Q: If the disposition on my records search shows “conversion”, do I still have a felony on my record?
I was charged with Burglary, Trafficking Marijuana and Felony possession. I thought I was under the first offender act which erased the felonies but on doing a public records search, I found all of them. 2 listed “conversion” and time served and the other lists non-neg guilty plea. Am I still considered a convicted felon?!?
A:
If you successfully completed first offender probation, you should not be a convicted felon. However, the paperwork is sometimes not completed correctly. You might want to get a lawyer to make sure your first offender discharge paperwork was properly filed.
