Alternatives for Young Adults & First-Time Offenders

If you are found to be in possession of even a small amount of an illegal drug, your continued schooling, job opportunities, and financial assistance may be in jeopardy. If you are a young adult or if this is your first time facing criminal charges, you may qualify for special treatment.

• The first-time offender diversion program (often referred to as the “7411 Law”) is an option for certain first-time offenders who are facing less serious drug crime charges. The judge in your case may choose to apply non-criminal penalties in certain circumstances.
• The Holmes Youthful Trainee Act (HYTA) provides a "second chance" to young people who are convicted of certain crimes. If a youthful offender is granted HYTA status, the offense will not appear as a conviction on his or her permanent record.

Michigan colleges provide limited legal services to their enrolled students. This program typically covers minor in possession (MIP) charges. If you or your child is facing more serious criminal charges, contact us to learn about your options.
