    Default Is There Anything I Can Do To Cover Or Erase A Past Criminal Record?

    I live in kansas now, but i have multiple felonies in the state of missouri. i went to prison and my last sentence was over in 1995. since then, i have been a law abiding citizen. i am having trouble finding a job that pays enough to make ends meet, due to those convictions. is there any way to get rid of those past mistakes, or keep them from a background check. i have the training & experience to make a good living, but the past haunts every application.

    Here is some expungement info re the state of Missouri:

    In Missouri, under some circumstances, you may be able to have a criminal record expunged, which is the process of legally destroying, obliterating or striking out records or information in files, computers and other depositories relating to criminal charges.

    You are eligible in Missouri for expungement if your arrest was based on false information and the following conditions exist:

    There is no probable cause to believe you committed the offense
    No charges will be pursued as a result of the arrest
    You have no prior or subsequent misdemeanor or felony convictions
    You did not receive a suspended imposition of sentence for the offense
    No civil action is pending relating to the arrest or records sought to be expunged
    If you qualify, you may file a verified petition for expungement in the civil division of the circuit court in the county of your arrest. The court then sets a hearing on the matter no sooner than 30 days from the filing of the petition. If the court finds that you are entitled to expungement of any record, it must enter an order directing expungement
