What does adjudication withheld mean
You will have to retain a lawyer to get a correct, legal and current answer.
It is not the adjudication withheld that may prevent employment. It is the public arrest record that may prove difficult.
If you are legally "Convicted" then Adjudication IS NOT Withheld....the whole reason for a Judge to have the option of Adj With is to stop short of convicting....IF you have a felony charge - and adjudication is withheld - you are not convicted....
It depends on what the crime was, what state you live in, and how much time has elapsed since the judge's decision to withhold adjudication and/or your fulfillment of any terms of the judgment. When adjudication is withheld there is no formal finding of guilt, but it is not an acquittal either. Consult a lawyer about getting the charges expunged from your record. The Bar Association in your state should have a list of lawyers who will give you a free 1/2hr. consultation.
I've had three "ADJUDICATION WITHHELD"s for speeding in the last 14 months and my insurance rates have not been effected.
I just went to court today on a speeding ticket. The Judge told me she would reduce my fine and not assign me any points because of my good driving record. On the Court Minutes it says withheld adjudication of guilt. Which I assume means the no points and shouldn't affect your insurance rates would be my guess.
i was just told yes by a probation officer in Florida. check with the courts or a legal expert in your state.
No. If you are a convicted felon then you can not possess a firearm. However if the adjudication of guilt was withheld then you may be able to file to have the charge sealed and be eligible at that time to possess one.
Could you please provide more context or clarify your request?
CTS probably stands for credit for time served. Withheld adjudication basically means that the defendant was not adjudicated guilty, which will preserve his civil rights once the sanctions are completed. It should be noted that credit for time served will probably not result in a withholding of adjudication because credit for time served is actually a sentence, which cannot be withheld if such sentences pronounced.
