Exspongement
I am 46 years old and 2 years ago I did something very stupid. My girlfriend of 10 years left me and I fell to pieces, she took our 8 year old daughter. I hit depression and I had no job and it was at Christmas time. Well what I did was to go into a shell, stay at home and wrote a diary of depression. In Feb 2004 I decided to meet her for lunch and I had a gun in my trunk and when I got to her place of work, the cops arrested me. My father had mistakenly thought I was going to hurt her, her saw my diary. He gave my diary to police and they charged me with attempted first degree murder. I could not believe it, well anyway my lawyer eneded up doing a plea bargain, where I pleaded to a weapons charge and I had to do 6 months in the county jail. I have never been to jail or anything in 45 nyears of my life and now I had a felony. I always have worked in retail as store managers and as a District manager of 17 stores, well now I have my life back together, but I am having a hard time getting a job, my new girlfriend has taken care of me, but I want to go back to work. But with a felony and everyone does a background check, I am finding it very hard. Can you please let me know what I can do. This happened in NY. I live in Fl. now.

I am sorry to say that you are stuck with your record. New York State does not have a sealing statute or an expungment statute to allow you to conceal your record.
