You can get a certificate of relief from civil disabilities.That being said, without an employment contract you can be dismissed without cause or reason.If you are a union member you may also have some additional rights.You may also petition the court to seal your record under certain circumstances.This however is a costly matter. You may call my office @718-834-0087 for more info.
