I had one year of probation. I went to court and was told that I had completed the year. I was given a paper stating that. However when I go and apply for a job no one seems to want to hire me. Do I need to hire an attorney to get this off my record?

What sort of jobs are you applying for? (Working as a checkout clerk and with money might not be possible if your offense involved theft, for instance.)

In the US, you can't just get it off your record, at least for 8 years or so.
But it is very hard right now for someone with experience and a clear record.
So what type of job were you doing before

Hi, raguilar!
What was the crime that you committed, please?
Thanks!

The economy is terrible right now. Even the college educated person with a squeaky clean record is having a hard time finding a job. It's just going to be harder for you.
