Re: Trespassing arrest. Misdemeanor

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If this is your first arrest, it will probably result in a referral to an alternative program known as Pretrial Diversion or PTD. If you successfully complete the program, then the charges are dropped and the case is closed. If you have been arrested previously, then it can be far more serious depending on the violations and whether or not you were convicted of the charges.
