Washington Waiver of Right To Later (Diversion) is a program that allows certain criminal defendants to waive their right to counsel and enter into a diversion agreement with the prosecutor. This program is offered to defendants charged with certain misdemeanors or gross misdemeanors who have no prior criminal history. If accepted into the program, the defendant agrees to plead guilty to the charge and waive the right to a trial and to have legal counsel present. The defendant will then complete the terms of the diversion agreement, which typically include attending counseling, completing community service, or paying restitution. Upon successful completion of the terms, the charges will be dismissed. There are three types of Washington Waiver of Right To Later (Diversion): Standard Diversion, Enhanced Diversion, and Pre-trial Diversion. Standard Diversion is available to those with no prior criminal history who have been charged with certain misdemeanors or gross misdemeanors. Enhanced Diversion is available to those with prior criminal history charged with certain misdemeanors or gross misdemeanors. Pre-trial Diversion is available to those charged with certain felonies who have no prior criminal history.
