The paralegal profession is not regulated. There is no license to obtain or maintain. You are just at the mercy of the lawyer and/or firm you apply to. Some do background checks, some don't. I would not tell anyone about it though. With so many paralegal applicants in the world the competition is stiff and the firms can be picky. My guess is if they know about it during the application process, it will be a dealbreaker. Unless, of course, you speak Spanish, which might very well trump 3 DUIs. |

If you are concerned about your past record, you can apply for an expungement of records three years after a misdemenor charge to the board of paroles. You may also apply for a provisional pardon, for employment purposes. |

It is best to be honest about this on your application because if the firm does a background check they will wonder why you lied. No law office wants to hire a dishonest person. |

3rd degree assult is something you dont want to bring up about your past..it has haunted me for years..i did admit to it, i stood like a man and took all the punishment the law has to offer but it has affected my jobs. I could not even become a police officer due to the assult. So I hope you understand where i am comming from |
