation you would be charged with a domestic violence crime and then you would take a plea of guilty go through basically a rehabilitation process where you're essentially on probation doing domestic violence classes and doing your time for about two years but no conviction actually enters”
“okay let's look at the two most common types of cases that have therapy involved so duis and domestic violence cases dui cases you're going to have to go if you are convicted or take a plea for anything that is an alcohol related offense if it's the dui if it's a dwai even if it's what we call a wet reckless if you have any of those please you have to do alcohol treatment and therapy on the other hand if you have a domestic violence charge and you have a plea of some kind or you have a deferred sentence you're going to have to do domestic violence classes now in both of these cases the way that they're set up especially in el paso county is before you're sentenced so you take a plea agreement in front of the judge you enter your plea of guilty but then before your sentence on a dui you have to go through an evaluation”
