Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Conviction Set Aside...Now what?

I applied for relief and my convictions (2 different midemeanors) were set aside. If I apply for a regular job (ie. one not requiring state/federal liscensing), can I check ''no'' honestly? Also, is there much of a point to even seeking relief for misdemeanors such as a DUI? If so, what? Thank you.

Re: Conviction Set Aside...Now what?

What kind of "relief" are you talking about? If you successfully appealed and had the convictions overturned, then you can truthfully say you have no convictions. It doesn't sound like this is what you have in mind, though. Did you have them expunged instead?
