Anyone able to get a job/pass criminal background checks with felonies?

Published

hi

i have a felony (non-DUI/DWI) from about 14 years ago. i was a teenager, just past my 17th birthday, and i did something completely stupid. i have since been fine, that lesson scared me straight, but unfortunately it is a felony. do you know of anyone who's been ok under these circumstances? they were able to finish school and practice? it is a 1st degree, so it was bad back then.

thanks for any input.

left a message with the bne yesterday and they actually called me back. the lady i spoke to said they won't even consider anyone who's had any problems with in the past five years. she also said she hasn't known anyone who has actually filed petition be turned down. she said they have more issues with repeat drug offendors. i am not sure how much truth there is to that, but it did envoke a bit of confidence in me. we'll see i guess!

Good Luck, glad you were scared straight, hope the BON agrees.
