The Gwinnett Solicitor-General’s Office offers a Pre-trial Diversion program, also known as PTD, to eligible individuals with little to no prior criminal history. The program provides opportunities for defendants to give back to the community and receive counseling to address criminal behavior. The program is designed to prevent further involvement in the criminal justice system.

If you decide to participate in PTD and you successfully complete the terms of your PTD agreement, your charges will be dismissed, and your record restricted. You may be asked to complete community service at a non-profit organization, attend a class appropriate to underlying issues of your charge, complete a substance abuse evaluation, pay restitution, etc.

To take advantage of this opportunity, please speak with the prosecutor assigned to your case when you appear for arraignment.
