Legal Assistant/ Paralegal field?

I would like to consider a career in the legal Assistant/ Paralegal field but, I'm unsure of my options. I've had a felony as well as a misdemeanor on my record. Although the charges have been expunged i want to know what my chances are for a career in these fields?

Thanks in advance.

if they are expunged then you should be fine at like maybe a private practice... the state attorneys office and public defenders office does major background ckecks and they have a system set up and the memory is GREAT on it EVEN IF YOUR RECORD IS EXPUNGED...
