Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: employment

Discuss this with the attorney that helped you get the expungement. I would not, if you retained me as your attorney on this, assume that the conviction was expunged. That said, I believe the paperwork you received on the expungement describes when you can legally answer "no" (because you can be asked about convictions for licensure, as well as by employers, for jury duty, etc.). If you did the expungement yourself, double check with the court that it was properly completed and get the official paperwork to confirm when you can legally answer "no". LawGuru is a starting point, but answers here should not be relied on as legal advice.

I've worked for several insurance companies and back then there were some salespeople who made a fortune -- real personable people. Good luck.

Re: employment

For any type of professional licensing, bonding, security clearance, etc., you must fully disclose all convictions and expungements. Records are forever, no matter what you mistakenly thought of expungement, which allows you to say 'no' to conviction only on most private employment applications.
