What can I do to get me Fleony charge hidden. Im a Certified Medical assistant and was, way before i ever got introuble.

What can i do so that when employers pull my background check along w/ criminal recored.. it looks bad.

PLEASE HELP,

There is nothing you can do to hide the felony chrage. And 1st offender would not have hidden the offense either. First offender means if you complete the terms and conditions of the sentence successfully you will not have a felony conviction. 1st offender does not keep you out of jail. 1st offender does not seal your record. 1st offender does not give you an expungement. 1st offender means when your employer pulls your criminal history, he will see teh crime you were arrested for, the crime you pled guilty to and 1st offender as the disposition.
