Re: ex felons

Records are forever.

However, IF your conviction did not have any prison time sentenced, and IF it was not for certain sex crimes, and IF you successfully completed all probation terms, then you may be able to get it expunged; meaning that it would be shown as 'conviction set aside and charges retroactively dismissed', and you would be able to say 'no' to conviction on most private employment applications.

If it is a California conviction, and if you think you qualify, and if you are serious about doing it, feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.
