Criminal Background Checks
19-year old person charged with 2 class 5 felonies. One charge dismissed, one charge lessened to misdemeanor. If misdemeanor not exponged, what will show up if potential employer runs a criminal background check? Should we have record exponged?

The standards for expungement of criminal charges seem to change every few years. Right now they are pretty tough. I think the other answer is right but I would add that you should get it expunged if you can.
