I did, I hired a really good lawyer. He is a real good guy, we became good friends. He agrees that I was railroaded. He told me that I should have never taken that plea, but at the time the lawyer I had was the cheapest I could afford. The lawyer I have now is a criminal lawyer, he is experienced in this field, and he is a very intellegent man, he is not the kind of guy who will screw you over. I dont trust many people anymore, but this guy; I would trust him with my life.
When he tried to expunge it from the courts, he found out that there was no record, so he contacted the National Crime Information Center. They have no record either. He sent Dac a letter stating that we would sue if they did not remove the false information that they have on my record, but they just ignored the letter, Dac later sold out to USIS.
My lawyer told me that we would most likely lose the lawsuit if I cant get some employers to admit why they wont hire me. I really want to sue them, and it is about the money for me, they have cost me some really good jobs, jobs where I could make a better life for myself. They also owe me for the embarrassment of having to look an employer in the face and telling him that I didnt do the crime that I was accused of, and knowing the whole time that the only thing thats going through that employers mind is; "yeah right. You were arrested. You must be guilty of something."
