Pretrial Diversion

Denton, Texas, Lawyers Focused on Pretrial Solutions

Before you have been indicted, before your case is even filed with the district attorney’s office, you may have options to minimize or avoid the consequences of a criminal charge. An experienced criminal defense attorney at Boswell & Moore can help you begin fighting against your criminal charges before they are even filed. Contact us today.

As experienced defense attorneys, we can take specific actions to help you achieve the best possible results. From our Denton, Texas, law offices, we educate clients about the possibility of pretrial diversion programs that may prevent the filing of charges, and will submit your name to the prosecutor for consideration. In other cases, we can contact the police department or prosecutor’s office directly, making strong legal arguments to prevent filing of the case. We may also help get potential charges reduced or plea-bargained, including having felony charges reduced to misdemeanors.

When Pretrial Options & Diversion Programs May Help

Pretrial dispositions are one way to possibly get matters dismissed before formal charges are ever filed. When the police made a stop without reasonable suspicion, made an arrest without probable cause or conducted an illegal or warrantless search, pretrial disposition may be possible. If such errors exist, trying to get the case dismissed could offer a quicker and more cost-effective solution than waiting for your case to be filed in a court or go to trial.

In addition to just arguing for dismissal or negotiating with the prosecution to prevent the filing of charges, we also work with clients to create a grand jury packet. The packet consists of defense evidence giving reasons why you should not be indicted for the crime in question. We can present this information to the grand jury and possibly prevent the case from going any further.
