    Default Denied employment with Department of Corrections

    In my previous post I stated that I received a questionaire from the Dept. of Corrections in the state of Ohio for employment. This questionaire was sent after the process of my application going through their system. I spoke to an attorney and answered the questionaire to the best of my abilities. In 1999 I was charged with domestic violence and convicted of disordely conduct. No time was served. I just recieved the reply for employment with the D.O.C. in Ohio stating that they are sorry to tell me that I cannot be employed by them due to my criminal history. It sounds a bit biased to me for one. Also I know that are not obligated to offer employment to me but, I haven't committed any crimes in the past...6 years let alone the fact that I was arrested due to an argument started by the woman who had me arrested. I never layed my hands on anyone. I just need some help as to what I can do to fight this. I don't wnat to feel I wasted my money to join a police academy and not be able to find work. Thank you!

    Default Ohio - Expungement or Sealing of Records

    Under Ohio law, even if you were to have your record expunged or sealed, law enforcement agencies would be able to access the information. You may wish to consult a criminal defense lawyer in the county where you were convicted, to look into the possibility (and it is probably a relatively remote one) that you could have your conviction set aside.
