    Default How Do I Get Early Dismissal from Pretrial Intervention

    My question involves criminal law for the state of Florida.

    I was sentenced to 3 years of pretrial intervention. My attourney told me that I could possibly get early dismissal 1/2 way through the program. I really don't want to pay my attourney an additional $2000 to get out of the program early. I've competed everything that was required of me. I stop by the PTI office once a month for 5 minutes to see my officer. The half way mark is in November 2010. Is there anything I can do on my own to get out of the program early? My PTI officer said he would give me a recommendation for early dismissal. However, his only advice for me was to try a public defense attourney, but he's not sure how that works since I originally hired a private attourney (who saved me by getting me PTI). Are there any forms I can fill out? Who can I talk to to get early dismissal?

    Thanks!

    You can talk to your attorney, or you can try to figure out how to bring a motion yourself without a lawyer. If you choose the latter approach, check the county law library and area law school libraries for practitioner's guides to Florida criminal law, as they may include summaries of the law and perhaps also sample forms for this type of motion.
