Question

be checking backgrounds. is there anyway i can go to court and have it sealed to help with my chances of starting a career.

Answer 1

It depends on several things, mainly what the charge was. Some things, like sexual offenses, cannot be altered. If you have only one conviction for anything, ever, and it's not a sexual offense, you may qualify to have your record expunged (cleared, wiped clean). Each state has different requirements for expungement, you will need to talk to an attorney in the state where the conviction occurred. But bear in mind that certain higher-security type jobs will still be able to see the real record after expungement - jobs like law enforcement, government positions, etc.

Answer 2

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNLs3



Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.



You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

Answer 3

I don't know if that is possible, but what I would recommend is that when you go to look for a job. Write a cover letter and attach it to your job application. Explain to the employer that you ran into trouble with the law in the past, but that it is now behind you and you want to be a respectable member of society. Being up front shows an employer that you are not hiding anything and may give you a better chance at landing that job.

Answer 4

it depends on the charges, whether it was a misdameanor or a felony, and the state in which you live. And your age when it happened, and what the charges were. Sometimes with some states you can eventually get a lawyer and have it expunged or sealed. Sorry to hear or say but almost everyone is checking backgrounds and even credit now before they will hire you.

Answer 5

the criminal record will follow you forever no matter what even if your record is sealed if a company does a background check it will still pop up depending on certain things that vary from state to state as each state has a diffrent way of handling things, for example in california if a minor drug charge is over 5 years old it no longer shows up on your record, but in nevada it will as california is more slack on certain laws nevada isnt, the only real way to work this out is to contact a lawyer i wouldnt go directly to a judge without speaking to a lawyer first off

Answer 7

If it was only 1 offense you may be able to have your record expunged. It depends on the crime. A judge has to decide whether or not to allow it.

Answer 8

Nope... the only way is to get the charged dismissed or expunged. Most companies look at either the length of time from today and the date you were convicted or the nature of the crime or even both.



I wish you luck.

Answer 9

Nope. That's the whole purpose of a background check.

I'll be you wish you thought about things a little more back then.

Answer 10

Answer 11
