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
