In Massachusetts, if your record has been sealed, you can answer on any job application that you have no record, or that you have not been convicted of any crime.  If a potential employer obtained a copy of your CORI, sealed charges would not appear.  Only law enforcement agencies and courts have access to the sealed record.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
