The statute of limitation will vary be state. You didn't mention where you live, so there may be 50 different answers to your question.
Here in California, every potential attorney must go through a moral character screening testing. The rules state that the applicant shall be of good moral character. The term "good moral character" includes qualities of honesty, fairness, candor, trustworthiness, observance of fiduciary responsibility, respect for and obedience to the laws of the state and the nation and respect for the rights of others and for the judicial process. The applicant has the burden of establishing that he or she is of good moral character.
You need to look at the whole person. Yes, a conviction for a home invasion robbery would be a SERIOUS red flag, but I would also look at the length of time since the conviction and what the person has done with his or her life.

law is a funny thing. someone told me that all lawyers in the US are liers, which logically means that some lawyers are liers. Society in general thinks that there should be concept of enough is enough so that seemingly small problems and irritants can be forgotten, and energy utilised for more important tasks. Extremes don't make society. Moderates make.

There should be a statute of limitations on whining liberals. One day after the elections they need to shut up.
