For clients who have been convicted of a non-violent drug possession charge and have received probation and successfully completed drug treatment, we generally recommend that the client file and serve a petition for a dismissal under Penal Code section 1210.1(d). If the court finds that the client has successfully completed treatment, the court should dismiss the case. We advise clients of the relief to be gained when the petition is granted and the applicable exceptions.
