First Offender Programs:

New Jersey has a program for first offenders called Pre-Trial
Intervention or PTI. In many cases a defendant who is in trouble for the
first time may be admitted to the
PTI Program. If the PTI Program is
successfully completed, the charges against the defendant will be
dismissed. The conditions of a PTI Agreement include a term of
probation, sometimes counseling, community service, and most
importantly not committing any additional offenses. To find out if you are
eligible for PTI, please call our office so we can discuss your case.

New Jersey also has a program called
Conditional Discharge for first
time drug offenders with cases in Municipal Court. First time offenders
can be put on probation, and if successfully completed, the charges are
dismissed. It is also possible to avoid a loss of driving privilege. To find
out if you are eligible for a
Conditional Discharge, please call our office
so we can discuss your case.
