Illinois license (dismissed battery case)

[amiss5572]

I keep trying to find answers but there is very little information. I know that it's a case by case basis but I'm still freaking out. I have a dismissed battery case from 3 years ago. I didn't say this on my background check because I was never convicted. I quit my job because I got a letter saying I could practice.. Then a week later received a letter saying I was prohibited and needed to send on paperwork. I wrote out my statement and sent certified copies 2 1/2 weeks ago and have heard nothing.

It's so frosting. I call them everyday and they have nothing to say. Is it really necessary to get a lawyer for this? I have a clean record otherwise and a court date to get it expunged in November. I'm a single mother who has worked her butt off for this. Would they really deny a license because of one night 3 years ago?

It's difficult because I don't know if I should just start working somewhere else. You can't just start working somewhere and leave right away. It wouldn't be right. Please if anyone has similar situation let me know.
