I have 2 misdemeanors been turned down for every job i apply for the past 6 months. But some of the ppl i know have felonies that work for FedEx not even close friends of mine said and I quote. YOU HAVE TO KNOW PEOPLE. Thats how u get ahead in life its not about putting in hard work its about knowing the right ppl.
I was able to secure a security clearance with a non-violent misdemeanor and work federally, but I have been declined simple jobs such as collecting tickets at a ball game, and denied apartments to where I was forced to the streets for some time. Honestly I'm not sure what to do.
I cannot give you legal advice. But, it sounds like you need to get the conviction expunged. In Oregon, there’s lots of lawyers who do this, like: lohrkelaw.com
If it was your first time committing a Misdemeanor you would qualify for ARD. It's a probationary period. Still be on your record but it would indicate you were found not guilty not you pleaded guilty. After the ARD process your record is clear. ATTY@LAW.369
Having a Misdemeanor and getting a job. First be honest about your background before the company tells you that your background check failed. Second sell yourself, your skills and state anything that would make you stand out after telling them about your Misdemeanor or Felony. Third follow up after an interview. This makes an employer remember you and increases your chance significantly of getting a well paid job.
I also think it depends on whether they like you or not and willing to give you that chance also whether the misdemeanor relates to your job responsibilities or not. More skilled jobs with professional licenses may be of concern.
Have a question i went through a clean slate program in California and was able to get my felony reduce to a misdemeanor, i have court ordered documents ORDER FOR DISMISSAL (Pen. Code, §§ 17(b), 1203.4, 1203.4а) i did a fingerprint live scan and my fbi record still show i have a felony , what do i do to get it resolved ?
my question which is totally valid. I was hired by 20 different companies with an offer letter only to be ghosted due to a misdemeanor. is there some recourse>?
I explain in the video that most people are able to have their convictions set aside after a certain period of time. That’s why I say it won’t ruin your life. Please talk to an attorney if you have further questions about setting aside a conviction.
I’m not sure what state you’re in and this is not advice. Is it a charge or a conviction? If it’s just a charge, talk to an attorney in your area to know your rights. One option will be to contact the DOJ before applying for a handgun purchase. You may consider a petition to the court to set aside the conviction (arrest) and seal the record. In Oregon, this is referred to as expungement. Once the conviction is set aside, the conviction is “deemed not to have occurred,” and you may answer all questions about it under oath as it it never happened (on the firearm application). Take a look at this guide: www.oregon.gov/osp/Docs/PrePurchase%20SelfAssessmentQuestionnaire_06-30-2020.pdf As you see, not all misdemeanors in Oregon prevent you passing the background check. A misdemeanor does not tend to affect a person’s ability to legally acquire firearms in Oregon, but certain misdemeanor convictions of domestic violence or a violent misdemeanor can and often does. Please talk to an attorney for additional questions. Thank you!
I just found out I have a reckless driving misdemeanor from driving through Virginia. No previous criminal or driving record. The state trooper told me to just pay the fine and I never received a notice in the mail to appeal. Virginia don’t allow for expungements of traffic violations. Is there anything I can do? This is making me sick.
I am not licensed in Virginia. I’d recommend talking to a Virginia attorney. In Oregon, you could motion to vacate the default conviction then try to work out a diversion with the prosecutor.
I had a court date two hours ago via zoom but I'm confused my public defender said to meet with him for discovery does anyone know what this means I have schizophrenia and low IQ unfortunately

A good start
Having a Misdemeanor and getting a job.
First be honest about your background before the company tells you that your background check failed.
Second sell yourself, your skills and state anything that would make you stand out after telling them about your Misdemeanor or Felony.
Third follow up after an interview.
This makes an employer remember you and increases your chance significantly of getting a well paid job.
I am an documented expert on this .Definitely YES.
I also think it depends on whether they like you or not and willing to give you that chance also whether the misdemeanor relates to your job responsibilities or not. More skilled jobs with professional licenses may be of concern.

So will a First degree Misdemeanor charge affect my ability to purchase firearms?

I know the answer, but you should contact your attorney to ask them the answer to this question. I’m sure they will be happy to answer.
