I was arrested as a juvenile when I was 15 years old. I am now 23 years old and I have not been in trouble with the law (except for two minor traffic violations recently) since then. I’m looking for a job and I’m trying to get my own apartment now. In both cases, a criminal background check is necessary. I’m worried that something from such a long time ago when I was still a juvenile might damage my reputation and even cost me a potential job and/or apartment. Can you give me some insight? What can I expect and what can I do? The offense was committed in the state of California. Thank you.

I plead no contest to a domestic violence charge in 2007. I was advised to waive my right to a trial, and that after six months of probation and an anger management class, my record would be cleared. I recently obtained employment with a security company, and on my application, I chose ‘no’ to a criminal history. After a month of work, I was approached and told that something had come back on my record in the city in which I had the charge. Was I correct in choosing ‘no’ to a criminal history? Am I now obligated to tell them about the charge? Can they terminate me for dishonesty?

My Aunt recently applied for a job and they obtained a copy of her background for hiring purposes, upon review, appears there is someone else’s information coming out in her report, there all felonies for drugs in a the state of Rhode Island! My Aunt has never lived anywhere but Texas. What can we do to dispute the incorrect information?

I am trying to get a job, but i keep getting denied because of my back ground, I have a misdemeanor for domestic violence

I recently went in to see about getting several step vans in my name for business purposes the company ran my credit and told me I qualified for one so I accepted and that was that. Last week the same company calls me and tells me they got me approved for 2 more trucks but they never said they ran credit or asked if they could not to mention they sent my application over to another company without my knowing. Is there something I can about this?

I have a charge on my backround which is a mal destr charge and the courts say its not a felony but when jobs do a back round check it comes up as one.What can i do about this.

I was arrested some years ago for DUI and made some sort of plea where I did not admit guilt. I’m not sure exactly how this was recorded, so I am interested in getting a copy of my criminal record sheet. However, the New York State criminal record state site says you have to send a copy of your fingerprint in to get your record. Knowing New York State, they will store this fingerprint in their database if it isn’t already there. Is there any way to get a look at my rap sheet without sending in a fingerprint?

I was wondering if a lawyer would hire a paralegal that has a felony charge on the record?

I was watching some kids in my home for some friends back in 2007 while they work, so I would be able to stay home with my children and still earn a little income for the household. Then it finally went to court in April 2009 and I plea guilty and got 3 months to house arrest and 2 years probation. So yes I am still on probation for this. The charge is called (RUN DAYCARE WITHOUT LICENSE (PRINCIPAL)) This is Class H!! Also I’ve never got into any trouble in my life this is the first and only thing on my record!!

My dream is to be a paralegal! I know you can be certified but what I’m wondering is would a firm hire me? So would any of you
