It was adult court in california for a drug charge. I completed drug court. So the charge should of been dropped.

Answer 1

With the wealth of information you have provided, anyone should just be able to spout off an answer. (What state? What was the charge? Juvi or adult court? Was it dismissed in court? at trial?)

When you apply for a job that you know will involve a back ground check, TELL THEM ABOUT IT. They will of course verify the information, however if you are correct it can work out.

Answer 2

An expungement is a court order for the state and local police to wipe out information from your criminal records. An expungement can be very helpful for someone looking for work, particularly for jobs that require certain types of licenses. The state police keep track of all arrests on their computer system, even for summary offenses like shoplifting, and even if the District Attorney decides not to pursue the case against you. If your employer requests your criminal record, he or she will get a record of all adult convictions and all arrests under three years old that have not been resolved. An employer usually does not have access to juvenile records (except that information on certain serious juvenile offenses can be released to employers).

If you were found not guilty of criminal charges or charges against you were dropped for any reason, you should be able to get them expunged from your record.

Getting an expungement on your own can be difficult, but not impossible. The process involves filing a petition and order in court and appearing before a judge. You should start by getting a copy of your criminal record from the State Police, a copy of the law that applies, and a sample petition.

Please note that the Public Defender’s Office generally will not pursue expungements for arrests that do not lead to convictions until some time has passed: nine months for felonies or misdemeanors involving violence, or six months for misdemeanors not involving violence.

I would contact an attorney in your area who handles these types of cases, most offer a free consultation to find out what your options are, so that you can get it handled as quickly as possible.

Good Luck!

Lets put it this way, its a lot quicker to get it entered in the system. I just got a credit report saying I had an account that went to collections. Well the account is from another person that has the same name as me. My claim is sitting on some supervisors desk collecting dust.
