I plead guilty to fiduciary theft in Oct 2010. I got 5 yrs probation 5 weekends in jail and restitution. I have done all my weekends almost have restitution paid back and probation officer said he is about to put me on unsupervised. I lost my new job due to cut backs and later company closed down. I am 37 have been in vending and rt sales since I was 22. I made a mistake and just want to go back to work and support my family. Everything I am qualified for wont hire me because of my felony. Can I get this felony taken off my record or made invisible to employers now so I can go back to work.

You cannot get it the arrest expunged because that is what happens at the end of you Probation. You can ask for tour Probation to terminate early and then it will get off your record automatically. This is not easy in your case because you have restitution to pay but it can be done.
