Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

I am currently serving First Offenders probation in the State of Ga. It is a felony drug charge. My question was while i am serving the probation etc. When i fill out a job application asking if i have been convicted of a felony do i put yes or no. I understand under most circumstances when i complete the first offender that it will be hidden from employer background checks. But what about now while i am on probation for the offense. Am i convicted?.

You put "NO", I have never been convicted of a felony. When you complete 1st offender you continue to put "NO', but the disposition of the case will not be hidden from anyone. For the remainder of your life, when your name is run, the arrest and the 1st offender disposition will appear. Good luck. See my website for more tips: www.lawrencelewispc.com
