Legal Question in DUI Law in Washington

Re: Deferred Dui Charge

The above information isn't sufficient enough to provide an answer. Sentencing would occur if the person either failed to comply with treatment, committed a criminal act during the period of probation, or otherwise violated the terms of the DP agreement. Typically, in any such case, a defendant is first provided a hearing to determine whether the alleged violation is sufficient to revoke the DP. Absent having done any of the above, I could only assume the court in question typically sets a date as here in DP cases for closing them successfully "on record". It's possible someone in the clerk's office miskeyed this as "sentencing" when setting the same.

If you are unable to secure counsel prior to 07/17 and this IS a sentencing via a revocation of DP, you should be able to appear then and, if necessary, seek a continuance on grounds that you had not been provided any information as to the basis of the hearing and need counsel to protect your rights.
