The law was broken - knowingly. Retain a good Lawyer as you don't want to look back and kick yourself for not doing so.

As a recruiter I can tell you first-hand that many companies administer criminal background checks and drug screens as a condition of employment. And yes - most job applications require full disclosure of whether "convicted" of a felony and/or misdemeanor.

I believe - and someone please correct me if I am mistaken on this - that a conviction stays on your record for 7 or 10 years. That means this will follow the kid until his late 20s.

Lawyer is the best route on this.

Good luck to your friend.
