There was no probation violation, I did not meet the deadline to have my community service finished and the judge chose to apply the confiction. With that judges ruling, will the record show that I was originally given the chance to have it diverted from my record. If I hired a lawyer could I get the case reopened or if not that, could I qualify for expungment, considering I was given diversion/no conviction initially.

In my mind it was YOUR choice to not finish the community service in accordance with the court giving you a chance to do so, so the judge had every right to apply the conviction. I had 3 months to perform 500 hours of service I beleive it was - almost would have taken me a full time jpb (in addition to the fact I work now) - but I was lucky enough to find a kind hospital worker that let me volunteer and do alot of computer work from my home in exchange for the community service.
