What is the name of your state? Texas
I had an earlier thread which spoke of a friend of mine (single and no kiddos) who was caught shoplifting a couple of months ago. She has a court date set in Tarrant County for the 29th of this month. She has an attorney but I'm worried that he's not very interested in her case. Every time I ask her a question that I think she should know the answer to from her attorney - she doesn't have a clue. I know this is HER problem and she needs to DEMAND some answers since she is paying him to do so.
What I'm wondering is, what is the procedure for trying to get a pre-trial diversion? Does her attorney ask the prosecutor for this? Or is this something that can be arranged at her first court appearance? She would be a perfect candidate for this because she would add to their success rate. Thanks for your help in advance. She doesn't have a computer so she can't sit around looking up help and/or advice. Thanks!
