What is diversion??
Penalty wise it serves same as guilty but once you complete program there is no conviction on your record
When should I see if I qualify for diversion?? I have not yet received anything in the mail but I should be within the next week or two. And what kind of "program" is this?? It won't involve jail time, will it?
No it should not include jail. talk to a Criminal defense Attorney about qualifications
Should I do this after I receive my fine in the mail or before?
Either but do not pay for Attorney advice unless you have recieved a court date
I can't pay for attorney advice. The fines from Macy's are already enough as it is. There is no way I could afford a criminal defense lawyer.
Many will grant you a free office visit which is what I was suggesting
Oh ok. I thought diversion programs were only for the mentally ill??
most of the programs i looked up online are for juveniles. i'm 19...
