That is correct, that is a violation... Which is on par with a speeding or parking ticket... You should not be disqualified from anything at all because of that.
What I would suggest however, being that you will have to appear before boards just as all other professionals, that you have what is called a certificate of disposition on your case. You should go to the court where your case was heard, go to the clerks office and request a letter (or certificate) of disposition... The letter will state in it the specifics of how the case was ended and if there are any questions as far as this case, the letter will serve as proof to answer those questions. The fee for such a letter is $10.00...
Much luck in your career. Any future issues you may contact our office at 212.709.8303
