Virginia
Hi guys, I'm new to this website and tried searching for this but didn't find anything that answered my question.. Anyway, I got caught in the VCU dorms with weed and alcohol and got a Possession of Marijuana charge and a Possession of Alcohol underage charge. I got a lawyer and already had my arraignment, and my trial will be this upcoming wednesday.
My lawyer told me he'd get my case dismissed as long as I don't mess up while I'll be on probation.. My question to you guys (since he didn't really give me a clear answer) is what exactly 'dismissed' means? Does that mean it's like it never happened? And on job applications, when it says "Have you been convicted of a felony in the last 7-10 years?" do I have to answer that question with a 'yes'?
Any help would be ridiculously appreciated!!
Best,
Alex
