It depends on what you mean by never found guilty. Do you mean a jury found you not guilty? Do you mean that the judge withhheld adjudication? Do you have other charges to cause you to be a felon? In other words, cal an attorney to find out what your legal status is.
If you were not found guilty of a crime, and you did not take a plea which resulted in the Judge adjudicating you (as opposed to withholding adjudication), then you would not be considered a felon based just on that charge. However, if you have other cases which are felonies on which you are adjudicated, then you would be a felon.
If you received a withhold of adjudication, you may be able to seal your case. If you would like additional information, or have other questions, please feel free to contact me via e-mail at [email protected] or call my office at 813-374-2216.
You should consider having the record sealed or expunged. You have to meet the eligibility requirements, though, so feel free to visit my record expungement website to get a free eligibility evaluation.
