What is the name of your state? NC
I was arrested for prescription fraud-felony in NC. I was deferred to drug divergency program. I opted to go to private treatment center. I did over 200 community hours, attended all drug classes, maintained clean drug tests for one year. I was tested every month. I even volunteer with the program now and have become a counselor at a psychiatric hospital for people with drug problems.
My problem is I hired an excellent attorney and I thought that if everything went well when he went back to the judge after a year, it would be expunged. That was 3 years ago. I just found out it was still showing on background checks that it was drug deferred, not dismissed. I called and had my case manager that I had in the DD program call the DA and he reported back that is was now "dismissed".
I called my attorney to clarify about the expungement and was told by paralegal that was not included and I would have to pay $750 extra and it would take between 3-6 months.
I am up for a excellent job with another company and they do a background check. What would be your suggestions?
Thank you very much.
