Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPAs) can help avoid prison and even a keep a person's record felony-free. And, the Biden DOJ has encouraged it's regional US Attorney offices to devise their own policies for DPAs and to be more liberal with their application.
But, local federal prosecutors seem to be ignoring their boss's mandate. They're reluctant to make new policies, let alone to actually offer diversion.
Therefore, we need to be more aggressive about adovocating for DPAs and unearthing local policies.
To that end, we welcome back attorney and author Jon May, who has been at the forefront of this fight.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- Becoming aware of federal diversion;
- Advocating for diversion policies nationwide;
- Suggestions on how to position your case for diversion.
