Question Hello,
I live in Louisiana, and I work for a nationwide retail company. I've been working for them for a year and half now, and when I got hired on the application asked "Have you been convicted of a Felony in the past 7 years?" and I answered no because I haven't. I'm not sure if they did a background check when hired but they just recently did one and I had a misdeamenor come back and they are trying to fire me over it, they said if I can provide documentation that it's getting expunged then I can keep my job. The misdeameanor also happened 4 years ago and is the only thing on my record. The thing is that they want it done in 7 days and I can't get it done in that time and also when sentenced the judge didn't state it under the articly 894,(which means it can be expunged), so therefore I would have to go in front of the judge and get re-sentenced to try and get it under that article and then go through the expungement process, from what I understand. Is this correct or is there any other way that I can go about this? I know a judge but not that well at all and will talk to him tomorrow, what should I try and do to keep my job???
Answer MICHAEL,
I UNDERSTAND YOUR SITUATION.
THE PROCESS SUGGESTED BY YOU IS CORRECT.
MY SUGGESTION,
-first, talk to the known judge.
-second, request your employer to extend the time
limit from 7 days to a month.
-talk to a legal counsel in your state, as the law varies
with the state.
THE LEGAL COUNSEL CAN FIND A WAY TO GET
OVER THIS TRICKY SITUATION.
