California Penal Code 1001.95 and Judicial Diversion Motion

California Penal Code 1001.95 allows a judge to place a defendant on diversion which ultimately could lead to a dismissal of all of the defendant's charges. As of January 2021, the judge now has more discretion to implement a program so a defendant might earn a dismissal of his misdemeanor case or charges. In cases across Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, and San Bernardino, the Law Offices of Pereira & Moffatt have used their criminal defense experience to successfully place their clients into the diversion program and have their cases dismissed.

This is accomplished by means of a “suppression motion”.
