No, adjudication withheld does not mean expungement. When adjudication is withheld, it means that the court has not entered a formal conviction but may still hold the case open under certain conditions, such as probation. Expungement, on the other hand, is a legal process that removes a conviction or arrest from a person's criminal record entirely. While adjudication withheld can sometimes lead to the possibility of expungement, they are distinct legal concepts.

What are my rights when having adjudication withheld?
When adjudication is withheld, you typically retain the right to avoid a formal conviction on your record, provided you meet the terms set by the court, such as completing probation or paying fines. You generally have the right to appeal any conditions imposed during the adjudication process. It's important to understand that while adjudication is withheld, the case may still appear on your criminal record, but it may be eligible for expungement under certain circumstances. Always consult with a legal professional for guidance specific to your situation.

What does it mean to have Withheld Adjudication forward slash CTS on your case?
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.

What does it mean when my Disposition reads withheld adjudication with special condition?
Adjudication withheld generally means that while the judge decided you were guilty, he didn't officially enter a conviction on your record. Instead, you were probably placed on probation, and if you complete your probation satisfactorily, you can probably petition to have that removed from your record. If you violate your probation, most likely the disposition will be changed to officially read that you were convicted.
