Diversion Granted

My client was cited for a misdemeanor state parks violation. At the first court appearance, I brought to the judge’s attention my client’s youth, lack of prior record, education, and employment status. After considering this information, the judge granted diversion for the limited period of one month, allowing my client to earn a dismissal of the misdemeanor.
