If the charge was dismissed as you say you can simply apply for expungement.  If it was part of a larger agreement where other charges were pleaded to, the Commonwealth may argue that to preserve the record it should remain.  However, it is up to the judges discretion at that point.  If your case was simply expunged you are eligible to have the charges removed and can file the appropriate petition with the local clerk of courts.  ...

Hi there Allison,   While there are more circumstances to consider, and the decision as to whether a firearm license should be granted is generally in the discretion of the police chief, the answer to your question is "yes."   The Massachusetts firearms licensing laws are found here:  https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/Parti/Titlexx/Chapter140/Section131 A right to carry a firearm is a personal right.  I don't see the disqualification of one household member as a categorical basis to exclude another from exercise if their constitutional right to bear arms - provided that the firearm was adequately controlled, secured, and otherwise in compliance with the law.   Second, a sealed record is not a basis for disqualification from possession of a firearm.  Depending on whether the record is sealed or expunged, the record may or may not be accessible to law enforcment.  Assuming the record is sealed (not expunged), your husband's prior convictions may or may not disqualify him from firearm possession.  Not all criminal offenses result in the loss of the right to own a firearm.   We can discuss the specifics if you like.  Please feel free to reach out to my office at (978) 474-0054, or check out my website at www.erkanlaw.com  ...

It does not happen automatically or by right.  If you were found guilty of anything, those matters are not eligible for expungement. ... Read Answer

Under Labor Code section 432.7, an arrest which does not result in convictions cannot be considered for employment purposes. However, there are two big caveats to that rule. First, Macy's obviously can continue to refuse to employ you. Second, institutions insured by the FDIC (banks) may not employ anyone charged with theft or fraud, even if the charges were dropped. You may ask the FDIC for consideration under the de minimis rule, but that would be something you'd have to do on your own. ... Read Answer
