    Long-Term Effect of Dismissal After Pretrial Diversion
    If one underwent a pre trial diversion for retail theft and is due in court in 3 and half months to show that all the requirements are met. Charges will be dropped and expungement on the arrest record can be done. Pre trial diversion didnt require entering a guilty plea of any kind ( be it nolo contendere, guilty or admitting to the facts in court ) I asked my lawyer and he said I didnt admit to anything. No probation, no supervision I was asked to do 5 days of community service and attend a theft class.QUESTION IS WILL THIS HAVE A MAJOR EFFECT ON APPLYING FOR A LICENSURE IN THE STATE AND JOB EMPLOYMENT??? IF ARREST RECORDS ARE EXPUNGED WILL THIS STILL BE A PROBLEM???this happened in illinois, and you can only expunged records that does not have convictions.... I have been very worried about this.Please advise...im also a legal resident and has plans of naturalizing eventually. Thankyou so much for the reply in advance :)

    You weren't convicted of anything, and didn't admit to any damaging facts because no plea was required. I would expect any impact of this incident to be minimal.

    how about the police record? will they also look into that? I plan to do expungement of the arrest record right after the dismissal of the case. thanks

    According to the Illinois Appellate Defender's Office,
    Quote:

    Quoting Expungement
    There is no definition of “expungement” in the Illinois Compiled Statutes. However, a working definition is that when a record gets “expunged,” it is as if the crime never occurred. Each law enforcement agency expunges, or destroys, their records.
