Re: felony disclosure

Dream on. Records are forever. Failure to disclose on any government application is grounds for a perjury charge, and will certainly disqualify you from consideration for the position WHEN they find it during a record check on you.

If you want to try to get it expunged from your record [if you and it qualify for expungement: no recent convictions, no prison time sentenced or served, not a domestic violence charge, etc], feel free to contact me. If expunged, then you can say 'no' to convictions on most private employment applications.
