What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Arizona
I would like to know exactly what it means to have a conviction set aside. I was convicted of a misdemeanor (Disturbing the peace). I have recently submitted and was granted that my conviction is set aside. What will this mean? Will my record be completely cleared? Applying for a professional licence (i.e. Real Estate, Nursing, Massage Therapist etc...) or for a job and the company does a criminal background check on me, will they find that I have a "clean" record? Once my conviction has been set aside, can I indicate on job applications that I have not been convicted of a crime? To what extent will my record(s) be cleared? For example, would the setting aside of this conviction "clear" up both my court records and my police records (or any other records that might have been established because of this conviction)?
Any clarification is much appreciated
