Concerning Deferred Adjudication and felony case's when looking for employment.?

That information MAY show up on a background check....and therefore affect employment or housing applications.\n\nEven though they word the question differently - if it is legal to ask about arrests it is also logical to be able to ask about anything that comes after an arrest in the legal process. So, in many places - it is legal for them to ask this.\n\nIt all depends on where you are applying for work (not always the same as the state you live in). There are only 10 states that do not allow employers to ask about arrests. \n\nIn Oregon, we have several employers who routinely demand a "police contact sheet" of all hires. This includes every time your name was on a police report - whether you did anything or not. I am not saying I think this is RIGHT but it is what the LAW says. Until enough people make enough noise it will continue to be the law.\n\nAlso the law is what the state you are applying for work in says it is. If you have crimes in NY (that NY says can't be looked at after X years) and you apply for a job in Oregon, that job can and will consider those crimes anyway.

If you have a felony or even most misdemeanors you cannont become registered for anything in medical, law, teaching, basically all the good paying jobs out there. My fiancee' is having trouble even finding warehouse jobs, and that's bottom of the line stuff. So good luck.

A lot of applications just ask if 'you have ever been convicted of a felony'.  They just have problems hiring convicted felons.\n\nA lot of people have little smudges on their records, most employers don't waste time on little things.\n\nBut they could, if they wanted to.

The courts hate pro per/pro se litigants. Most likely they are trying to get you to hire a double-agent liar, commonly refered to as a lawyer or atorney.\n\nThere are many resources on the internet, I like "outlaws legal service"(outlaw meaning someone denied equal protection under the law, not criminal). Try searching around for examples/forms of this order on yahoo,google, etc.\n\nI've represented myself several times at ohio courts and never had to file such an order, it was done by the court/judge. \n\nSounds to me like you simply need to file a schedule of the times/dates for the upcoming procedures of your case that the other party agrees to, most likely ones not attended at court and/or before a judge.\n \nIn civil matters you are commonly expected to have communications with the opposing party outside of court. \n\nSorry I couldn't be of more help.\n\nBEST WISHES IN YOUR ENDEAVOR!!!

Call the employer and try to clear the issue up by confessing. \nHonesty really is the best policy, really!  I have been in exactly the same spot and being honest and up-front got me thru and I got the job(s).  If I didn't get the job being honest or not would not have mattered cause the emplyers rules were THE rules. Any crime recorded on the national data base called the NCIC which includes misdemenor of felony will be there forever, unless expundged and even then I would run a record check on myself. also there are FBI fingerprint records which  if checked  can have the reason for being finger printed-like arrest.  I have been fingerprinted many time for security checks involved with my work.  The difference F vs M in your friends case was due to the states statues on how much money was involved, not how much was lost, assuming she made restitution.  A suggestion would be to consult with an attorney in the state of residence to see how that states' system works.

Depending on the type of conviction this could be with you the rest of your life.  Some states have a "defered judgement" which means that if you meet all their requirements and after a limited amount of time you can have it expundged.  Some states also allow you to petition the courts to have an old offense "sealed" so that it would no longer be public record.  Call the local public defenders office or legal aid office and ask about your particular situation and laws.     Good Luck!!!

You seriously need the advice of local counsel specializing in such cases and who is familiar with the courts in your district.\n\nGood luck.

be honest about your past and don't go for jobs where a felony will not help you  like anything to do with money or kids  the felony will hurt you  you cant fix a felony its a permanent mark on your record

That depends on the laws of your state and any conditions placed on the deferred prosecution in the first case.

Some colleges ask on your application if you have a felony, ignore that. You were not 21. I work with organizations that are trying to stop the discrimination that is preventing people with CORI to move forward with their lives. As far as a career, your robbery will depend on the circumstances, you will need to work on your community service and do well in school to show an employer that you are worth hiring. I am going to give you a website to contact to assist you and others facing the same challenges. Go to school and pursue your dreams. Your past is just that your past it is not the person you are today. Good Luck

Absolutely it can.  Many places now ask on applications whether or not you've been convicted of a felony.  There are laws against discrimination, but companies can find lots of excuses of why they didn't hire you.\n\nThat said, not all companies discrimate and you can still find a fabulous job.  I would be open and upfront about my past if the company asked about it on the application because if they hire you and find out later that you lied on the application, it could cost you your job.

if you received other income(child support, alimony etc) which would have possibly disqualified you then you might have a problem.  i would just call them and schedual an appointment to speak with your case worker. although it may be worrisome, dont let it whack your brian all day. just call in the morning and see what they are talking about.

also, check out your local state job center.  they aren't just there for unemplolyment cases!!\n\nyou can find computer terminals to use, their own database of employers with job postings, and you can use their fax machine to fax resumes with usually little to no charge (phones too).\n\nalso, check local schools, maybe UNC??? for career fairs on campus or at local locations.  just call up their career center on campus and ask if they will be sponsoring any job fairs in the future.\n\nalso, check with staffing agencies (temp agencies).  many employers use these agencies to "try before they buy".  they may be able to place you somewhere with the intent to make you permanent!\n\ntake care and good luck!

depends on the court order accompanying the felony conviction.  Some felons can hold fiduciary jobs during the time of their probation, etc. Everyone's different.

Petition the courts to seal or expunge your record, if your crime was non-violent and you have stayed out of trouble for all this time, the judge should agree.\nBut I have to ask what jobs you're applying for that ask you to disclose criminal history more than the usual 5 or 7 years old. Perhaps you should be looking for work in less "security oriented" fields.\nAnd have you registered with your local job service? They can take your history into account when matching you with potential employers, so at least you won't be wasting time with interviews that won't yield results.\nFor more feedback, I suggest you visit http://www.prisontalk.com
