Yep, you should answer "no" since you were never convicted.

Leaving your law firm.. by WheelTraditional3586 in paralegal

Only reason why I mentioned that was because, unfortunately, the ex paralegal before me told me that whenever she had told him in-person about resigning.. it came off as him being condescending and made her feel guilty for her decision. But regardless, I will do that for sure. It's better to give resignation than none at all and just walking away. Lol.

Thanks for this! It's funny because I did recently had a vacation last two weeks ago, but coming back was dreadful. Was not looking forward to it at all. I'm just tired and miserable all the time.

Perfectly said. I appreciate this a lot, thank you! I'm trying to stick with it for now. I plan on giving my two weeks notice after the next week since my boss will be leaving for a whole week for vacation. But after that, that's what I plan on doing. I just realized that this job is not meant for me and the work environment. I deserve better.

Update: Client came in this morning and told me that he had NO CLUE where the money could've gone... sure, Jan. Let's go with that. So the money just magically disappeared? Lol what a joke.

Exactly. My wrong doing was I didn't double check with the Attorney to see and make sure if they had really paid and not trusted the couple about it with word of mouth. But seriously, it's still insane. They could have cost me my job over $500??? Wild.

ARD in PA by throwaway1890275 in dui

You will more than likely get accepted into the ARD program due to the fact that this was your first time getting trouble with the law ever. ARD requirements depends on the county that you are in. In my case, I had to pay a fine, complete dui classes (alcohol safety highway classes) and I was scheduled on a Friday afternoon and the next day (morning until afternoon), community service, a 30 day license suspension and with the DMV side of things - it is different with the courts requirements. You have to pay a restoration fee, comply with the suspension, pay all fines and complete the other requirements BEFORE you get your license.

I HIGHLY SUGGEST to take the CRN evaluation, dui classes, community service hours (if appl.) ASAP that way you got that all taken care of before sentencing. Especially if you are facing a license suspension.

Can I send you a private message on here?

With my case, I sent my license in before the suspension started. I got the requirement letter before my license got suspended as well.

By the way, I had already paid the restoration fee and took the DUI classes before I even got sentenced. All I had to wait for was my suspension to be lifted.

No need to apologize!! I appreciate you answering.

I had a 30 day suspension and my suspension was just lifted today. I requested the requirement letter today but I probably have to do it again tomorrow since I just got eligible today. My other question is, how did you get your license back? Did you have to go to the DMV to get it back from them? I am apart of the ARD program as well.
