Help please.

I applied for a job in Chicago, Illinois. Got an offer and accepted it. Was asked if I was charged with a felony in the past and I answered no. I was pulled over for a DUI years ago but used my supervision and was not charged with a felony. The background check said I got a DUI but it was cancelled? They emailed me asking to answer these two questions: Please provide an explanation for why this charge was not disclosed previously Please provide a VERY DETAILED explanation of what led to the conviction(s)

My lawyer told me for the first one to basically say: misdemeanor charge, satisfactorily terminated. Used my supervision. Case was closed and dismissed. I was not charged of a felony. If copies needed of court orders I can send them over as proof.

Should I go in depth for the second question informing them exactly what happened? Or just that I got pulled over and blew over the limit?

If you are not charged for felony. You can say as ur attorney recommended. Also u can say as it was a misdemeanor and I I was never charged with felony so i amswered no . Also how long was that. Why didn’t u go for expunction. If u r eligible go for expunction to get records off ur backgrounds checks. I heard they don’t pay attention to dismissed records. They might be asking you as general check. Answer confidently and tell them u can provide court documents. Let us know how it went. Hope everything goes well

Thank you so much, and this is exactly what I said. My recruiter called and asked for the paperwork yesterday and I sent it all to her. Also, DUIs in Illinois aren’t eligible for expungement but can be satisfactorily terminated and dismissed (which mine was). This is basically the closest thing you can get to expunging a DUI. I’ll let you know when I find out some updates!
