No, if the original judgment was reversed and the second verdict was Not Guilty you have not been convicted. However, the records of these actions, as well as the original arrest, will still exist.

∙ 13y agoNo, it is NOT a conviction.. However the record of all these actions will continue to exist, and you will have to petition to have your record expunged if you want to remove all public traces of it.

Which was it? Were you found "Not Guilty" or was the case "Dismissed."
If your original guilty plea was reversed - you were re-tried - and then found not guilty, then you're NOT GUILTY, and it will NOT show as a conviction.
If your original guilty plea was reversed - and was THEN 'dismissed" without any retrial, that, too, is NOT a conviction.
The court finding can NOT be both "not guilty" and "case dismissed."
You are either confusing your terminology or have misunderstood the outcome of your case. It has to be one or the other, it cannot be both.
ALSO: IF the case was dismissed, it makes a great deal of difference HOW it was dismissed. If it was Dismissed WITH Prejudice then you are home free. If it was Dismissed WITHOUT prejudice there is a possibility that you could be re-charged again for the same offense.
ADDITIONAL; Regardless of the outcome, ALL of these actions will show up on your record so you had better be prepared to be asked to at least explain them even IF it resulted in no conviction record. Your best bet would be to apply for the expungment of the entire record of the case and be done with it.
All-in-all your best bet would be to respond to the Clerk of the Court's office and ask them to explain to you what happened to the case in court, OR consult with an attorney for their counsel on the matter.

Can you get a life insurance license in Michigan with a felony conviction?
Normally, a felony conviction will raise red flags for the regulator who is responsible for granting licenses. Most states have provisions in their insurance licensing statutes that prohibit insurance licenses for people who have been convicted of felonies that involve "moral turpitude". That said, there are also often provisions that temper this prohibition and allow licenses under certain circumstances, such as after a stated period of time has elapsed after the conviction.
