Diversions
General Diversion Information
If you have recently been charged or ticketed, you may be eligible for a diversion. A diversion is an agreement between you and my office; that if you complete certain tasks and have no further convictions during the diversion term, the case will be dismissed. If you do not complete the tasks, or get convicted of a crime during the diversion term, then your diversion may be revoked and the case will proceed based on admissions contained in the diversion agreement. If you would like consideration into the Diversion Program, the first step is to apply.
Give us a call if you want to inquire about the program.

3) If you are not accepted, you will receive a letter. You must then come to court.
