Hi Michael, I am a haver here. Thank you for submitting your question on what is a withhold of adjudication. A withhold is a creation by Florida law that allows a judge in Florida to not convict you of a crime. However, it only applies to Florida and may or may not apply to other states. Additionally, the federal government does not recognize it in their courtrooms. If you receive a withhold in the state of Florida, then you are not considered convicted as far as the state of Florida is concerned. However, if you are filling out a job application or an application for any other purpose and the subject of a withhold comes up, please make sure to consult with a lawyer before answering the question. This will ensure that you answer it correctly. If you need further assistance, please feel free to give me a call. And always remember, at Michael A. Haber, it's all about reasonable doubt.
