    Help please, I posted this in another link but, haven't got a response.
    I got a pre-trial diversion for bounching a personal check (less than $100) which basicly said keep your nose clean for a year and it will be dismissed.
    Also, i have another pre-trial diversion for domestic violence, which stated take anger managment classes and fine, then keep nose clean for a year and it will be dismissed.
    Here is the question Do I have to disclose them or not? Since they were both dismissed are they still considered mistakes that i need to disclose?

    According to my step-mother, who has a MBA in Business-Labor Relations and is the President of IUOE #547 Detroit; it is a violation of Federal Labor Law for a prospective employer to ASK you if you have ever been ARRESTED, but NOT illegal to ASK if you have ever been CONVICTED.
    SO, if they show up as a CONVICTION, you need to disclose them.

    True.

    However, IF you can get the conviction expunged (sealed), you don't have to disclose it. No one without a court order will be able to see it, so just pretend like it never happened. It's no one's business anyway if the crimes were minor. You repaid society. Don't let society keep punishing you for minor crimes.

    Have you tried contacting your state police for a copy of your record. You could also contact the court which handled your cases for final disposition information. BOL

    If you aren't asked about arrest and only convictions then you wouldn't have to discuss them..Pretrial deversion is not a conviction..

    If you want to see whats on your record get a Dac report. From what I understand Dac and USIS are one now. And the USIS is or does complete background checks ( reports ). 27 bucks and two weeks later DacFix will have all the info for you. Good Luck
