Question: I did a Pre-Trial Intervention Program in 2001 and then I had my record expunged in FL, which I have documentation of. I was informed by my lawyer in FL that basically means the state dropped the case after completion of the program, which I did. In GA which would be eqivalent to FL Pre-trial Intervention Program? The 1st Offender Treatment without Adjudication of guilt or the Pretrial Deversion? Would I have to answer yes to any of them because my record is expunged?

Answer: The GA equivalent is the pre-trial diversion (PTD) program, where your record is expunged. First offender, does not expunged your criminal record. If the questionis asked have you ever been arrested, you might want to say yes, especially if you have taken 1st offender, nolo or Alford plea.
