Records are forever. However, you may be able to get that conviction off your record by expungement, IF there was no prison time served or sentenced. If granted by the court, it means you can answer 'no' to convictions on private employment applications. There are some convictions that can't be expunged, feel free to contact me to discuss the procedures and costs and if yours is possible.
