Adjudication, or disposition, refer to a judge's formal ruling. Sometimes, the disposition is not made if a person agrees to complete treatment or probation.
Another word for adjudication is arbitration. Both terms refer to the process of legally resolving a dispute or making a formal decision.
adjudication
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.

In SOME jurisdictions 'deferred adjudication' is available for certain (usually minor) offenses. It often involves probation, treatment programs, education, etc.. If all the conditions are met for the allotted time handed down by the court, the offender can avoid a formal sentence. Deferred adjudication can be recommended by the prosecutor or sometimes is awarded at the discretion of the judge.

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....
Deferred adjudication is not considered a conviction in some jurisdictions. Under this process, the individual agrees to fulfill certain requirements set by the court, and upon successful completion, the charges may be dismissed. However, in some cases, the original charges can be brought back if the person fails to meet the conditions set by the court.
