Can it prevent you from becoming an attorney? Yes Will it prevent you from becoming an attorny? Depends on how old the conviction is, what you was convicted of, and what have you done to help rehabilitate yourself. If it was a violent felony or a second degree felony or worse then my guess would be no. If it was something like theft in the 3rd degree or something like that then you have a good chance IF and only IF it was only one offense. Good luck
It varies from state to state. In most states, a felony conviction does not expressly preclude one from becoming an attorney, however, it is a factor taken into consideration during the moral fitness evaluation that precedes the bar exam. So while there might not be a rule that says "no attorney will have a felony conviction" the state can keep you from taking the bar exam if they believe the felony conviction shows that the person attempting to take the bar exam lacks the moral fitness required to become a lawyer. It is reviewed on a case-by-case basis and any denial to sit for the bar can be addressed by an appeal. So, the short answer is, yes, someone with a felony conviction can indeed... theoretically, become an attorney. The likelihood of it happening is yet another story.
