What is a drug diversion program in South Florida? Fort Lauderdale criminal Drug Defense Attorney explains

When someone is facing a drug crime allegation in South Florida, there are a few different ways the case could be resolved – including with a diversion program for Florida drug offenses. 

 

Many jurisdictions in Florida allow for drug- specific programs that are meant for people facing criminal drug charges in Florida. These drug-specific programs include both Florida drug-treatment court and drug diversion programs.  

 

What is a Florida drug diversion program & who qualifies

 As long as Florida State prosecutors and judges don’t believe that you are dealing drugs, you may qualify to go through a pre-trial diversion program.

 

Pre-trial diversion programs for Florida drug crimes give the defendant the opportunity to get treatment for any drug and/or alcohol abuse issues they may have. If the defendant is allowed into the program, and successfully completes the program – they can earn a dismissal of their criminal drug charges. 

 

Drug Diversion Programs include many things, but the ways that they make sure the defendant is successfully completing the program include: reporting to the program as required, providing random urine samples to show that you’re staying clean of drugs and/or alcohol, doing various community service hours, and getting counseling and/ or mental health treatment.

 

In essence, a diversion program is a program that offers another path rather than the typical expected sentencing protocol for a crime. “Diversion” means to turn something from its course — and Florida drug diversion programs work to turn criminal charges from their course by offering defendants another option to address their criminal allegations.

 

If someone who qualifies for a drug diversion program in Florida, and sticks with it – not only do they have the chance for their charges to be dismissed, there is also the chance that they can have their criminal record expunged

I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
