REPERCUSSIONS OF A CRIMINAL RECORD IN ST. LOUIS

According to FBI standards, as much as 29.5% of American adults have a criminal record, and that number could be much higher if ALL types of misdemeanor offenses were included. A criminal record can consist of a mere arrest or even being fingerprinted – even if the person is not charged or convicted of a crime. These blemishes on criminal records are often for petty offenses, including marijuana tickets, bad checks, and even littering.

Unfortunately, issues often arise years later when applying for things like jobs or professional licenses, only to find out they’ve been denied because of youthful indiscretions or clerical errors, or honest mistakes that are still showing up on their criminal record.

A criminal record can impact your life in many ways:

  • Employment — Employers can pull background checks and criminal record checks before hiring. Although you do not have to divulge the details of the incident, the mere existence of a criminal record is enough for many employers to deny hiring you.
  • Driver’s license — Driving-related offenses can lead to the suspension or revocation of your license. Individuals who need to drive for work and commercial drivers license (CDL) holders’ livelihoods can be dramatically impacted.
  • Child custody — Having a criminal record can reduce the rights you have to the custody of your children or even see them.
  • Immigration — If you are not a United States citizen, or even if you are a lawful permanent resident (LPR), you can face deportation.
  • Firearms — If you’ve been convicted of a felony offense or domestic assault, you lose your right to own or possess a firearm, even for hunting purposes.
  • College admission — A blemish on your criminal record can restrict your options for colleges and graduate schools. It can also impact your ability to obtain financial aid.
  • Renting or leasing — Finding a home can become difficult when many landlords and property owners conduct criminal record checks.

A conviction for a criminal offense shouldn’t cripple you forever. Learn more about the collateral consequences of a criminal charge and whether you are eligible for expungement from an experienced attorney.
