Re: backround checks

If your record is expunged then you do not have to reveal the conviction on job applications. The conviction is not supposed to show up but even if it does potential employer cannot used it against you.

I am wondering whether you also reduced your charge(s) to misdemeanor before you expunged. Very important step.

Feel free to contact me directly.
