Considering the list of crimes that one could commit to receive a Felony, I'd say you probably have one of the best ones when it comes to your profession; one that could actually complement your experience record. So chin up.

While what he was convicted of is fairly minor from the details given, the felony question on an application generally looks like this: Have you ever been convicted of a Felony? [ ]Yes [ ]No

Its hard to explain it if you are only given an 'X' to answer it.

Every one that I have seen has a follow up: If yes, please explain. But maybe that is more to do with location. As noted by another HNer, we're not as concerned about that in the SF Bay Area.

Almost always, the next question is "If you checked yes to the previous question, please explain"
