What is the name of your state? NORTH CAROLINA
In 2004 I got in a little trouble. I had no previous record, was completely honest in my statement, and was about to finish my first degree; so he convinced the judge that if I paid for the damages, then I would get a prayer for judgement continuance??? or something like that. Basically they told me if I was good for 6 months then I wouldn't have this on my record.
Well I was good and haven't been in any trouble since. But, on occassion (like renting an apartment) this came up on my record. So I talked to my lawyer again. He said it wasn't dismissed but it should be. Then a few days later he called me and said that he got the judge to dismiss it. So that's good.
Well I recently got a job offer and they are going to run a check on me. I am scared to death what might be on the background report. Do I have anything to worry about? If they do see something, how detailed will it be? If it isn't detailed, what else could they find out?
I feel like I should be okay because I wasn't convicted of anything and never have been, but I am still worried about what may linger in the system. I really want this job.
HELP!
