Re: Sealed Criminal Records
If the judge withheld adjudication, you can answer "no" because you have not been "convicted" of that crime. That would be true regardless of whether or not you had your arrest record sealed. Having your record sealed relates to your arrest, not the ultimate disposition in court. Good luck with the job search!!
