Do I have to disclose a reduced felony on a job application?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
You apparently are unaware that employers can do a background check that includes your criminal, credit, and employment history. If you lie on an application, it is resume fraud for which you will be fired or denied the job. Read the effect of expungement below: Records are forever. However, some CA criminal convictions can be 'expunged' from criminal records by proper application and Petition to the convicting court, but ONLY IF there was no felony prison time sentenced whether served or not, and if it was not for certain listed sexual crimes, and if all terms of sentencing and at least one year of probation are completed, and if there are no new charges pending. If successful, the conviction would be retroactively withdrawn and the charges dismissed. Expungement does NOT clear, 'remove', erase or disappear the conviction. Nothing will. Expungement does change the record to show an arrest, charges filed, with 'conviction reversed and charges dismissed by expungement'. The conviction is still a 'prior' or 'strike' for purposes of repeat offenses. That record is accessible in background checks. Expungement will help in obtaining employment. When applying for a job in the private sector, in response to any question concerning your prior criminal record, you may legally deny that you were arrested or convicted of the offense.

Is it true that I cannot buy a hand gun since I did no complete the chemical dependency program in 2005?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
More facts are needed in order to answer this question. The main question is were you convicted of a felony? If you were not convicted you can probably own a handgun. If you were convicted, you need to apply to have your gun rights restored, but cannot do so prior to 8 years of the completion of the sentence. Your problems centers on not completing a condition of your probation. You did not complete the sentence so you have to wait until 8 years after you do.

Can law enforcement office enter my home without warrant?

Jason William Savela
Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
Criminal Law lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
Maybe, maybe not. Generally, they cannot enter a house without a warrant. The issue is the gun shot and what they were looking for. I think they would have to have more than just that someone thought they heard a gun. Was there an arrest? Any evidence seized? We could challenge it. Depending on the facts, you may have a civil case.
