2 years ago i was arrested in florida for possesion of cannibis less than 20 grams. I plead no contest and adjudication of guilt was withheld. i completed my probation early in 6 months. The question i have is what exactly does adjudication of guilt withheld mean. was my conviction dismissed? i've heard things about not having to put that on job/school applications but i would like to be sure. i also heard something about getting my record sealed or expunged. would i be eligible to do this and how do i go about getting it started? Is this something i must do through a lawyer? any information would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
