While on Community Control do you have to Resister as a Convicted Felon with a Withhold of Adjudication? ~ Chosen as “Best Answer” by Asker on AVVO ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1

That said, if you are on CC and have a withhold then you are NOT yet out of the woods… You must first successfully complete your community based sanction because if you violate then one of the things that the Judge can do is to strip you of your withhold and instead convict you. So, stay focused on the prize (i.e. successful completion and termination of your CC).

In the interim you might consider taking a look at my Avvo Legal Guide on surviving probation / CC in Florida as it contains a great deal of information on the subject and may prove to be helpful to you. For your convenience a link follows:

In Florida you do not have to admit to being convicted if you only have a withhold, but if you are asked about the withhold and you do not fess up then you are likely to be branded a liar. Further, insofar as background checks go, many withholds can be sealed but you may still need to disclose even a sealed case, depending upon where you are applying, what you are applying for and the nature of the application question asked.
