My professional licenses are being revoked because someone has got hold of the information concerning this criminal case and have given it to the licensing authorities who are using it against me, as being charged with a crime there for not a person of good character, medical records stating I received psychiatric treatment which I did not, and there for have a mental condition and so cannot be licensed to practice in my 30 year unblemished career.
Is it legal for these people to use this information even though it is sealed, is there anything I can do to prevent them using this information before my licenses to practice are revoked based on this information.
A) You are stuck with and cannot "erase" your past and B) you have no right to professional licensing.
It doesn't much matter where you were arrested, what you were arrested for, what the final disposition was or whether or not you sealed / expunged the record. This is 2016 and we are forehead deep into the internet age, where nothing is private, sacred or truly hidden from public scrutiny.
Sadly, sealing (and expunging) only applies to certain (not even to all) government agencies (for example if fingerprints, mugshots, DNA or anything else - including crime statistics bearing your name or identifying information - were uplaoded to the FBI database then a local Order of Expunction would not effect the Feds) and that it has no effect whatsoever on private (er, extortionist) enterprise, who compile and maintain arrest information and then demand that you pay them off to remove your information from their database and public access. Worse still, after you "buy back your information", then you can count on there being another private company lurking, somewhere, sometime, somehow, just waiting for you to pay them off as well. Its a seemingly never-ending vicious cycle.
For better or for worse you may be best advised to take the wind out of the sails by admitting your past issues / indiscretions to your present (or potential) employer, lender, landlord, licensing authority, admissions committee, etcetera, rather than waiting for them to find out on their own, but that's a personal, not a legal, decision.
Wishing you luck and hoping that I have been helpful in answering your question.
There is usually a hearing and also an appeals process you can go through. I can't tell if you've already had the hearing and ruling came back against you. Either way, unless you've already exhausted the appeals process you should consult with an attorney who can assist you with the process and your defense.
