Can felons with Withheld Adjudication get jobs?
Hi,

I am 26 years old and have never been arrested and I am currently in college pursuing a diploma in Allied Health and I was arrested in October for a felony under the wrong title of Unemployment Compensation Fraud even though I tried to explain that I never received any unemployment and showed letter stated the same stating ineligible it didn't matter. So when I went to court I was unable to afford a lawyer and had to settle for a public offender explained that the case was in reference to public assistance which I agreed to make payments because of a simple mistake of reporting a beginning date of employment. I was back and forth with communication with DCF explaining to them that I was no longer employed and a full time student but DCF reported not receiving payments and I was arrested. At court the defender told me State Attorney wanted to make a deal that I have no conviction, plead guilty but be withheld, pay restitution, and no parole and that it would not be on my record but I found out the hard way that it was because of my apartment complex that charge is showing as a FELONY..so my question is will I still be able to obtain employment even though I wasn't convicted but arrested because employers will only see FELONY.

Hello,

Can felons with Withheld Adjudication get jobs?
I'm not an attorney but it sounds like you have what is known as a Withheld Adjudication. In that case you may have to find out exactly what the conditions are. In most instances, once the conditions are met (typically a fine and probation,) the charges are dismissed. They will however appear on background checks as charges but not convictions. Anybody doing a background check (other than law enforcement,the court system, and government agencies) will only see the charges. Typically employers are only concerned with convictions and not charges. To be absolutely sure, contact the prosecutor associated with your case.

If you are still concerned with the charge, you may look into expungement. Many ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs seek legal assistance. I suggest contacting your local legal aid office to see if expungement is an option for you.

I hope this helps.

Does expungement help ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs

Does expungement help ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs?


Does expungement help ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs?Hello,

I am writing to find out is there any professional job that I can obtain because of the felony that I have from 2007? I have a Domestic Violence felony that I was convicted of in 2007 due to the fact that it was a dispute between me and my first wife. I am located in Texas and wanted to know, is it possible for me to get it expunge or sealed? Because I am relocating to Florida with my current wife and I have one course to finish to have my nursing licenses....I wanted to know if I get it sealed or expunge in Texas,. could I obtain my license in Florida? Or if I cannot get it sealed or expunge in Texas can I still obtain my license in Florida since it is a Texas Felony? I don't know how long I have to wait to get it expunge or sealed in Texas....I don't know the process to even start.

Does expungement help ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs?


Hello,

If your conviction is in Texas, a Texas court would have to expunge or seal it. There is a twist to expungementExpungement or sealing does not erase records but hides them from public view. If an expungement is granted the conviction will always be visible to government agencies, the court system and law enforcement. Licenses are granted by some level of government.

Many ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs seek legal assistance. I suggest contacting your local legal aid office first to see if expungement or sealing are viable options and then to get help applying for it. I would never try to do it alone.

Felon in Florida looks to expungement to get jobs

Felon in Florida looks to expungement to get jobs


Felon in Florida looks to expungement to get jobs
I was convicted in the state of Florida for 5 counts of fraud I did my probation 2.5 (was given 5) paid restitution and now looking for work why is is that when an employer does a background check on me the status says active? Next I am in the process of trying to get this sealed/expunged. When that is settled will I be able to get a security license so I can work as a security guard or how about my RN license as I am currently in school working on that, am I wasting my time?


Thanks

Unfortunately many people believe that sealing or expungement of records will erase their criminal records. In most cases and in most states, expungement means that their convictions will invisible to the public. The will always be visible to law enforcement, the court system and government agencies. Since most licensing is done through state agencies, expungement will not help them.

Many ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs seek legal counsel before the can start an effect job search just to see how their records will impact their ability to get jobs. I suggest contacting your local legal aid office to see just how viable an option expungement is for you. Next I would contact the agencies that issue the licenses you want to see if you are eligible.

Felon in Atlanta needs help finding Jobs

Felon in Atlanta needs help finding Jobs


Felon in Atlanta needs help finding Jobs
My husband just relocated here to Atlanta to be with his family. He is a convicted felon. It has been hard for him to find a job for many reasons. For one, I work two jobs to support us and he stays home with our two youngest children (we have 5) during the day. Secondly, we do not know a lot of people here in Atlanta,GA to network with. And of course....its hard to get a job period, add a felony to it and it is even harder!

We are searching for possible job search programs that will help us get childcare and help him be able to look for employment. I am on waiting list for assistance for childcare but I have been waiting for months. We can not afford childcare without him working. It is only by Gods grace that we have made it this far. Any advice or suggestions would be great!!!!

Thanks
