Legal Question in Employment Law in Delaware
Company doing updated background checks
I was charged with felony theft and the case dismissed after I paid restitution at my court appearance. Confused on the below wording and whether I need to disclose this.
Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense other than a minor traffic violation ? A criminal offense means any offense that is a felony, misdeameanor, or petty offense under state or federal law. A conviction includes a plea, verdict, or finding of guilt regardless of whether sentence was imposed by the court.

Re: Company doing updated background checks
To be certain I would need to read the court papers. I am available for a reasonable fee.
The answer based on your statement is that the case was dismissed and thus you were NOT "convicted".
If we can help let us know.
