This is my first DUI EVER, never even had a ticket, and I am 56. Counselor told me that I will be going to class for only the 9 weeks under the diversion program, even though I will still need to put insurance back on my car, get D.L. reinstated, and breathing devise in car for a year, and not to get in any trouble as the diversion does last a year from your court date. Also was told that I have not been convicted. Also one of the lawyers was correct. the [olice did not pull me over for anything else, nor did they ask or say reckless driving. Simply asked me to step out of the car, and then asked have you been drinking. I was not swirving, it was late at night and I went to jack in the box, had the food with me. A neighbor had turned me in after she had seen me go to the store earlier.

You can move to any county in Oregon at any time during diversion. You simply need to keep court notified of your address. You can even do it before treatment is over if you like.

To add to what Mr. Siefman said, if you move after starting but before finishing treatment, you'll have to either commute to the treatment you're already in or seek permission to start treatment all over again in your new home county. Ask your lawyer her advice, and rely on it. On the Internet, we just cannot know as much about you or your case as the lawyer you mention already having.
