Are there alternatives that can remove a case from court altogether?
A. Yes, depending on the charge, there exist some potential alternatives for individuals that have never been in trouble before. Typically, first offender and diversion programs have strict criteria and fall within the discretion of the State to offer the program. In this firm we always explore the possibility of formal and when possible, “informal” diversion alternatives for our clients.
