The West Virginia Request for Deferral of DUI Conviction is a legal filing that allows a DUI offender to receive a deferred sentence, which could be a probationary period or community service. If the offender completes the terms of the deferral, the DUI conviction is dismissed. There are two types of West Virginia Request for Deferral of DUI Conviction: First Offender Deferral and Multiple Offender Deferral. The First Offender Deferral is for first-time DUI offenders and includes a probationary period of up to one year and a community service requirement of up to 150 hours. The Multiple Offender Deferral is for repeat DUI offenders and includes a probationary period of up to two years and a community service requirement of up to 300 hours. Both types of Deferral require the offender to pay any court-ordered fines and meet other conditions of the deferral, such as attending alcohol or drug treatment programs or submitting to random drug tests.
