Hi! I will be the professional that will be helping you today. I look forward to providing you with information to help solve your problem.

I certainly understand your concern. A person whose conviction is expunged can lawfully answer "no" if asked whether he/she has been convicted of a crime. In addition, the California Code of Regulations § 7287.4(d)(1)(B) states that employers may not ask applicants about this:

...any conviction for which the record has been judicially ordered sealed, expunged, or statutorily eradicated . . .; [or] any Misdemeanor conviction for which probation has been successfully completed or otherwise discharged and the case has been

judicially dismissed pursuant to Penal Code Section 1203.4.
