How do I know if I am eligible for a diversion?
When charged with a crime, you will need to make your first appearance before the court. At first appearance, the court will advise you as to the charges pending against you, determine whether or not you have an attorney or wish to have an attorney, then inquire if you wish to discuss a possible diversion with the prosecution.
