#1) would i still be a convicted felon after everything is completed
#2) do i have to wait 5 years to clear my record
#3) and what does a it mean when a criminal case is vacated
A:
1. If you successfully complete your TASC Probation, you will not be convicted in the case you received TASC Probation.
2. You can file a Petition to Expunge 5 years after you successfully complete your TASC Probation. You may be required to take, and pass, a drug test. But you must otherwise be eligible to expunge, otherwise you may have to file a Petition to Seal, or do neither if you pick up another case during the 5 years.
3. The criminal case is not vacated. Your guilty plea is vacated if you appear at your termination hearing and the Court finds that you successfully completed your TASC Probation.
