If you can find an attorney to take your case, you can file a lawsuit for just about anything. The likelihood that a lawyer would take your case or that you would win is slim, since there are no laws that require employers to hire felons.

Can a company legally refuse to hire felonsIs this not discrimination since most felons are minorities?
Yes, a company can refuse to hire felons. A private (meaning non-governmental) company can refuse to hire whoever it wants. The only exceptions are gender and race discrimination under federal law. However, it would have to be shown in court that discrimination against race was the motivation for the consistent failure to hire, rather than felony convictions. Given that those convicted of felonies are obviously not the most desirable of employees, it would be extremely difficult if not impossible, regardless of the race differential of felons, to show that race and not the fact that the applicants in question were felons, was the cause of discrimination in hiring practices.

In some states, felons who have served their terms may not receive student loans, may not vote, may not receive welfare aid and so forth.

You can also seek legal counsel in your state to determine a felon's legal rights.
