What Is a Deferred Prosecution Agreement

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwOhUWuzSag

You've just been arrested, you've just been ticketed, you have talked to investigators who are investigating you for an offense. • What can you do at that moment, right here before anything is filed, that could impact your case? Well, you could try to get a deferred prosecution agreement, or a DPA. • A deferred prosecution agreement is an agreement between the accused and the state, the DA's office, to not file a criminal case for certain agreements. • Basically, it's a contract between you and the DA's office where you agree to the rules of supervision, you agree to pay, usually a decent amount of money, it's probably going to be about the same amount of money you would have paid had they filed the case, but you never have to worry about a case being dismissed or expunged, it just isn't there. A DPA agreement's there, after the agreement is finished, it goes away. • Need An Attorney?
