Summary
In Illinois, when filing for expungement, all charges under a case number must be included. Successfully completing court supervision does not result in a conviction or guilty finding, and the case is dismissed upon completion. Terminate sentence - satisfactory indicates successful sentence completion. Nolle Pros means the prosecutor drops charges, similar to a dismissal but not the same as an acquittal. If Nolle Pros is not an option on the expungement form, use Dismissal. Tickets can be tied to a single case number, and its better to list the case number rather than individual arrest numbers.Full Conversation
