QUESTION
How can I have the felony drug charge expunged?
Asked on Aug 24th, 2012 on Expungements - California
More details to this question:
I graduated from Kaplan College in 2010 for medical assistant with 3.85gpa. I found out from a former employer that they were not supposed to let me do that course because I have a felony drug conviction. I even sat in her office while she was on a conference call with the president and she even said I was not supposed to be able to do so. Now I am $17,000 in debt have no job. Can I sue them? The policy even states that persons with felonies are not eligible. Help me please. Do I have a case? Where do I start? Thank you.

THERE IS NO FELONY EXPUNGEMENT IN CALIFORNIA. I constantly get this question, maybe because they have this category on the lawqa. You can try to get a job, in medical assisting. I don't know if there is a licensing, but depeding on how old the conviction is you may be able to get a state license. You must tell any licensing board in California about your conviction.
