Eligibility for a Diversion Program

There are a variety of diversion programs available to help defendants, including programs for:

  • First-time offenders — For first-time offenders, there are programs available that can result in the dismissal of your charges upon successful completion of non-reporting probation.
  • Drug addicts — When seeking this type of diversion program, a court-appointed doctor will assess your situation and advise the court on whether treatment would be a greater benefit than incarceration in your case. Attorney Richard Fink is committed to helping drug addicts seek treatment and will act as your advocate to get you the support you need.
  • Young offenders — There are alternatives available to young offenders, including juveniles and college students, who are charged with drug crimes. These programs can result in the dismissal of a felony charge when the program is successfully completed and help protect the young offender’s record.
