FloridaDUIPRO.com answered: No. However, if this is your first offense, you will be eligible for
the MDP (misdemeanor diversion program) through the state attorney's
office. I suggest going to your arraignment and asking the state
attorney how to apply for the program. In broward, there are two
programs. One is the drug court program, a six month program requiring
counseling, drug testing, etc. Upon completion, the state will drop all
charges. The other program is MDP. You pay $300.00 to the Department of
probation, $150.00 to the state attorney's office, be subjected to
random testing, and do 25 hours of community service. the state will
drop the charges after 3 months. with either program, you will be able
to have your record completely expunged after successful completion.
