Past charges explained during AOS, will it haunt me during I751?

Sorry folks I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. I come from a country where corruption is prevalent and males in general are given more status. My parents faced a bitter marriage where my father pressed fraudulent criminal trespassing charges against my mother knowing fully well that the system would support him. My parents kept their fight between themselves and left the children out of this. So my father did NOT press charges against me at any time, ever. His charges were dropped and the police initially closed his case on the account that he had no concrete evidence to support his stand against my mother. My father refiled charges but law enforcement did nothing about it...until he was murdered two years later by an outsider. The police then instead of trying to find out who killed my father, re-opened this case and this time charged my mother AND ME for the criminal trespassing that my father had filed two years back against my mother only. That's how sick the system is in that country. The criminal trespassing case was then kept pending for four more years during which I came to the U.S., moved on with my life, got married and adjusted status. I disclosed everything to USCIS who issued me an RFE for a final court disposition which I couldn't provide at the time I filed for AOS because my case was still pending in the home country. After 5 months of having the RFE issued, the court in my home country finally dropped all charges against me stating that since my father never pressed charges against me to begin with, my name should never have been in this case. Once I submitted this certified copy of the court order, USCIS gave me conditional residence. Needless to say, I had an immigration lawyer due to this complication, and it cost me an arm and a leg to say the least.

Now my spouse and I really want to remove the conditions on our own because we have plenty of joint evidence to support our bonafide marriage. Almost all the paperwork before and during our marriage has been joint so we don't see a point in needing an attorney...except for my above past since I will have to resubmit a certified copy. Should I hire an immigration attorney again for I-751? Will my fraudulent criminal history past come to haunt me again when I remove the conditions and apply for citizenship, even though USCIS was okay with it during my AOS? Please advise thank you.

Aside from the charges, I have never been convicted nor arrested ever in my life. No criminal history at all in the United States, not even tickets.

It's unlikely to come up. If it does, you can hire a lawyer then. Answer all questions on the form honestly.

No conviction = no problem.
