Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: Conviction vs Ajudication w/held on employment application

Often, as part of an agreement with the commonwealth, or as a motion by the defendant, a judge takes a case "under advisement" and requires the defendant to do or not do something during a period of time; then dismisses the case or finds that person guilty of a lesser offense.

Not knowing more regarding the specifics, I would

defer to the probation officer. If he says this is not a conviction, you should be able top rely on that representation. Perhaps, out of caution, you should obtain a clarification or confirmation of that in writing.
