Felon in Tennessee wants to keep her job
My name is Christi and I was convicted of attempting to obtain narcotics by fraud after my ex mother in law who is a drug addict and I tried to help stay sober tried to get a prescription in my name. I got lucky and never went to jail and the detective who filed the charges has since been demoted for drugs and abuse of his position. I had never been in trouble before. I live in the state of Tennessee an have been offered a
job as a phlebotomist in a lab. My new boss has no problem with this because she knows I am an honest person. I don't know if the human resources dept will allow me to keep my new
job. I qualified for a judicial diversion but because I divorced my abusive ex husband he did not give it to me. I just want to work and get my life back. Can you help me find out how to expunge this. I was convicted in 2007 served my probation for 2 years with no problems I don't want to lose my home. I just want to work doing what I love an need a chance to build my life back. This has haunted me for too long.

Hello Christi,
Why are you so concerned about losing your
job? Hopefully you were truthful on your application. If you were, I see no reason for them to let you go. I tell everyone I work with to always be honest when applying for jobs. What good is it to be less than truthful and then later get fired for falsifying an application. Honesty is always the best policy.
Expungement may be a good option for you depending on your state. Often
ex-offender and
felon job searches begin with some legal assistance. Contact your local legal aid office to inquire if
expungement is an option for you. Legal aid offices often provide low-cost or even no-cost assistance.
I hope this helps.
