Exploring Options to Dismiss DUI Charges in Orlando

This morning in Palm Beach County, Florida, Tiger Woods' DUI Lawyer appeared at arraignment and advised the Court that Tiger would enter into a DUI Diversion Program. The Program will require Tiger to be placed on one-year of supervision, pay a $250 fine plus court costs, complete 50-hours of community service, attend a DUI class, and attend and participate in a workshop. Under the terms of the agreement, if Tiger Woods is able to successfully complete the program, the State Attorney's Office will dismiss his DUI charge. Tiger Woods DUI Diversion
