How to file for pretrial diversion in another state?
Q. I received a citation for underage drinking, but I wasn't arrested. I am a resident of Kentucky, but received the citation in Tennessee. My question is will I need find an attorney in Tennesse to file pretrial diversion or can the attorney be located here in Kentucky? I am 20 and this is my first offense. I have never even had a speeding ticket. Also when and how will I know the guidelines for completing what I have to do for probation? Will the information for probation be sent to my home after the court date?

Louisiana pretrial diversion. Will there be a drug screen after program?
Q. I was on pretrial diversion for six months for possession of paraphernalia. Today is the last day of the six months. I passed all my drug screens and all other things required. Do you think I will be drug screened again (after today) before the judge signs the paper to ex sponge my charge? If you have actually been on pretrial in LA or know someone, I would appreciate your response. Thanks

Am i eligible for pretrial diversion?
Q. I've had this pending felony charge (entering auto) against me since april 2005. i've got court in jan 2008. My lawyer who was appointed to me said that he could get it dropped to a misdemeanor and 12 mths probation. wouldnt it be better if i could get a pretrial diversion maybe then i could get it dismissed later. This is also my first offense. Im n the state of Georgia
Asked by mango - Thu Dec 27 14:12:03 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You might be able to get diversion, but I would take a misdemeanor over diversion. While diversion does eventually take the charge off of your record, you will still be stuck with a felony charge on your record for a period of time. Also, diversion periods tend to be longer periods of time before dismissal than the 12 months probation. For example, in my jurisdiction, diversion lasts anywhere from 3-5 years. That's a long time for something to go wrong and the diversion deal rescinded. Check with your lawyer, but I'll bet you can get that misdemeanor conviction expunged off of your record after 5 years anyway as long as you stay out of trouble. You can in most states.

Pretrial Diversion: Must it be declared On Employment Applications?
Q. 10 years ago, I had a DUI (the only one I've ever had) -- I entered a pretrial diversion program; my plea was not-guilty, and it was dismissed. However, I find myself confused now whenever I have to fill out applications for employment. Is this still a misdemeanor on my record that I have to disclose on employment applications that ask about felony charges or misdemeanors? I've been given mixed advice. Someone please help. thank you

A. You have an arrest record but there is no conviction. There is no misdemeanor or felony on your record, either officially or morally. That is the reason for pretrial diversion. You can ethically say no to the question if it asks about convictions. Very few places ask about arrests since it is against federal guidelines.

A. Sure... if you want the judge to put you in jail for contempt, at a minimum. Why are you even asking this question? You want to show up for court sober, with no alcohol on your breath, in your nicest clothes, and with your best manners. If you can't handle that for one day, maybe you should take a long look in the mirror, and think a bit about what you're doing to yourself and your life.

Pretrial Diversion in two separate states. Probation violation for the previous state?

A. Technically, you won't fail your diversion until a verdict is handed down in Kentucky. The only chance you stand would be to beat the arrest/charge ( which I don't consider as likely). Best and only advice is to consult with a GOOD attorney to see where you stand. Best of luck and I hope this is useful to you

How to get a pretrial diversion without appearing at courthouse?
Q. Last November, I was pulled over in PG Co, MD with a case of beer in my backseat and received an alcohol citation (minor in possession, but not consumption). I later received my court date for May 13th. I would like to apply for a pretrial diversion program. The problem is that I am studying abroad until May 10th. I was told that, to apply, I have to go in to the courthouse and speak to someone. Is 3 days enough time to do this? If not, is there any way that I can still apply? I can't afford (in more ways than one) this citation.

A. This is something to discuss with your attorney, however if the county itself does not offer pretrial diversion, you cannot ask for a change of venue based on wanting to erase your record when your probation is completed. A change of venue is only allowed when a person cannot get a fair trial based on adverse publicity or too high a profile for the county he is going to court for. Your next best option would be an expungement a year after completing your probation. Again, discuss this with your attorney before the trial and he can set it up for you.
