Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

Disclosing on Job Applications

I completed a Felony Drug Court program that resulted

in the dismissal of my posession charge. When filling

out job applications, the question asked is, ''Have you

ever been charge with a felony that resulted in anything

other than a pleading of Not Guilty?''. Since this charge

has been dismissed, can I answer this question,

legally, with a NO?

You need to look at the exact wording of the Court entry that was filed when you successfully completed Drug Court. I would also recommend that you resubmit this question to civil attorneys who handle employment law.

You prpbably can answer no , but if you want to explain everything to me personally, I can give you a definitive answer,and maybe have your record completely expunged so you don't have any problems.
