Miami Criminal Defense Attorney - first blog post

2/9/2016

 
Question: Is it better to have the state nolle pros (i.e., dismiss) your criminal case or enter into a diversion program?

My response: A straight up nolle pros or no action is always the best that can happen to a defendant. It's a better resolution compared to PRETRIAL INTERVENTION ("PTI") or PRETRIAL DIVERSION ("PTD") for a few reasons:

1.) you don't have to pay any money ($) if your case is nolle prosed or no actioned - usually programs like pre-trial diversion and/or pre-trial intervention require that you register to take some classes and pay for them. Classes involve your time and your money.

2.) community service hours - Usually, PTI and/or PTD will require that the defendant complete some community hours. Again this requires more time out of your daily life and schedule.

That being said, the aforementioned programs: "PTI" and "PTD" are far better alternatives than getting either a withhold of adjudication or a conviction. These programs, if you complete them successfully, lead to a nolle pros by the state attorney's office.

If you have any questions or know someone that needs help with this type of situation feel free to contact us for a free consultation.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"I was unjustly charged with a Felony for taking back one of my employees mobile phones after she was dismissed from her post. She called police. They arrested me, charged me with Strong Arm Robbery and I spent the next two days in jail. I hired Dennis when I was released. He took over and turned a Felony into a Misdemeanor, then a Dismissal! Thanks Dennis, for finding justice in this case!!"
