If you were arrested for a felony crime - and the charge was dismissed before ever reaching the trial stage - you are NOT considered to be a felon. And although your record may reflect an arrest for the offense, it will also show that the charge was dismissed.

What does a dismissed case mean and how does it affect the individual involved?

A dismissed case means that the charges against an individual have been dropped or thrown out by the court. This can happen for various reasons, such as lack of evidence or procedural errors. When a case is dismissed, the individual is no longer facing criminal charges related to that case. This can have a positive impact on the individual, as they are no longer at risk of being convicted and facing potential penalties such as fines or jail time. It can also help to clear their record and reputation.
