Furthermore, even if you get the D/C conviction expunged, the dismissal may still show up on CCAP absent some independent basis to seal those records.

My main concern is about the battery that was dismissed and if this can be held against me when I try to find a job.

Under WI law, a dismissed charge shouldn't be held against you; convictions shouldn't be held against you either unless the nature of the offense relates somehow to your suitability for the job you are seeking. However, the Republican legislature continues to make efforts to weaken or remove those protections. As a practical matter, while no employer is likely to admit it, if the choice comes down to you and and equally qualified candidate with no arrest record, they may choose your competition, and are not required to give any explanation for that choice.

Thank you for the info!
