A case that is nolled is automatically dismissed 13 months after the nolle was entered. Once a case has been dismissed you are allowed under CT statutes to say you have never been arrested before. These cases are "non-disclosable" because admitting that there was a case in the first place... View More

You should absolutely hire an experienced criminal attorney. These are serious criminal charges. And, you're correct, that your son's future will be detrimentally affected if he suffers a criminal record. Take care, Sal Bonanno.
