Re: pti

P.T.I. stands for pretrial intervention. It is a program which comes between the first offender criminal defendant and allows him to have his charge dismissed after a period of supervision by a probation officer.

Call me if you like.

Re: pti

If you have an attorney, you should really address this issue with him or her. PTI may not make sense for you or you may not qualify. Call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss.

Re: pti

Under New Jersey Criminal Statute and Court Rules, someone charged with an indictable criminal offense who has no prior indictable offenses can apply for Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI).

This Statute permits someone under limited instances to have the prosecution stopped and enter into a probation type program. If someone successfully completes PTI, the indictable criminal charge is dismissed.

PTI is not available if the criminal offense is a disorderly person offense, such as simple assault, harassment or shoplifting. For persons facing a first offense possession of marijuana charge, they can apply for a Conditional Discharge. NJSA 2C: 36-1. As a practical matter, in Municipal Courts, the defense attorneys sometimes can work out an agreement with the complainant in a municipal court criminal ticket to have the prosecution put on hold for six months. If the defendant complies with a stipulated agreement, such as staying away from the complainant, after 6 months the criminal charges are dismissed.

It is imperative for someone facing criminal charges, whether indictable or not, to immediately hire an experienced criminal attorney.
