Many states, Florida included, now recognize that, even when a crime is committed, the guilty party may not benefit from incarceration. This is why our state has established the Misdemeanor Pretrial Diversion Program, which allows some accused individuals to forgo a criminal conviction and instead enroll in other requirements that better address why the crime occurred in the first place. These programs are particularly impactful for accused citizens struggling with alcohol or substance abuse.
If you have been charged with a misdemeanor and are interested in your eligibility for the Misdemeanor Pretrial Diversion Program, then it is important that you speak to proven counsel today. At Taracks & Associates, our team is staffed by a former prosecutor who knows what the court is looking for when considering these programs and can ensure that your eligibility is compellingly put forth to the judge.

If they complete the program and comply with the court, they will not have to serve any jail time.
