Keep Your Past From Jeopardizing Your Future By Getting An Expungement!
Jan. 15, 2015
If you can relate to the new hit show Orange Is The New Black, CSI, Law & Order, or Cops, then you need to know about expungements. In West Virginia, there exists a process that allows those individuals that have been convicted of a range of misdemeanors to seal and remove their arrests/convictions from their criminal record.
Nowadays, nearly every employer will run a background check and cross reference it with questions that you answered on their application. They are looking to eliminate individuals with a checkered past, however long ago or remote it may be. So if there are multiple applicants competing for the same position, and you check the box "Have you ever been convicted of a crime? If Yes, please describe:" who do you think ends up with the job?
