Help answer this question below.

Can a convicted felon ever be bonded in a company? I may be up for a promotion, and this may include being bonded, but I was convicted of a 2nd degree felony over 10 years ago. Was a first and only ever criminal conviction.

The bonding company will ask your permission, in writing, for a background check. sorry to say this, but if money or a great responsibility of your employment is involved, you will be rejected.

I believe convicted felons cannot be bonded in any state.

Over 10 years since your conviction??? No More arrests?? PLEASE do yourself a favor and have the record expunged. Bonding IS possible but you must lay the foundation and it will involve asking alot of questions. Do try the Federal Bonding Program for questions you might have. Do speak with an attorney - you can find low cost ones online as well that specialize in this area. DO NOT GIVE UP EVER!

- I am so sorry for what you went through and most likely are continuing to go through. There's lots of talk out there to help people like us, but little real action - or anything else worth upgrading life as we live it. Still we try do we not? Keep at it - the road as you know is long and hard and YOU will be your best resource. I wanted to begin a non profit to help people like ourselves but they have rules and regulations on that one as well but there might be a way... Lots of do gooders out there - they are mostly talk... I know how you feel... Good Luck and let me know when life is kinder!

- I've read up on the expungment process, like you were saying, looks do-able, but takes something I don't have, money. Hey, thanks for the advice, my friend, and for some reason I still think there IS some hope out there, considering, I'm about to be homeless in less than two weeks unless I can find a job secure enough to sign a one year lease....hahaha, might as well play the lotto. I have found a few potential prospects off of Craigslist.com. It will require me to relocate to another place I have no idea about, but hey, am I supposed to sit here and cry myself to sleep? NO! Two weeks left, IT'S CRUNCH TIME! Thanks again...

- I go through what you are experiencing over and over again my friend....it is a hard road... I too face the hardships you speak of ~ and the fear... The fear and the anxiety is overwhelming BUT we do what we must, we give it our all...The sad thing is the rate of recividism is so high and they wonder why?! I do not imagine myself falling back on past behaviors that caused me so much hardship now, but there are some who do cave in because of fear of losing everything - homes, cars, family... I DO UNDERSTAND! God will come through for you
