Possible Collateral Consequences of a Conviction:

  • Education – Disclosing conviction on applications to Schools or Graduate Programs.
  • Professional License – typical approval for a professional license such as Doctor, Lawyer, Nurse and many other vocations include a background check.
  • Work Background Check – many valuable jobs perform scheduled background checks, and/or perform background checks when you’re being considered for a promotion.
  • Renting an Apartment / House – many landlords run criminal background checks, and getting turned-down from potential landlords can snowball against you.
  • Immigration – being convicted of a crime can have fatal negative effects on a person’s path to citizenship.
  • Voting Rights – many people take their voting rights for granted until that right is taken away by a Felony.  Even if a charge starts out as a Misdemeanor, depending on the circumstances, the prosecuting agency (City Attorney / District Attorney) can change the charge(s) to Felony.
