Q: I would like to know if you could tell me how I find out if I have a felony
A: The simplest thing for you to do is to hire a private agency to conduct a criminal background check for you -- that really takes all the work out of your hands; however, that can be pricey. Another option would be to look online or go in person to the Circuit Clerk's Office of the counties where you currently reside or have resided in the past and look up your name in their online system. You could also look at the Circuit Clerk's Office online case system in the counties where you have been arrested.
