After consultation with a lawyer, your application to the pre-trial intervention program must be made within 28 days after you are indicted and requires payment of a $75 fee, which can be waived in cases of poverty.  The application is filed in the criminal division office located in the county where the charges against you have been filed. The process for gaining admission will generally begin with an interview with a Superior Court employee, which will eventually result in a recommendation to admit or deny your application.  We will present evidence arguing in favor of your admission, and the prosecution has the option of agreeing or challenging your admission. If you are accepted, a pre-trial intervention order will be issued and will contain all conditions that you must satisfy to successfully complete the program. If the application is denied, we can appeal in some circumstances or proceed with your case via the traditional criminal justice process.
