FAQs
Pretrial diversion is a legal alternative that allows eligible defendants to avoid a traditional criminal prosecution. Instead of moving straight to plea deals or jail time, participants enter a structured program — often involving therapy, drug or alcohol treatment, behavioral classes, and ongoing monitoring. Upon successful completion, charges are often reduced or dismissed entirely.
Eligibility depends on the type of diversion (e.g., formal, informal, judicial, mental health) and the charges involved. Generally, non-violent offenses, first-time charges, or cases involving mental health or substance abuse issues are good candidates. A judge ultimately decides if diversion is appropriate, and your legal team — supported by services like ETS — can help build your eligibility case.
Yes, if you complete the diversion program successfully, the original charge may be dismissed or reduced — meaning no conviction appears on your permanent criminal record. This is especially critical for protecting employment, housing, licensing, and immigration opportunities.
Formal Diversion typically requires you to plead guilty before entering a program. Charges may be dismissed after completion, but some records remain unless expunged.
Informal Diversion doesn’t require a guilty plea and often involves agreements made outside of court between prosecutors and your defense team.
Judicial Diversion (PC 1001.95) is when the judge initiates and oversees the diversion program directly, typically for misdemeanors.
Each has different rules, timelines, and eligibility requirements.
Sometimes. Certain diversion programs are available only to first-time offenders, while others — like judicial or mental health diversion — may allow prior convictions, depending on the nature of your charges and history. Having a strong treatment plan and support team can significantly improve your chances.
