Pre-Trial Intervention (“PTI”) is a viable legal option for many first time drug offenders, including those facing heroin and prescription drug related charges. It is a diversionary program available to individuals who meet various criteria. In order to be a “First Time Offender” the individual seeking admittance into the program must have no prior convictions on a previous indictable offense and not have used a conditional discharge in a previous disorderly persons matter. The PTI program allows offenders to avoid prosecution if they are eligible for PTI and satisfy the requirements set forth in the program. If you have been charged with heroin possession, distribution, prescription fraud, or burglary in Middlesex, Monmouth, Union, Hudson, Bergen, Essex, or Ocean County, New Jersey, then it is vital that you contact an aggressive and experienced criminal defense attorney to determine if PTI is an option for you. At the Law Offices of William Proetta, our lawyers aggressively argue for admittance into PTI for qualifying clients, and file appeals for those who are denied for various reasons. We assist clients throughout NJ including Lodi, Plainfield, West Orange, Cranbury, Jersey City, Elizabeth, Toms River, and Freehold.
