| Am I a felon if I am on probation under First Offender Act? |
|
I was convicted of a drug offense last year and was sentenced to four years probation under the Georgia first offender act. I would like to know will this appear as a felony on my record? My lawyer told me to put no to a conviction when it comes to applications but my probation officer said to put yes. I am confused, and I don't want to lie on a application causing a future employer to not want to hire me at all. My answer: You paid your lawyer good money for good advice. Listen to it. You are NOT a convicted felon today, and you can avoid ever being a convicted felon by finishing your sentence with no new arrests or violations of probation. You can't get firearms, but you can vote. You probably want to make sure a future employer understands this, and you'll want to make sure your file and GCIC are properly recorded when your sentence is over.
