Change a Guilty Plea

[spayce]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

how can I change a guilty plea and motion for a diversion program. do I have to wait for the trial or can I do this earlier?

What trial? You said you already entered a guilty plea.

You can generally withdraw your plea at any time prior to sentencing. Speak with your attorney about this.

 

[spayce]

what if i don't have a lawyer?

Then you should probably consider consulting one.

I do not know the specific process one must take to withdraw a plea, but it is probably not something left to laymen (or women).
