What this guide covers
The DETER Program. How the Sarasota, Manatee, and DeSoto diversion program works. DETER is the most structured program in the region: four levels including a refusal level, a defined pre-plea phase, and coverage for boating cases too. This guide explains the levels, the costs, the timeline, and how to decide whether the program or the fight is your better road.

These guides are general information about Florida law, not legal advice, and reading them does not create an attorney-client relationship. Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
