Diversion Program Granted

Diversion Program Granted

Marisa represented a client who was pulled over by the police, and a firearm was found during the traffic stop. She did not have her Concealed Pistol License (CPL). Because she reached out to C&N so quickly after being pulled over, Marisa began proactively working on the case. She advised her client to sign up for the CPL class and apply for a license. Due to all this work done on the front end, Marisa was able to get the prosecutor to agree to put her client in the county’s diversion program. Once the client completed all the diversion requirements—most having already been completed at the suggestion of Marisa—she was never charged with carrying a concealed weapon, which is a five-year felony. She now can apply for graduate school without any criminal record as she planned to do before her interaction with the police.
