Dismissed misdemeanor and citizenship application?

I have an atty who knows everything about my case and he said go ahead and do it.

Then, someone I know consulted with their family member who is an immigration attorney for me, and said no one should be applying for a citizenship at this time, and warned not to jeopardize the permanent residency I already have.

I got my GC through VAWA and my wife was crazy and abusive, and she false accused me and I have a misdemeanor that was DISMISSED because of this. And this record was disclosed and explained in my VAWA application, which was then approved by USCIS.

Would like to know if anyone had their Permanent residency or citizenship approved with dismissed misdemeanor.
