Legal Question in Employment Law in Delaware

Company doing updated background checks

I was charged with felony theft and the case dismissed after I paid restitution at my court appearance. Confused on the below wording and whether I need to disclose this.

Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense other than a minor traffic violation ? A criminal offense means any offense that is a felony, misdeameanor, or petty offense under state or federal law. A conviction includes a plea, verdict, or finding of guilt regardless of whether sentence was imposed by the court.

To be certain I would need to read the court papers. I am available for a reasonable fee.

The answer based on your statement is that the case was dismissed and thus you were NOT "convicted".

If we can help let us know.
