You say that your wife spoke to a National Bank in New York. Then you say that the fraud was perpetrated by someone in Louisiana. I think that you need an attorney to handle this in New York. I don't know the amount of the fraud, but if it is over $25,000 then the case would be brought in the... View More
I was convicted of cdv first offense in 2012. In 2022 I was arrested but not convicted of a felony. I went trough pti and had it expunged. In between that time I had a traffic court charge removed. Can I have multiple charges expunged off of my record?
answered on Jun 20, 2023
Multiple charges can be expunged depending on the charge(s). A person is allowed to apply for an expungement of their record more than once.
"Have you ever been convicted, pled guilty or pled nolo contendere to a felony of any kind or to a non-felony crime involving drugs or moral turpitude?"
I was charged with a misdemeanor for shoplifting. I completed PTI and was never convicted and never plead guilty. I then had the charge expunged.
answered on Jul 21, 2022
The answer to your question is "yes". You can state that you have never been convicted, assuming this is your only criminal court case. PTI is not a conviction, it is a diversion program that allows you to resolve your charge without going to court and entering a plea.
Best of luck

There are a lot of reasons why this could occur, but, no it definitely does not mean a case is going to trial with no plea deal.

No, it is not a crime of violence per 16-1-60. It is considered a non violent crime, and while it is classified as a misdemeanor it carries up to 3 years in prison. So any conviction, regardless of the imposes sentence could impact your federal rights to own and possess a firearm.
