Couple of months ago a friend and I got caught in department store. She had changed tickets of an item for a lesser price, I did not change tickets, but I was in the same fitting room as her so they also pressed charges against me. My case is closed now about a month, and I am now offered a position at a government instituition. My lawyer told me that any questions asking me if I was ever convicted, I can answer no. So that's what I did, answered no. The institution is now doing a background check and they got my fingerprints to send it to the FBI for a full background check. I am really nervous, what will the FBI see in my file? Will there be a file? My case is sealed, but I have fingerprints on the computer. Also my lawyer said that I was not convicted and the charges went thru as just like a traffic violation. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks
