Re: Felon get record sealed

Cover? If you mean can you erase your permanent record, the answer is NO. Records are forever. There are actual consequences to our behavior.

However, juvenile records are supposed to be sealed from view by the general public; check to make sure yours are, or file a motion if they aren't. If your record includes adult offenses, some convictions can be expunged so that you can say 'no' to convictions on private employment applications. Convictions with prison sentences are NOT expungeable.
