Legal Question in DUI Law in Washington

If you were not court ordered in to the treatment, then normally the court will not have any input on whether you follow through. We generally advise clients to seek treatment, but not release treatment information to the courts until after the case is resolved, just for this reason.

Technically, if you have not been sentenced, the court does not have authority to order you to do treatment. But if you have released treatment information to the court, do not terminate treatment without talking to your lawyer first. Could have negative repercussions.
