Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Pretrial Diversion Program on Job Application

I was arrested for misdemeanor

possession of marijuana in leon

county and entered the pretrial

diversion program. I have a job

application that asks if I have ever

had the adjudication of guilt

withheld. Do I have to answer yes?

I never entered a plea or went to a

trial as the diversion program was

offered well before the trial date.

Re: Pretrial Diversion Program on Job Application

Are you sure your case wasn't dropped? Typically, after a diversion program the case is dropped. If not, you likely received a withhold. The withhold will appear on your record, so the honest answer to the question would be yes.

However, I really believe that your case was dropped if you did diversion
