Check the standards for your local law enforcement agencies where you intend to apply.  The charge sounds like a reduced charge with plea of guilty.  Law enforcement agencies normally consider your actual conduct during the crime and not the court resolution since they are evaluating you on your character and fitness to be a police officer and carry a firearm.  If the charge was in the  last 7 to 10 years or involved dishonesty or perjury chances are you will not be hired.  A police officer is expected to spend much time testifying under oath, and obviously if they can show you lied under oath in the past, your ability to be a law enforcement officer is impeached.  Sorry but most other public jobs are available providing no felony or misuse of funds.

I'm assuming that since you have the certificate it was an arrest and conviction and not just an arrest. If the incident was 21 years ago and you've had a clean record since then, then you probably won't have much of a problem. The biggest hurdle you'll have to face is if your arrest was for drugs. People with drug convictions in their background will be automatically disqualified from some jobs, especially if you're applying for a position where you'd have access to controlled substances. The best advice that I can give you is to be 100% honest when applying for the job. Lying about your past will get you in more trouble than telling the truth.

Well, anything is possible but I cannot predict the chances of success.  Your are dealing with two separate issues.  The first issue is whether you can become an attorney with a felony conviction.  It really depends on the type of conviction.  Most state bar organizations do moral character screening and people who have been convicted of "crimes of moral turpitude" will get a hard look.  It's not an automatic disqualifier in most jurisdictions.\n\nI know of one attorney in California who lost his license to practice law because of a nasty cocaine habit.  He got cleaned up and has been reinstated.\n\nThe second question whether you can get HIRED as defense attorney.  Your ocnviction is public record and could show up in a background search.  The decision to hire is up to the employer, whether it be the public defender's office or a private criminal defense law firm.

I would think so if you had to spend jail time--and a future employer wants to know your criminal background. I know it applies in New York.

clean background is a must but most know that the majority of applicants aren't perfect .  You cannot have a domestic battery charge on your record\n\nit normally takes about 2 to 5 years to become part of the gang unit depending on the agency.  They want you to know the Job first.

Convicted felons are generally prohibited from possessing a firearm under both federal and many state laws.  That would tend to sink your ship right there, as law enforcement officers usually are armed.\n\nI'd agree with the other poster so far in that I can't imagine a law enforcement agency hiring a felon.  The felony conviction is something that would almost certainly have to be disclosed to the defense, and the credibility of the officer would effectively be shot.\n\nAs for being a lawyer: who knows?  Those guys get away with some of the most outrageous stuff I've ever seen (the DA in my county has been convicted of tax evasion and was sentenced to some period of time in jail...but he's still the DA and the liberal folks in this county seem to love him).  Go figure.\n\nGood luck with your quest...I hope you can find something that will make you happy and serve society well.\n\n1/29/06: Expungement is certainly something worth checking into, but don't let yourself be fooled into thinking you won't have to disclose your conviction to a law enforcement agency during the background process.  Laws probably vary by state, but I'd bet you have to disclose even an expunged conviction to a law enforcement agency you're applying to.

Try Burger King, they seem to employ a lot of ex-cons in my area.

Depends on the place and the specific force requirements, but if you had a degree in a specialized field like Sociology (Criminology) or Psychology, you could probably be considered for work assignments in specialized divisions if you wanted.

I dont know how to find a job for  convicted felons but I would suggest (if you can) try contacting your probation officer. Ask them about any job placements and also ask about any programs to "volunteer" . If you can prove that your a new person to an employer that would help . Volunteering would look great on a job ap!

Hopefully, your infraction was only a youthful mistake from a distant past. Under federal law, agencies cannot report an arrest that from date of entry was more than seven years ago.\nThat said, honest is always the best policy and you should tell your employer all the facts.\nAlso, it is up to the employer to make the final decision, after being aware of your records.\nObviously, sensitive jobs, such as a bank teller or a preschool teacher, would rather not hire ex-convicts.\nBut you should still try and contact as many employers as possible. Again, the final decision is made by them and having broken the law does not automatically preclude you from a job.

You could still be hired.  Be very carefull when asked about your criminal and citation record to disclose it all when asked or filling out the application.  Manytimes they are looking for lies on the application or during the interview and do not consider past criminal and citation records if disclosed.  If not disclosed they would consider you lying.

Yes you can.\nIf your record is currently clean they may be talked into a fine and a dismissal of misdemeanor charges and a reduction to a civil infraction. But that is no guarantee.\nHope this helps.

I assume you are thinking of working at a call centre.  Check out the neighborhood crime rate with the police. See if there are muggings, rapes, crimes against persons.  \n\nWould you have co-workers, that you could go to your cars/transport in groups?  Personal safety to and from the workplace is the big safety issue I see, as being of concern.

any felony will effect any job.It's up to the hospitals policy in your case,and possibly state laws are involved.check with a low cost handy dandy paralegal to help you find out.

not necessarily, but a college degree (especially in criminology) will increase your chances of getting hired. however, you CAN apply for it, if you are at least a high school graduate. my uncle is a police officer, he didn't graduate college but he WAS in college -- he studied, then quit. \ntry taking some criminology classes in a community college -- so that you will gain information about the career. and good luck

bars ?? I'm going to assume that you are talking about where you can't work ...no places where alcohol is served, no casinos, no being accessable to firearms (you can work in a place patroled by a officer with a firearm) I think thats about it ..... you could probably work in a restaurant that serves alcohol but ask your p.o. to be sure there may be a stipulation like you aren't allowed to serve it
