    My IDIP Date Got Moved by the Court – Can I Go to Court Earlier?

    Here’s the Importance of Getting your AR / IDIP Case Dismissed Earlier

    Prolonged AR and IDIP cases can lead to continued criminal liability. If you’re arrested while in a court diversionary program, the court has the option to boot you from the program and prosecute you on your DUI or other criminal case. That means you run the risk of not having your charges dismissed—even if you’ve already completed your IDIP classes.
