If you do not have a conviction and the program you entered into as a plea agreement is not a conviction then you can legally state that you have no conviction. Unless you get the charges expunged or leagally removed from your record then this could still cause you problems. Contact the attorney who represented you and see if he can get the charges sealed....

It appears that if you are asked if you were ever convicted, the answer is NO.

If you are asked if you were ever arrested, the answer is YES.

I was never read my m-rights, the only thing I did was get finger printed and mug shot. That was after my D.J court hearing. I do not know if this makes any differt?

Mug-shot fingerprints = booking (aka arrest)

Your 'rights' make no difference. Unless, you are saying you wish to withdraw your ARD plea and set your case for trial (which would be incredibly dumb).

You received a great opportunity to set the clock back, and pretend you didn't forge and theive your way to glory 38 times.

I don't know what drugs your Prosecutor was on - in my jurisdiction, you would have received a minimum of 16 months in State Prison for one count(with eight months of consec time for ea additional count).
You were blessed with luck.

Go and sin no more.

Leave other people's stuff alone, only use checks and credit cards in your name and account number.

Give thanks you got ARD.
